This lovely waterscape was photographed from the shore of Perch Hole, a part of the Lake Innes , just south of Port Macquarie , NSW, Australia, late on an autumn afternoon. Fuji S9600, hand held. I had set out to shoot just the waterscape until I heard the boat coming from my left so I pre-focussed and waited until the boat was between the two trees.

THE SUBJECT: / There were more than orchids on display and these Kalanchoes were among the other plants adding their colour and texture. THE LOCATION: / The Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club was invited to set up an exhibition of floral photography at the Hastings River Orchid Society’s 2007 Orchid and Visual Crafts Show held at the Wauchope Returned Soldiers League Club in Wauchope, NSW, Australia. THE MAKING of ‘Kalanchoe Caper’: / My club president and myself set up, manned and packed up our exhibition of fifty eight mounted prints over the two day exhibition. / This was a golden opportunity for any keen photographer so my mate and I took full advantage of the event to hone our skills on the many varieties of orchids and other plants on display. / Eventually our photographs will be burned onto a CD and presented to the orchid society as a record for their members and I have been asked to produce a few prints as well. / I used the ambient light of our exhibition room which consisted of diffused daylight flooding in across from my left and strong, diffused tungsten lights in the ceiling. / I used my White Balance Lens Cap to set the Custom White Balance as this rendered the best natural colours. / We were able to take the plants from the exhibition and set them up on a low bench with an off white cotton backdrop. / Fuji S9600: RAW, Macro, Manual settings of f/11 @ 1.5sec, ISO80, Manual focus, Tripod, Timer. / S7RAW & Photoshop CS3.

THE SUBJECT: / A brilliant Hippaestrum Hybrid (Amaryllis) basking in the warm sunlight of a nice Spring afternoon. THE LOCATION: / The front garden of my home in Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia. THE MAKING of ‘Stamens in the Sun’: / The bulbs are growing in a pot and as they began to flower I place the pot out the front on an old palm tree stump. It turned out to be the ideal position as the height allowed the sunlight to hit the stamens at a good angle and it also allowed me to shoot at eye level. / Fuji S9600: RAW, Super macro, Manual settings of f/4.5 @ 1/1200sec, ISO80, Hand held. / S7RAW & Photoshop CS Visit the Garden Flowers collection in my BubbleSite Gallery for more floral gems.

THE SUBJECT: / The ship is the Alma Doepel., “a three masted topsail schooner, Australian built and operated with more than one hundred years of history behind her and with more history to be written.” / The ship was cared for by the members of The Alma Doepel Supporters Club. / She spends most of her time moored wharf side as a tourist attraction but a few time a year she heads off to sea for a short voyage, carrying the members and friends of the club. A great tourist attraction, she must appear in thousands of photographs around the world by now. / 2009: Sadly the owners have sent her to Melbourne and we may never see her in Port again.

THE SUBJECT: / This little candid scene was spotted in the crowd at the 2006 Australia Day celebrations. THE LOCATION: / Shot on the Town Green beside the Hastings River in Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia. THE MAKING of ‘Candid Hats in the Oz Day Crowd’: / A difficult photograph to make as I bobbed about trying to get a clear view through the milling crowd but definitely worth the effort. / Fuji S5500: High resolution jpg, Hand held. / Lightroom 1.1 & Photoshop CS3. UPDATE: / This fine B&W not only won the Monochrome Section of the 2007 Northern Zone NSW Camera Clubs Open Competition but was also named Top Shot for the whole show. / I am a very happy snappy chappy!

THE SUBJECT: / This outstanding young lady is Cacey, photographed as she was giving a presentation and demonstration on the application of make-up to models for photography. / Cacey was seventeen years old at the time would you believe and certainly has her head screwed on as she says she has known ever since she was seven years old that she wanted to be a professional make-up artist and work towards make-up artistry for plastic surgery. She is a delight to work with and a pleasure to know. THE LOCATION: / The shot was made during a Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club studio night. THE MAKING of ‘Cacey the Presenter’: / Cacey was seventeen years old at the time would you believe and certainly has her head screwed on as she says she has known ever since she was seven years old that she wanted to be a professional make-up artist and work towards make-up artistry for plastic surgery. She is a delight to work with and a pleasure to know. / I had a front row seat with my camera plugged in to the studio strobes as my external flash and I was following Cacey around with the camera as she went into her introduction. As soon as I saw her in this pose and with this expression, facing one of the lights, I quickly focussed and made the shot. / Now here is where the Photographer’s Luck comes in. Unknown to us all, the light on our right was accidentally set at ¼ power and had little to no affect for this shot – and just look at the result the lighting gave me!!!!! / I was the only one there to get this so I am sooooo chuffed. / This sort of lighting affect just screams out for B&W so the original was up for conversion for sure. / Fuji S9600: RAW, Manual settings of f/8 @ 1/160sec, Auto focus, ISO80, Hand held. Visit the Portraits collection in my BubbleSite Gallery for more people pictures.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, here we have a fine specimen of a Caleana major (Flying Duck Orchid), an Australian native terrestrial orchid which grows in sandy alkaline heath-land on the east coast. The flowers are only ¾” (2cm) long, two flowers on a n 8” (20cm) stem and with only a single spear shaped leaf at ground level. When disturbed, the flowers drop their heads, lift their tails and curl up. This is to trap any pollinating insect inside until released perhaps hours later or even overnight. Because of their small size and drab colouring they are difficult to find. This one and a handful of others in the near vicinity were discovered by accident as I was attempting to photograph a different wildflower. Lucky me! This li’l quacker was photographed in the wild, along the Ocean Drive Fire Trail in the Queen’s Lake Nature Reserve at North Haven, NSW, Australia, on a lovely Spring afternoon, in the company of two friends from the Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club., while on a wildflower hunt. To obtain the angle of shot to isolate the orchid from the background and to be able to get very close to this little flower, I was lying on my left side, resting on my shoulder, with Mr Fuji hand held, viewfinder hard against my glasses and using controlled breathing. The UV Filter was off and the screw-on Macro Lens was on to get as much of the orchid in the frame as possible. To make the shot I chose to go fully manual as previous attempts using aperture priority were giving me big problems with exposure due to the dark flower and the overcast lighting. Pop-up flash is not an option when using the screw-on Macro Lens and I didn’t even think of using my slave flash unit. (If I had, it would have been very hard to use the pop-up flash to set it off so it may not have worked). Fuji S5500: High resolution jpg, Macro Mode, f/2.8 @ 1/160sec, ISO100. / Photoshop CS.

THE SUBJECT: / A Boiga irregularis (Brown Tree Snake) all coiled and ready for action was only centimetres (inches) away from my lens as I crouched down to make this close-up. / Yes it IS poisonous but it is one of the smaller rear fanged varieties of snake so it would not be able to give me a bite. They are a nocturnal species and can become aggressive when disturbed. / [These are the snakes which made their way to Guam during WII and are still causing havoc to that island’s environment.] THE LOCATION: / Once a year the Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club meets up with the local North Coast Herpetological Group for a day of photography and a BBQ. The event is called ‘Snakes Alive!’ / They bring the snakes and lizards, we take photographs for them and then we all have a BBQ. A really great day for all. Our Club President then collects our images on a CD and gives it to their Society. A real mutually beneficial arrangement.

The glowing golden centre and the radiating violet-blue petals belong to a very fine specimen of Nymphaea violacea (Water Lily), a very common Australian native water plant.

This was a great find! Two different species of fungus growing snugly side by side at the bottom of a moss covered fallen log. The little trio are Mycena leaiana and their big brother is a Suillus granulatus, both species being native Aussie fungi . The photograph was made in an old pine plantation in off the Maxwell Flat Road in the Cottan-Bimbang# National Park , between Gingers Creek and Wauchope , NSW, Australia, early on an autumn day. I was on a day trip with a Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club friend who knows the area well and we both spent a good four hours in this plantation photographing the many different varieties of fungi that were on show in some wonderful forest light. #Cottan-Bimbang is the local Aboriginal name for the Linospadix monostachya (Walking Stick Palms) which are very prominent in the area Fuji S9600: RAW, Macro, Manual Priority, Manual focus, f/8 @ 0.77sec, ISO80, Tripod, Timer, Low powered flash. / S7RAW & Photoshop CS.

This fine head study of a Pelecanus conspicillatus (Australian Pelican) , was made along the Fisherman’s Moorings on the Hastings River in Port Macquarie , NSW, Australia, late on an autumn afternoon. As he swam up and down the line of fishermen hoping for a hand-out, he turned on the water to be at a diagonal to the low afternoon sunlight and the light reflected off the ripples in the water, giving this wonderful light and shadow affect along the beak, neck and body.

The glowing golden centre and the radiating violet blue petals belong to a very fine specimen of Nymphaea violacea (Water Lily) , a very common Australian native water plant. The photograph was made as I was sitting on a little jetty over a large pond on the property of a camera club friend at Kundabung , between Kempsey and Port Macquarie , NSW, Australia, on a lovely autumn day. With this particular one I was trying to photograph the interaction of the tiny black Australian stingless native bees (Trigona carbonaria) with the water lily when literally out of the blue, the much larger European honey bee (Apis mellifera) , dropped into shot just before I pressed the shutter.

THE SUBJECT: / A misty, moody Australian bush scene was photographed along an old logging track seems slightly primordial. THE LOCATION: / In the wilds of the Willi Willi National Park , up in the mountains far west of Kempsey, NSW, Australia on a very wet and chilly winter day. / This view in the opposite direction to Into the Mist #2 . THE MAKING of ‘Into the Mist #1’: / I had not realised the difficulty in photographing misty scenes such as this but I soon discovered that even though the light was very low there was still a big problem with the dynamic range. Aperture Priority did not work for me here so I opted for Shutter Priority, 1/60sec being the slowest speed recommended for a hand held shot. With the mist being so close, the resulting f/3.1 kept the background nice and soft. / Even though few photographs were made throughout the day due to the weather and time of year, six of us in two 4WDs had a great day out in the bush communing with nature. / One bloke, who has travelled 250,000Km in such road conditions in his 4WD had never had a mishap until the last two times we were out in the wilds.

THE SUBJECT: / This little girl just happened to look back as I was training my Fuji her way hoping for something to happen. Not much time to make a shot and I was hoping that the vehicular and pedestrian traffic would ease off just long enough. Photographer’s Luck was on my side! / I could not resist the title. THE LOCATION: / My favourite caffeine oasis, the Créma Espresso Bar in Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia has moved from its riverside location to a larger premises in the CBD. While this means the end of my riparian candid photography it also means the beginning of some serious street shots as the new Créma is on a main intersection. / This shot was made while I was sitting at an outdoor table with a Nikon shooting Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club mate.

THE SUBJECT: / This man’s name is Wayne, not Maxwell so forgive the title. I’m an old Beatles fan. / This hard working Smithy is one of a team of five blacksmiths making all the bits ‘n’ pieces for a large stainless steel and copper memorial sculpture for the bushfire victims in Victoria. Here he is making one of the many stainless steel gumnuts required for the work. / Have a close look at the face of the hammer. UPDATE: 4-12-09 / Maxwell, (real name Wayne Saunders), is a true artisan and makes many interesting, decorative and utilitarian items at his forge. / He has just launched his website Ironlord Forge with this photograph on the ‘About’ page. / Check it out! THE LOCATION: / Photographed at the Blacksmith’s forge during the 2009 Timbertown birthday celebrations at Wauchope, NSW, Australia on a great autumn day. THE MAKING of ‘Maxwell’s Silver Hammer #2’: / There was a lot of hammering of red hot metal happening at the anvils but I spent more time with this bloke as he was in a better position than the others in regard to background and lighting and because he was working on smaller objects he was closer to his work. / Even so I still had to use my pop-up flash at half power for a touch of fill and to help knock out the background. / Fuji S9600: RAW, 1/50sec @ f/3.8, ISO80, Auto focus, Hand held. / Lightroom 1.1 & Photoshop CS3.
