Virtual Photo Walks – Fremantle Boat Harbour


At sunrise I met with fellow photographer Paul Pichugin to conduct a Virtual Photo Walk. The hour long photo shoot was broadcast LIVE around the world via a Google+ Hangout. Paul and I both had mobile phones connected to the top of our cameras streaming the LIVE video feed on a Google+ Hangout.

We couldn’t have asked for a better morning! The sun rose and shone radiantly across the water lighting up the boats with a golden glow. Photographing the reflections on the water was simply a moment to remember.

I encourage anyone to get involved in the next Virtual Photo Walk. For I was able to “walk the walk for those who can’t.”

For more information about this fantastic project please contact Virtual Photo Walks.

Leighton Beach

Here is another photo taken on my trusty Velbon Sherpa Pro monopod at the recent photo shoot at Leighton Beach, Western Australia.

Enjoy.

The View from Leighton Beach

The sunset was striking yesterday as I pointed my lens towards Rottnest Island, Western Australia. This photo was taken just as the sun disappeared over the horizon.

Leighton Beach

Went out to capture the sunset today with Jamie Paterson and Paul Pichugin.

This image was straight out of the camera with some sharpness added and a hint of saturation. Taken on my monopod for a total of 6 seconds. Impressive!

Until next time.

Happy Shooting.

I’M BACK!!

The move from Roleystone is done and dusted. Telstra have finally setup my internet and I have settled in to my new pad just a short stroll from South Beach, South Fremantle. The atmosphere of Fremantle is vibrant with a great mix of cafe culture and salty air.

Last weekend the camera came out of the storage box and a trip to Geraldton (love Geraldton) was planned with Adrian Wayte to capture the Southgate Dunes. A big thanks to Shawn, Mel and Zoe for showing us the location and inviting us around for a BBQ and a splash of red. On the way to Geraldton Adrian took this image of me at a secret sunrise location. Great image mate! Love it.

Now that I am settled (with internet access) you should see quite a bit more of me in between photographing weddings and managing a camera store. I look forward to sharing my world with you all.

 

Photographing My Backyard with Adrian and Paul

What a photographers day! Paradise to be exact. Getting up at 4.45am with my head torch turned on full brightness I made my way down the overgrown backyard path to the Canning River with Adrian Wayte and Paul Pichugin. The moon was glowing and the photographers were scouting for an early morning sunrise over the river rapids. Adrian and Paul’s images from today managed to capture the serenity of the morning. The gentle sound of the river as it rolled across the rocks echoes in my mind whenever I see their masterpieces. Thanks for a fantastic morning guys!

I have added another two abstract images I captured earlier today to my unofficial backyard collection. Enjoy

Sunrise and Sunset

Over the last few days I have been up quite early to see the sunrise over the hills. Both these images were shot using my Canon 85mm f1.2.

This first photo was taken just as the sun was rising. Perfect light!

 

From memory this photo was taken in the afternoon as a storm cloud went by. Reminds me of Lord of the Rings. What do you think?

Hot Air Ballooning in the Hunter Valley

I recently got to experience hot air ballooning for the first time in the magnificent Hunter Valley. I must say balloons are the perfect platform to take photos from. Early in the morning beams of light broke through the clouds hitting the ground creating a spectacular scenery that I will never forget.

Here is one of my many memories.

Sydney Icon

Trying to take a different photo of a over-photographed object = difficult!

Let me know what you think of this photo. I’m not 100% sure I like it.

Pines in the early morning

Stirling Ranges National Park

Bring on the wet weather and Lee ND Filters!

Stirling Ranges Waterfall

A big thank you goes out to Stu McCracken and Andrew Halsall for their leaf collecting and placement in this shot. Without their help this shot wouldn’t have been possible.
An update on the massive Stirling pano that I am constructing (mentioned in the last post)…..It has kind of come to a halt. My computer keeps telling me that there is not enough RAM!

 

The Pinnacles

On the way back from Geraldton I decided to head to the Pinnacles.

I got there at about 3.00am and walked around in the torch light for about 20 minutes before I stumbled on this scene.

My Iphone came in handy yet again. I used the compass to predict where the sun would be rising so I wouldn’t have my shadow in the shot and the sunrise/sunset app told me the exact time I would get the perfect light.

Armed with this vital information I set up my Manfrotto tripod with my camera bag used as a weight and held an umbrella horizontally into the wind to protect my camera.

I had to fight the wind most of the night/morning as it tried it’s best to blow me over. After enduring 4 long hours of sand in my eyes, being buried alive and goose bumps the size of Everest I managed to pull this shot off.

Enjoy!
