Back in January when I started this blog, I posted about photos I took at Corner Inlet and said that I would be back with more photos from that trip soon. Well, soon is a somewhat relative concept I guess but today I am back with some more photos. If you like, you can read the first installment h...
I recently posted about making more effort to take a camera with me on local trips, and, to actually stop and get out and take some photos. Well it looks like this is the start of a series of local photos posts because I have actually been out shooting in my area. Here is a series of photos of an...
Today we are going back, back to last century, back before children, two lifetimes ago you could even say. The other day I saw an ad for the Australian Moto GP 2023. I thought about it, but I have a bit on this year so I wont be heading down. I did go and dig out the rolls that I shot at the 1999...
In May my brother came down from Sydney for a visit. We went camping but he had a couple of days in Melbourne beforehand to check out the sights. I jumped a V-line down to Melbourne and spent one of the days wandering around with him, checking out the sites, and taking some photos of course. One o...
As I have not been on any significant trips anywhere lately, I have been making an effort to shoot more around my local area. It is something that I quite often ignore a little bit, or I will sometimes think that something would make an interesting photo but I don't have my camera with me. It is p...
Back with part six. This series shows images from my trip to Sydney in Feb. In case you missed the enthralling story to this point, you can find part one here, part two here, part three here, part four here and part five here.
So the final stop on the road trip back to Melbourne was L...
Back with part five. This series shows images from my trip to Sydney in Feb. In case you missed the enthralling story to this point, you can find part one here, part two here, part three here and part four here.
Back in the car and headed south we stopped at Central Tilba a very tidy li...
This is the continuing photo story of my February trip to Sydney. You can catch up with the previous installments, part one here, part two here and part three here.
All good things must come to an end and so it was that before too long it was time to head back to Melbourne. There is no nee...
Back with the next installment of photos from my Sydney trip in Feb. See part one here and part two here or use the previous post button at the bottom of this page. These photos are from a night time walk around the city streets, just a foot cruise, looking for things that I find interesting....
Well, back with part two of the trip to Sydney. Part one of this series is here if you missed it. Here are some more shots taken on FP4 Plus. These are developed in HC-110 which is what I have been using lately. I am pretty happy with the results. As a sort of incidental I am using a funny dilut...
In February I managed to get away to Sydney for a couple of nights with some mates who I have been hanging out with since the nineties. Apart form the enjoyment of getting some time with friends in a different place, time away from the day to day routine also means time to take some photos.
Thi...
In the last post I showed some black and white shots of one of the cars which is for sure on the cool cars list. Here is the counter to all that monochromatic magic, some colour shots from the same shoot. Now I know that they are not actually technicolor which, of course, is a motion picture colou...
Are you a car person as well as a photo person? What is the worlds coolest car? It is a really individual question. For me, a 70's 911 maybe? Another car I always fancied was an XB coupe (a John Goss special please), yeah but nah, my budget doesn't stretch that far. If you are a cruising car perso...
While Son Two was at footy training the other day I had a wander around with camera to see if there was anything interesting.
Just across from the footy ground there was an old workshop which is clearly fated for demolition and having the site redeveloped. I am not really extra perceptive, it j...
My previous post was about the last roll that I shot in 2022. The logical next step is to write about my first roll for 2023 so who can argue with logic? I did manage to get a break from work for a couple of weeks at Christmas and new years but I didn't go anywhere. There is always a lot to do aro...
Boxing day 2022 finished with some nice clouds coming across in the afternoon so I thought that it would be a good opportunity to try a roll of Ilford XP2 400. Interestingly I have never shot a roll of chromogenic black and white film before. This was really just something to try out with no real...
At the start of 2022 we managed to get a week away at Yanakie in South Gippsland. Holidays always mean a bit of free time to do some photography. These photos are from a short walk which starts at the caravan park and goes to Duck Point.
I have shot them with a Nikon F and the PC Nikkor 1:2.8 3...
So as graphic designer why have I made this blog about photography? It is about keeping myself excited and interested in things other than work. I am far from the worlds best photographer but it is something that I enjoy and that I want to more of and with than just sitting images in a box or fold...
Welcome to my blog (it is finally done enough to launch). I am a little bit obsessed with photography and have been taking photos since I was in high school in the 1980s. I have lots of slides, negatives, prints and digital files that until now, have not really been seen by anyone other than me. I...
