Twist

Shot this very early one morning. I had stopped off at a national park to find some interesting trees to shoot. On the way back to my car I was crossing a suspension bridge and i noticed the cables that held it up. I shot a few of these, and after some editing and cropping [...]

Summer Skies In Winter

Another shot in July 2011 on Terrigal Beach, NSW, Australia. This time, we’re facing north and looking into the sun. I used a CPL on this shot which helped with providing a nice clear sky, but it also exaggerated the lens flare apparent in the centre of the shot. Photographers don’t usually like lens flare, [...]

Terrigal Beach

During a visit to Terrigal Beach today with Friends, I shot this scene looking south down the beach toward the boat ramp. I like the contrast of the white, fluffy clouds against the deep blue of the sky in this photo. I’ve cropped the shot down quite a bit to remove some unwanted scenery on [...]

Driving through heavy fog one morning i was struck by these sun-rays shooting through the trees across the scene. I pulled over and took a number of shots before the fog became too heavy for me to shoot without a tripod. This photo is the best of the series from that day. What I like [...]

October Gold

I love a good sunrise or sunset… This is an older shot, taken some time in October 2010. I came across it today while looking through some older photos and thought it might be worth posting. I’ve actually posted this one before today on other sites prior to carrying out any adjustments. I decided today [...]

week 1

Welcome to the world. This is Josh, and in this shot he was 6 days old. He has very sharp fingernails and a tendency to scratch his face in his sleep, hence the marks on his nose and cheeks. The photo was shot in RAW, and aside from the addition of the watermark it’s completely [...]

Here’s another film simulation. I was out to lunch today and noticed this arc of windows sweeping around gently into infinity. The shot has been cropped slightly. This was done for composition and also to remove the nearest window from the frame as there were structures and lights visible which didn’t really suit the rest [...]

Lemon Grass

I named this photo “Lemon Grass” after the filters that I used to get the warm sepia split tones. I used the Film Lab iPhone app once again here to simulate film and grain, and I quite like the shot even though (especially because) the grain is very coarse, which was obtained by adjusting the [...]

Coffee

It’s a Saturday ritual for my wife and our boys. We head on down to our local coffee shop and debrief the activities of the week over breakfast. I often pull out my iphone at some point and snap some photos of friends or family. On this particular day, I noticed the light and shadows [...]
