Lens-Artists Challenge #359 – Tools of Photo Composition
Rule of Thirds and Horizon Lines I know there is a lot more to the title but I am making the decision to look at just those above. John from Journeys with Johnbo is the host […]
Lens-Artists Challenge #357 – Into the Woods
Woods is a strange word for me, as when you see a title like Into the Woods it doesn’t have the same meaning in Australia, as we don’t really have woods. Technically not true, but […]

“Quietly, I leave the house before dawn with my camera bag loaded and my tripod attached to destinations, who knows? It could be anywhere.” This has been a familiar experience in my house over the […]

Lens-Artists #328 – Winter
It seems strange to be looking at winter as we are currently at the start of summer in the Southern Hemisphere. Winter is also a very hard subject to photograph when you live in a […]
