Photos from the Past
One of the things that I have really been enjoying has been looking at photos that were done a while ago. Being fairly new to Instagram, or should I say being more serious about it […]
Long Exposures at Docklands
In the last week I’ve spent several hours at Docklands here in Melbourne, on separate days teaching people how to do long exposure photography. It has been quite interesting showing people how to do it […]
Eureka Tower in Monochrome and Then with a touch of colour
As I usually do with long exposures images I started by making the image of the Eureka Tower monochrome, then I wondered what it would be like with a touch of colour. The gold windows […]
Switching Back to Colour
It is Monochrome Madness over on my other blog and I thought I would do another image where I process it in monochrome and then switch it back to colour. Here is the black and white […]
Lighting Up Flinders Street Station
Sometimes you really are in the right place at the right time. It doesn’t happen to me very often, but last night, well, I was so happy to see the light that was shining onto […]
Iconic Images
Yesterday on social media I put up a photo which I think is quite an iconic image of San Francisco. I have seen many many similar images. It is one of the Bay Bridge at […]
Empty Alley in Melbourne
The other morning I went for a walk around part of the city I haven’t really explored before. I was looking for a good empty alley in the city. I saw lots of empty lanes and […]
Melbourne Skyline
When I was in New York I had some good opportunities to take photos of the Manhattan skyline and when I got home I processed them. Some of them are among my favourite photos that […]
When it is Summer and Hot
In Australia we get quite extreme temperatures in the summer and that also makes it very hard to take photos. The light is harsh, the shadows are very dark, as well as sharp. There is […]
Eureka Skydeck 88: Melbourne from on Top
The other night I was given an opportunity to go up to the Eureka Skydeck 88 and take photos from the 88th floor. It isn’t an easy place to do that. You are behind two […]
Empty Environments
Recently, since my return from the US, I’ve been doing a lot more work on my photos. I used excuses before, but I am starting to see that it is something I have to do, […]
Photos on a Friday
It is that time of the week again and it has been a good week as I look back on what I’ve done. I’ve been away up in the Mallee again to visit my mother, […]
More from Melbourne on My Wanderings
Yesterday I posted a blog post on my other site showing some images from my venture in the city of Melbourne the other day. It is my intention to continue working on a few images […]
Weekend Wanderings: Taking a Peek Around the City
The other day I spent the day walking around the city with my camera. I had a plan and was looking for things for some new work that I want to do. I have already […]
Something for Friday
Some decisions have been made recently and one of them is to do my posts on two blogs. This one and the main one I’ve always used. I would like this one to become my […]
AB Friday Week 29 of the After and Before Challenge
Over at Visual Venturing it is AB Friday Week 29 and I thought I would have another go at doing an image for it. I do images all the time, but I don’t always think to […]
Before with Tram lines, After Without
Last weekend when I was in the city I took a photo of the Manchester Unity Building. It wasn’t an especially good photo, though, one I have taken many times before really. I like doing […]
Working on Images Taken at Social Snappers
Yesterday was another Social Snappers Photography Excursion and we went into the city to photograph the arcades. It was grey and overcast outside, but being in the arcades meant that it didn’t matter what the […]
The Before, then the After, and some of the Inbetween
The new software I got for doing videos is really fun to play with and one of things I have been enjoying is recording the screen when I am processing an image. I did a […]
Is Night Photography Hard
Since I’ve been teaching I have heard many times how people think that night photography is really hard. I thought perhaps I might give away the secret of night photography. When I am teaching […]
