Lens-Artists Challenge #313 – Cool Colours
When I was in art school we used to talk about warm and cool colours. I always preferred the warm ones and for many years I’ve done my best to remove the cooler tones from […]
Looking back at some photos that were publised here in 2015
When I look back at 2015 here on this blog, again I realise that many of the photos taken during that year are not here. I have found a selection of images that I did […]
Monochrome Madness #15 – At the beach
As you can see it is another theme and our host this week is Brian from Bushboys World. His choice for our theme was AT THE BEACH. It is a great theme, though I had […]
Monochrome Madness – Blast from the past
For my non theme post this week I thought I might take a look at some photos that were shown for Monochrome Madness in the early days. I went back to my first WordPress blog […]
The Edge of the World – West coast of Tasmania
When we arrived at Arthur River we went straight to our accommodation to check it out. It was a nice place and right on the water. It is always nice just looking out a window […]
Lens Artists Challenge #295 – Rock Your World
Donna from Wind Kisses has challenged us to Rock Your World. Not the usual meaning to that I don’t suppose. This is what Donna had to say: We live on a remarkable planet. Earth is […]
Monochrome Madness – Outside of the city and into the country
I thought it might be fun to show some of the monochrome images I’ve done when I have travelled out of the city. I love architecture in the city, but I also enjoy seeing what […]
Lens Artists Challenge #293 – Water in Motion
I do love it when a challenge is set that I know I have images for and I don’t have to think about it too much. Actually, when this happens all I have to do […]
Monochrome Madness – The roar of the ocean
I have shown this image before. I don’t know when, but I was going through photos looking for something else and I came across this. It is one of my favourite images that I have […]

Lens-Artists Challenge #279 – Magical
This weeks Lens Artists Challenge has been set by Ann-Christine from Leya and it is Magical. What a great challenge. Like last week I think the word magical means different things to different people. When […]
Another repost: Photographing With Company
Since the pandemic, my life has changed quite a lot as such this post seems more appropriate now, more so than when I first wrote it in 2015. So here are some of the reasons […]
Monochrome Madness – Power of the waves
I love waves, I think most of us do. There is nothing like waves that are strong and fierce. I wish I could photograph them more often like this. The black and white really shows […]
Monochrome Madness – A crooked way out
Do you remember the photo I showed you of Dragon’s Head last week? Well, today’s image is from the same day. It was taken much later in the day and was one of the last […]
Monochrome Madness – Capturing Dragons
This is another one from the archives. It was taken in 2015 down at Rosebud at a place that the locals call Dragon’s Head. It really does look like a dragon’s head, don’t you think? […]
Photography from 10 years ago – Cape Schanck
January is an interesting month really. It was 30 years ago this month that I got my first SLR camera, a Pentax K1000. We have been on an amazing trip ever since. I can’t believe […]
Visiting he Nobbies – Rock formation on Phillip Island
When I went to Phillip Island in early December last year we took a trip to the Nobbies. It is a rock formation that is out past the grand prix circuit and near where you […]
Monochrome Madness – From colour to monochrome
Today I thought I might try converting an image that I had already processed in colour. Though I have just discovered that I have already processed it once, but this conversion is different, I think. […]
