      Well it’s been a while since I last posted. This year I’ve decided to try and improve on my bird photography. Quite happy with my progress so far and starting to discover just where to find the birds that I’m interested in. Finally found the beautiful Kingfisher, a bird I’ve been searching for quite…

    Have been experimenting with the wet plate look using photoshop. Not sure if i’m there yet but these are a few of my first images.

    Taking a rest from chasing birds today. Thought I might try to capture a bee in flight. Not as easy as you would think, using the Canon 100-400mm mark II. This lens focuses quite close so thought I might be in luck with the buzzing bees. Unfortunately didn’t get one as sharp as I would…

    Spent the morning looking for large birds. Hoping to get some in flight using my new lens. No such luck, even the seagulls were few and far between. Was very windy so that may have been a factor. Managed to find some small birds in the trees though. A pair of white breasted wood swallows…

    Thought I would have a rest from shooting sunrise and try some nature photography. Found these little Welcome Swallows flitting about at Schuster Park on the Gold Coast. These amazing little birds dart about at speed catching their prey in the air. I did get a couple of shots in flight but unfortunately not as…

    My passion for photography has returned with the purchase of a new camera. Nothing like new gear to ignite the passion. Love this camera, images are super sharp, the colour is great and post processing is a breeze. A lot more leeway in bringing back the dark areas without losing quality.

    I’ve finally bitten the bullet and started to learn how to use luminoity masks. Using these masks is an excellent way to process your black and white images. A bit of a learning curve but think I’m slowly getting the hang of it. I’ve used masks from T o n y   K u y p…

    These are a couple of the first shots I’ve taken using the new Firecrest 16 stop ND. I used this filter on a Canon 16-35mm wide angle lens. No vignetting even wide open and best of all no colour cast . This is the first 10+ ND I have used that doesn’t give any colour…

    Visited Fingal Head hoping to get some long exposure images. Unfortunately my variable ND filter was just not doing the job. Waiting on delivery of a new 16 stop nd. Hopefully will arrive next week and I’ll have the opportunity to re-shoot. In the mean time this is one of the images of the day,…
