Want to know what is boring about sunsets?

In that case don’t ask me… ha ha ha

Man, I could watch sunsets everyday, and in fact I almost do when I am at home or out on set.  The beauty that is in the sun going down is only beaten by the sun coming up in the morning..

It makes me feel alive and connected with what is around me…. be it people, pets, animals, nature, country, city and my chickens…   bwhahahahah…  Sorry I was watching them free range around the yard with the sun setting and boy, oh, boy they have it tough…..

Anyways… back to my sunset….

I hope you had a fantastic weekend and that you got out, and had a bit of fun.  If you had a wedding or some other event… congrats on getting through it, as they can be stressful leading up to them, but they are a lot of fun on the day/night…

Oh one small thing… If you did have an event, how come I wasn’t the event or wedding photographer…  You know my number right??????? If not pop over to my contact page and write my number down……   😉

Till next time enjoy you Sunday night.

Throw in a bit of extra into your Photography

If you are like me and just LOVE your photography, chances are that you have photographed just about everything on the planet..  Well your little planet…. 😉

And you are looking for something else to photograph.  Why don’t you throw a little bit a spice into your photography and document your life???

Yep!!!  Document your life through photos just as someone would write a diary, but instead you document using photos. Photos that represent you, photos that inspire you and photos that show feeling, passion and the love of life and photos..   😉

Take photos for the mundane, of what you might consider boring and see how you can spice them up so they bring interest.

If you want some tips and tricks pop over to my sister website Photographic Workshop http://www.photographicworkshop.com.au/ where I will be going through some simple idea on how to make your images grab interest and tell a story..   but for now i’m off to enjoy my coffee with a touch of chocolate.

Long weekend surprise, so should I say sunrise. :)

With Canberra halfway through a long weekend, and the balloon festival starting yesterday what better excuse than you get up early, and get some sunrise shots.

Sunrise shots can be relatively tricky, due to the contrast of the sun and the general surroundings. I took this photo below and a few others but I really liked the glare from the sun, striking across the lens. This effect can be generated in Photoshop, but from my perspective so much nicer to get in camera.

The shot was created using three individual exposures, which were merged in Photoshop to allow the foreground and the middle ground to be exposed. Without doing this they were completely black as a sun was overpowering anything else in creating silhouettes of the mountains.

Show me some of your landscape shots?

Colour Run Canberra 2015

What a wonderful event the colour run is… Boy oh boy I just love it.

I popped along again this year to capture the events of the day and once again it didn’t let me down.

The runners and the people running the show was just having the best time in their lives and it was great to be part of it…  So of the action was the bubbles at the end and the kids just sliding in the colour…  I also manage to get a photo of another photographer doing his thang….  😉

Wow what a first week back!

As we come to the end of the week, and what was really my first week back in the swing, I must say it was a fantastic week.

If I look back over the week I see that I made a lot of new friends, I looks some great photos of a great cause, I got out and about in the sun shine (maybe somewhat more than I should have as I got sun burned), I got some exercise, rode a good few km on my motorbike with friends and got to see a wonderful sunset as I walked around the lake yesterday.

All in all a great first week.

What amazing things filled your week?
