Background to the Frankston Shoot.

Posted 5 months ago

I’ve been asked if the photos are HDR a couple times now, so I thought I’d share the same info here just in case anyone else wants to know.

To answer the question, it’s not a HDR, although I have nothing against using HDR when it’s needed.

I simply took a single exposure at the correct timing and metered for the highlights, which was in this case, the sunset. With some standard editing f…

Photos from Vietnam

Posted 11 months ago

Just a selection of pics from my 4 week trip to Vietnam – I wasn’t too trigger happy, much so less than I thought I would be. I took about 500 odd and culled it down to about 200.

Here’s a selection of portraits and landscapes that I liked the best.

My new lens... Nikon 200mm F2

Posted about 1 year ago

I’ve been eying this lens for some time now.. some would say drool over it as it’s perhaps Nikon’s best ever lens made. Then last week with Nikon’s imminent price rise along with some extras cash I’ve made over the last wedding season, I thought it was time to purchase it.

Anyway, I went downstairs to grab some dinner just then and I thought I’d bring it along to take a few shots. Fired off…

A Bali wedding

Posted about 1 year ago

I’ve been so busy that I don’t get many chances to just play around on the net anymore. I’ve got 4 weddings to edit before my December, month long trip to Vietnam.

Below are a few images from a Bali wedding I photographed last month.

TTD @ Ocean Reef in Perth

Posted about 1 year ago

This is a trash the dress I did on the weekend in Perth. It was COLD so I tried my best to shoot as quick as possible. The couple were compliant and great to work with and I got some cool shots :)

We went a tad bit early as I thought the shoot would go longer, but the cold hastened things a little.

RB Photowalk organised by Adrian

Posted about 1 year ago

After missing a few RB meets, either being too busy or too sleepy to get out of bed, I managed to go along to today’s one. Albeit an hour late, I managed to get there before we all moved along from the meet point.

I didn’t take many [different] pics but these are mine for the day. I don’t shoot macro, so I sorta stuck with portraits.

Erin & Mick

Posted about 1 year ago

I photographed this wedding last Saturday of Erin & Mick. Caroline Gorka followed me around for the day, but unfortunately I haven’t had the time to look at her photos yet. I don’t usually edit photos this quickly for a wedding, but I’ve got to clear my backlog as I’m leaving for a wedding in Bali next week.. YAY!

Anyway…Erin and Mick were a grea…

Perth - 3 E-Shoots in 3 Days...

Posted about 1 year ago

Whilst in Perth to shoot Jess & Luke’s wedding (I’ll put it up sometime soon), I managed to fit three e-shoots while I was there – yes, it was a very busy week! The three couples; Kat & Marcus, Michelle & Bern and Jasmina & Darren were wonderful and we managed to get some great shots from a variety of locations around Perth.

For the techies out there, the South Perth foreshore and Hyde Park …
