Decided I would have some fun painting after a long night of editing weddings.
Here is the result. What do you think? Did I go too far?

Albany

May29

I went out to Sharp Point near Albany to capture the sunset with Andrew Halsall, David Sobik and his mate Steven Hurley yesterday afternoon.

Albany was full of smoke from some very inconsiderate people burning off. Sort of spoiled the grand day Albany was having….

Having just got back to Perth in the wee hours of the morning….this was the result from yesterday afternoon. Enjoy

Dunes

May22

Sand dunes at first light. These spectacular dunes are situated along the Indian Ocean Drive in Western Australia.

I pass these dunes every six weeks so you should see a few more images like this!

White Rhino

Apr18

I remember being so scared on this day. These two HUGE White Rhinos decided to walk a little bit to close to my car. With horns as big as my arm these animals can do serious damage.

As they came close my instant reaction was to put my camera and lens inside the car while staying perfectly still. For a good 20 minutes they both just stood near the car. I heard each giant breath exit their mouths and the sound seemed to be coming closer. My legs were shaking now! I was thinking just how fast is this car?

If I turn the key will I have enough time to get away, then I remembered that they can run 60km/h! I couldn’t start the car or they would charge. I would be crushed for sure!

I braved the risk of being crushed alive to get some shots (as any photographer would). This one was before I put my camera away! After about 20 minutes of what seemed to be a staring contest they moved on. Each THUD was felt as their feet hit the ground with weight as they walked passed the rear of my car.

All I can say is that I’m glad I got the shots!

Got to love Africa hey?

Little Beach Ocean Motion

Apr13

This was a six image stitch blended with PTGui. Shot with my Canon 17-40mm f4 and Manfrotto 303SPH. Andrew Halsall was standing right next to me when I took this…talk about pressure to get it right!

If you use PTGui there are a few little hints that I will share with you at a later stage (when I have some spare time).

So until next time

Happy Shooting

Karijini

Mar21

After my new office set up (see previous post) I was inspired to post another Karijini photograph.

Also an update on the massive Stirling ranges multi-row stitch…..with so many files it takes my computer a long long time to process anything. Hopefully I should have it done soon so stay tuned!

Until then – Happy Shooting

Karijini

Mar20

I was going to head to Karijini at the end of the month to join up with Christian Fletcher (our Fujifilm X100 ambassador) but instead I will be heading to Karratha and Port Hedland. The logistics are just too much for my head at the moment…not to mention the cost! I’m looking forward to getting some decent shots on the drive from Port Hedland to Karratha so stay tuned.

Also if anyone is interested in the X100 they should register their names with Camera Electronic or Team Digital because we (Fujifilm) have organised a launch night on the 6th April. Strict numbers will apply as well as a very smart dress code!

For more information check out the Camera Electronic or Team Digital’s blog sites! I’ll see you there – although I will be working with my Fujifilm cap on!

Until then.

Happy shooting!
