So Violet had a photoshoot and interview for an upcoming project and once again we got flown to sydney. Trip from hell. Storms, both flights were delayed, planes stuck on the runway, HUGE taxi rank lines, took nearly 2 hours to get from the hotel lobby to our room at 2 am and then had to be up at 6am, no breakfast etc. etc. Typical for us, every time we got to sydney...

But then your wife/husband/boyfriend/girlfriend/life partner/significant other/puppy starts yelling at you because you took THEIR shoes out of the suitcase to put in YOUR backup tripod and you’re like, seriously Violet, you’re taking like…TWO pairs of shoes!!!! Why do you...

But...

I’ve always seen advertisements for the Suzuki Night Markets on facebook, at the Queen Victoria Markets, in Melbourne brochures all over the place actually, but I’ve never thought to actually go until a friend of mine went and said the food was great. Being a lover of food I thought to myself, “Hey self, we gotta get in on that”. We missed it last...

My goodness! A whole week without posts, well I have a good reason for that. Two of them actually, the first is that I took EVERYTHING off my computer, completely wiped the thing and am in the process of gradually putting things back where they belong, so that’s been keeping me busy. the second is that I got a brand spankin’ new camera! A D7000 and I’m...

It’s Bargain time again! This time I have something for you Pentax people out there. I know I mostly focus on Nikon gear and touch on Canon stuff occasionally and pretty much ignore all other camera companies, but I’m trying to fix that! This one is something that I didn’t want to put up because I want it for myself so bad. Yep, even though you might have a Nikon...

Toady’s Inspiration Monday is the phenomenal photographer and travel blogger Trey Ratcliff from Stuck In Customs. Before I get into Trey’s amazing photography I want to touch REALLY quickly on HDR photography. HDR stand for “High Dynamic Range” and while I’m not going to go into much depth right now, I will say that the process involves taking three or more...

This was supposed to be a post about how to buy camera gear in Australia with a little anecdote about what happened last time I went into a camera store, but that anecdote turned into a HUGE rant (how does that keep happening?) so now it’s a post about how I hate stores. I will do that post about how to buy camera gear eventually, I promise! In the mean time,...

Sorry folkaroonies, there isn’t going to be a post today. For those of you who don’t know, on the 24th of August Nikon is making some kind of worldwide announcement and this makes me so excited that I’m going to have to call up the dictionary people and tell them to paste my photo over the definition of “giddy”. I hope they use this photo: I...

Taken in Mooloolaba, Queensland, Australia “Brand New Day” is beautiful sunrise shot using an HDR technique.
Sunrise over the ocean is a very nice way to be woken up in the morning. As the hundreds of parrots squawked their morning greetings I enjoyed how peaceful the Mooloolaba landscape is before the rest of the world is awake. That lasted just long enough to snap this photo before the very unpeaceful birds brought me back to reality.
