Last night we had one of the most active lightning storms I’ve ever seen in my life. Lightning was going off every half second at the most. I followed the storm from south of Perth out to the ocean and got some of the best photos I’ve ever taken of lightning. I also remembered to [...]

I wasn’t going to head out this afternoon… but when Adrian Wayte sent me a message saying he was heading out to get some photos, I just had to join him.. we travelled *all* over the country side, doing some location scouting for future trips, as well as getting some pretty decent photos. I’m very [...]

Hey All, We headed down to Mullalyup, Western Australia to Bec’s Grandpa’s place (http://willowsrest.com), it’s a lovely place set on 16 Acres of beautiful land. Mullalyup and the whole region is known for having very little light pollution at night, which makes it perfect for star gazing and astro-photography. I took the opportunity to set [...]

Headed out yesterday afternoon with fellow landscape photographer Adrian Wayte, we went and checked out North Cottesloe first, but we didn’t really see anything that really connected. So we took a drive north along the coast and eventually ended up at Burns Beach.. I’d photographed portrait sessions here before but never any landscape work. I [...]

This afternoon I was thinking of heading out for some quality photography time, spotted an invite from Jamie Paterson on Facebook for anyone who wanted to meet up.. Having stalked Jamie’s work and even been to one of his exhibitions, but not actually met him, I thought why not? Met up at his favorite location [...]

We had another epic storm tonight, lightning and thunder non-stop! I wasn’t going to head out because I have a lot of work to catch up on.. but then just couldn’t help myself.. definitely worth the 45 minutes I took.. This is a 71 second exposure, 1 continuous shot, no layering or anything tricky like [...]

Here is the time lapse video I put together from the 1040 photos I took of the lunar eclipse. It’s a bit shaky in the middle, I’ve tried to stabilise it as best I can in After Effects.. Regards Paul Pichugin

What a great way to finish up an awesome week that I’ve had. This time 5 years ago I was getting married to my best friend, I suggested we do the romantic thing and go out to a nice restaurant, maybe catch a movie and generally just have a nice night out. Bec instead suggested [...]
