Balloons over Canberra…

With the sun rising and turning the cold dawn into a beautiful morning, ballooning over Canberra was a wonderful place to be. The sun’s rays, the balloons and the wonderful colours make this a beautiful image. Hardware: Canon EOS 1D MlIIN, EF 24-105mm f/4L Exposure: ISO200, 1/1600s @ f/4.5, 24mm Post: Increased black point, sharpening,Continue reading “Balloons over Canberra…”

Aground…

The Pasha Bulker ran aground on Nobby’s Beach, Newcastle, and this is my favorite shot from the morning after the storm. Hardware: Canon EOS 1D MkIIN, 24-105mm f/4L Exposure: ISO400, 1/1000 @ f/6.3, +1EV, 70mm Post: Increase contrast

Neon…

I wanted to capture the colour of the fading sky and the neon sign in this shot. By shooting in RAW I was able to bring back a little detail in the sign. The white dot is the moon.

Girl with guns…

By using the flash off camera I was able to direct light only on the face and hands. Hardware: Canon EOS 5D MkII, EF 24-105 f/4L, 580EX flash, off camera cord. Exposure: ISO500, 1/60s @ f/7.1, 50mm Post: Recovery, black point and sharpen adjustments. (Aperture)

Fascinated boy…

This one was worth going into Adobe Camera Raw for, something I rarely do. For this image though, recovering detail in the light panel my son is playingon while not losing control of the background made the effort worthwhile. Hardware: Canon EOS 5D Mk II, EF 24-105mm f/4L Exposure: ISO 3200, 1/50s @ f/7.1, 24mmContinue reading “Fascinated boy…”

Protest…

I love the way this image has come together. It’s from a rally protesting the impositions being put on photographers in Australia, and a combination of having photographers in the image, a costumed protester, great placards (I especially love the lack of an apostrophe in ‘Don’t’ – it points to how photographers can’t spell) andContinue reading “Protest…”
