Adventures in Egypt
20 February, 2015

Early in 2014 I made a trip with The Giving Lens to Jordan, on the way over I was invited to join 2 other photographers in Egypt for a few days. I decided to head there despite the travel warning by the Australian Government and the constant bad news reported by the Australian media. Flying in to Cairo was a fairly straight forward experience, I was able to get my visa on arrival and it was relatively cheap. The hotel we stayed at (right...

Review: Induro CT213 Tripod
18 May, 2014

About a year ago I suddenly became in the market for a new tripod when the one I was using was blown off a cliff during a sunrise shoot in Geraldton, Western Australia. I managed to retrieve the tripod but the centre shaft had snapped and it was completely useless. I have been shopping around, looking at prices and working out what tripod would fit the majority of my needs. Most of the photographers I know own more than one tripod, they...

Photography problems
1 April, 2014

Hey All, It's with a very heavy heart that I write this post, it's been awhile coming, but I've decided that it is time for me to put down my camera, at least in a professional capacity. It's been a hard slog since starting full-time in 2008, I've changed directions a few times, had some pretty awesome highs like getting magazine covers, interviews, TV coverage, travelling to Cambodia on a volunteer trip and seeing a heap of Australia... I've...

Hey All, Long time between posts, I know, it's been a pretty hectic few months with projects all over the place! Since my last blog post I've worked with many local companies helping them with their photography and some virtual tours. In the break there were also some trips away to Geraldton and a project Albany. Here are some of the photos from the trip: The rest of 2014 is shaping up to be very busy, already I have...

Google Business Photos
28 November, 2013

Hey All,   I've been pretty busy over the last few weeks, capturing some virtual tours of our local businesses.  For those who might have missed it, last year I went through Google's certification program and became a Google Trusted Photographer. This allows me to photograph Google Street View style virtual tours inside businesses and put them on Google Maps, which is great for the business as Google Maps is, by far, the most used app...

Nik Analog Efex Pro - Before & After
31 October, 2013

Yesterday Google made a heap of announcements about new features for their Google+ platform, many of them photography related.   On top of that, they announced a brand new plugin in their Nik collection called Analog Efex Pro, essentially it emulates many different types of old school cameras, films and processing styles. I purchased the Nik suite earlier this year and Google have generously decided to offer Analog Efex Pro free to any...

Hey All, Bec and I have decided to make a move that we've both been wanting to do for many years now.. we're going to be leaving Perth and moving to the Busselton / Dunsborough region in Australia's South West as soon as we can find a house down there. For those not familiar with the region, it's a beautiful region surrounded with beaches, bushland, wineries and many primary producers, located approx 2-2.5 hours drive south of Perth. I...
