Now, the Aurora Borealis is a well known phenomenon that people travel to the Arctic Circle to experience. What isn’t very well known, though, is it’s southern counterpart – the Aurora Australis. Like it’s northern counter part, the Aurora Australis is the phenomenon of the atmosphere lighting up the (southern) skies green due to the […]

I sometimes catch up with friends who are also interested in photography. In one of those catch ups this year, I was talking about my night sky photography and my friend interjected (maybe once) correcting me when I used the term Night Sky photography. He tried to allude that it was astro-photography. By no means […]

So today I decided to use Dean, my husband, for a Joy Project session. Late in the morning we had the interview (at home) and then we went off site to take the photos. We spent a great afternoon all three of us: Dean, Hughey (the dog) and myself. Hughey was a bit bored and […]

At some point today, around lunch time, Hughey, my dog, became interested in my Fedora. So, I decided it was time for him to show us his talent. He was very reluctant and I had very few seconds to get the shots. It was definitely worth it.

It is with a heavy heart that I cancelled the Lakes Entrance trip. There are just too many things happening at the moment and I would not be able to pull off that trip as well as the Phillip Island one. All things considered, Phillip Island is a longer lasting trip (number of nights), less […]

After an excessively (for my standards) active photographic period, I’ve hit a lull. Well, a cooling period while I organize my things. This doesn’t mean I’m not doing photo related things, on the contrary. Because I’ve had to reduce my hours executing photographic related things to deal with a few non-photographic things, it is helping […]

So, my next trip is to Phillip Island, as I have mentioned in the post Dawn at the Peninsula. The trip started out by suggestion of a friend to photograph the Pinnacles. We had planned to drive down on Friday (21/05) morning scout the area, photograph (sunset, sunrise). Because it was going to be one […]

Last Tuesday (27/04) I went to Facebook to see if there was anyone interested in participating in a photoshoot. This was inspired by the previous post which I wrote (and had not yet posted at the time) on Directing. I got all sorts of comments, and invited (in the comments section) Lucas and Cintia to […]

I remember when I first wanted to photograph a model, it seems like long ago now. I’m not sure who it was, but the dates in the photo’s metadata remind me who it was. It was my friend Lucas, it seems like an eternity ago, but it we’re just hitting 2 year. I had no […]

I just couldn’t help myself, I ended up buying a reverse graduated ND filter (circular). It arrived on Monday (26/04) and I have not yet had the opportunity to use it. But I can’t wait to try it. I bought a Kase filter, which I was under the impression was a German brand – don’t […]

Yesterday I posted What is the height? to talk about a potential project I may start working on. In there I reference a photographer I really admire: David LaChapelle. David is one of a few living photographers I know of and admire because the work he produces requires a lot of artistic inspiration and creativity, […]

I often get sad because I never have great ideas for photos. Or maybe I should say great ideas for illustrations, I don’t really know. I love looking at the photographic compositions from great photographers such as David LaChapelle. His work in Heaven to Hell was fantastic. But I often asked myself, what inspires someone […]
