  • Majestic interior…

    The grand cathedrals of Europe must have been intimidating places for the peasants centuries ago: huge, imposing edifices built as places of worship, but having the additional benefit of giving such an impression of power & might most people would have been too scared not to be believers. This image, shot in Notre Dame, Paris,…

  • Young cricketer…

    This is another example of shooting sport, and why I love Canon’s 300mm f/2.8: it’s soooooo sharp, produces beautiful out-of-focus backgrounds and works well with a 1.4x converter, too. This image was relatively easy to capture, although many would argue it’s never easy to shooting full-frame with a big, heavy lens and a converter: but…

  • I think it’s a cuttlefish…

    I think this is a cuttlefish… but I’m really not sure. Anyway, I think it’s a not-to-bad picture: certainly not the sort of thing professional dive photographer would bring back, but I’m not a diver: this was shot at the Underwater World, Sunshine Coast. An almost impossible shot to get back in the days of…

  • Melbourne sunset…

    I was in Melbourne at a business dinner when the sun was going down. This is two frames combined using Merge to HDR in PhotoShop so I could retain detail in the buildings and colour in the sunset. Hardware: Olympus EP-1, 14-42mm Exposure: Frame 1 – ISO640, 1/60th @ f/19, 29mm. Frame 2 – ISO640,…

  • Monument

    A straight shot of the monument shown here, in this light, would have been pretty boring, but by lying down and composing the image with a field of flowers in the foreground I believe has lifted the image out of the ordinary. Hardware: Olympus EP-1, 14-42mm Zuiko Exposure: ISO 200, 1/500th @ f/11 (-0.5EV) Post:…

  • Wall Sculptures

    Mounted on the side of a funky coffee shop in Perth, Western Australia, are these three… things. And above them, mannequins looking out of windows… it’s all a bit weird, but in a good way. Would have loved to have shot this with a tilt/shift and polariser, but I’m playing tourist and only had my…

  • Coffee…

    This very elegant coffee was placed in front of my in a very funky cafe… so I shot it. I really liked the mono version, but my wife suggested the coffee’ colour looked excellent, so she suggested keeping the colour in the cup and going mono with everything else. The post production was completed in…
