The cropped subject…

Most of us photograph all of a subject, but sometimes it’s good to pick something out of something bigger. For this image I’ve concentrated on the tank, maker’s logo and seat, while having other motorcycles in an out-of-focus background has added to the image. Making it monochrome has given it on old-world feel, despite theContinue reading “The cropped subject…”

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,Continue reading “Majestic interior…”

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 ofContinue reading “I think it’s a cuttlefish…”

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,Continue reading “Melbourne sunset…”

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:Continue reading “Monument”

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 myContinue reading “Wall Sculptures”

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 inContinue reading “Coffee…”
