Another dark and brooding Infrared landscape taken early one morning somewere deep in the Hunter Valley. This majestic old tree shimmers with its own latent power in the stillness of the morning light and seems to dwarf the very sky…....

I’ve been experimenting with overlays and did this one of a male and female bluebird, a pair which I seldom have an opportunity to photograph together. I put the two separate images together and in the words of my good British friend, Jesika, I “fiddled with the twiddly bits” and came up with this version. It reminded me of the line from the “Night Before Christmas” when “visions of sugarplums danced in my head”; hence, the title.

Just lately I’ve been having a nice time posting all sorts of random things for all sorts of distracted reasons and thats been lots of fun. But time to run another series across the screens of bubbleland…..and that can only mean Infrared images are coming up. I love the dark and mysterious light that can be inticed into being with B/W infrared film…. and yes all my IR work is done the old fashioned way with film….. Kodak High Speed Infrared film to be exact. This particular series was shot in Sydney some years ago at the old Reschs site on Lachlan Street as it was being demolished to make way for a new housing development in the inner city. I was fascinated with the destruction of all the old buildings and how the hidden backs of structures of were revealed by the rolling waves of demolition. This urban landscape of ruined reality and brand new dreams set in the piles of rubble took on a profoundly mysterious atmosphere and became a landscape setting suitable for colonization by the imagination…...hence the title of the series…..Landscape for Orson Wells….. this one is the first and its the very corner of a building that no longer exists…. except in this photo…..... so it can now be a building anywere you fancy it to be and it can signify any thing that you the viewer would like it to mean…....

The next photograph in the current body of work I’m uploading. Shot with Kodak High Speed Infrared film at the old brewery site that was being demolished for a new up scale housing development some years ago.

“The world’s a theatre, the earth a stage, Which God and nature do with actors fill”- Ancient Poverb Dying storm at sea under a full moon, Bundeena Cliffs, Royal National Park. Do you ever find yourself surprised by a picture you’ve taken – it keeps calling you back and you can’t put your finger on why? You know it’s probably not going to be popular but something about it just won’t let you go. That’s this pic for me. I had a whole sequence of lightning shots from the height of this storm and was going to create a composite. But at the very end of the storm, as the full moon rose through its fraying ends this little moment happened. And it just won’t let me go. Canon 1Ds MkIII / Tv: 30secs / Av: f/4 / ISO: 200 / FL: 35mm

MUCH BETTER VIEWED LARGER Sydney is great for sunrises, it quite often receives spectacular sunrises as it greets the sunrises that appear from the east., here the city seems hesitant as brooding clouds greet the dawn. This shot shows the city skyline as seen from North Sydney CBD on the northern shore of Sydney Harbour, in the foreground is Lavender Bay. Technique: HDR , 5 Bracketted images processed with Photomatix Pro with avery slight adjustment (sharpening & contrast) in Capture NX. Equipment: Nikon D300 , Nikon 18-200mm lens No filters or colour adjustment See Also Sailors Warning !

This is my first attempt at a bird close-up. This robin has set her nest in our garden shed and, even though I disturbed her a few times during her laying, she finished laying six eggs and is looking after them for the next 10-12 days until they hatch. I have tried taking a hand-held shot, but she would fly away as soon as she would see me. Thankfully she kept coming back to the nest, so I tried a different approach: I set up the camera on a tripod in the shed, about a foot and a half away from her, with the remote trigger cable outside and took pictures at random intervals as I passed by the shed. I couldn’t tell when she was in the nest and when not, so I’ve ended up with a whole lot of empty nest shots, but a few nice ones of the robin too. Focusing was an interesting challenge, as my lens hunts a lot in the dark and I didn’t want to disturb her too much, so I tried to pre-focus as well as I could on the empty nest. I would have liked it to be a bit more focused on the beak, but this will have to do! I now have to stay patient while the eggs hatch, and have another attempt, to try and get some shots of the young ones. I feel very cruel invading her privacy like this, but it’s such a great opportunity, potographically, that I can’t pass… I hope she will forgive me! :-) [Sony a350, Sigma 105mm, KM 3600D flash (bounced), f:16, 1/125, ISO-100, Converted from RAW) In case you are wondering, this is her brood: Update: We have now chicks! See here…

Some of you will know that I’ve been following the progress of these little robins since I spotted the eggs in a nest in our garden shed. And I’ve been stalking them since, much to the bemusement of their mum who I keep disturbing… They are now at the stage that they ask for food whenever they hear any noise which they think might be bringing food… [Sony a350, Sigma 105mm, flash, f:6.3, 1/125, ISO-100, Converted from RAW) Also in the series… Just before taking off alone… / The eggs in the nest / The mum keeping the eggs warm /

Caught by a summer storm on the hills around Alston I spotted this tree set against the dark brooding sky and dispite the risk of getting the camera wet I had to photograph it. EOS 1D MkIII, Canon 17-40mm (L)

Best on Full Size As we leave the top of Blue Knob mountain heading toward Claysburg my eye is always taken by this beautiful farm between Pavia and Claysburg on State Forest Highway (3003). On this particular day, May 23, 2009, the clouds were outdoing themselves. Had to pull over and get this snap. I got a kick out of all the poofy dandelions happily propagating away in the foreground and trying to compete with the poofy clouds!! Taken with the Nikon D40x with the 18-200mm vr Nikon lens at 1/320 shutter and f/5.6 aperture. Exposure was set at minus .33 and iso was 200. Post processing included hdr from a single hand-held image duplicated twice to an eval of +/- 2 then run through Photomatix. Gave the old clone tool a workout as this beautiful scene is marred by a giant telephone pole and lots and lots of wires!!!

The Russel Burn tumbles down from the mountains of Applecross, seen as you take the spectacular drive over the Bealach na Ba ( the Pass of the Cattle ) single track road. It is an old drover’s route, and rises to 2,053 feet, from where, on a clear day, you can see outstanding views of the Western Isles in all their glory. Mostly though, it will be so cold and windy that you will will not want to stay too long !! It is a very wild and remote area, so incredibly beautiful. Taken on a Canon EOS 40D, mounted on tripod, / canon 17-85mm IS lens at 17mm. Polariser fitted, ( to slow the shutter for more blur) / f23, three shot hdr (-2EV , +2EV and 0EV …..from a minus 1 stop underexposure reading 0f f23, 1/15 sec. on Aperture priority ) iso 100, Auto wb, RAW files converted in Photomatix and Adobe CS3. / Finished with a little Orton.

Concept art for a planned Graphic novel. Spent a while getting the lighting right (hopefully someone agrees!!). Had an interesting email from someone at another site where I post work. In it they claim that my work is boring, amauterish and the concepts are copied from more talented artists around! Well, I don’t care about the first two points…I am self taught and still learning! / I take exception with the last point..I am inspired by many but have yet to copy their work. That is insulting to all involved. If you have a problem please let me know and try to “fix it”. If not I hope you enjoy my work, and comment as you wish. Sorry for the tirade, but I felt that was unfair! / Shane
