A photo of the Bamberg Bridge in Bamberg, Germany. I shot this photo and many others with my Nikon D70s in July/2007.
This is a wonderful photo taken fron a lookout point in the Austria Alps. I pulled over and took a picture of the beautiful lake. The image was taken with my Nikon D70s and a 28-80mm lens.
This is from the first time I went to Europe, in England. We had gone into town to do some shopping.

Europe is a big place. Not only is it big, but it can also be jam-packed full of tourists, much like myself, marvelling at buildings and scenery that countries like Australia can only dream of. This is not to say that Australia is boring by comparison. Far from it, I think Australia has it’s own very unique culture that few countries can match, but it still lacks the history of European countries. For example, Prague. Located in the Czech Republic, it has been untouched by war time bombings, and as such has been virtually frozen in time. It is not uncommon to see buildings more than 500 years old! The challenge for me, therefore, was to go beyond the normal touristy shots and self-portraits to create something a bit different. Whether or not I have achieved this goal is really up to the observer. For the most part, this really meant finding a different angle of things – something really difficult in a crowded area. Other times, it was getting the right lighting. Mostly, in reality it was probably just a lot of luck. As I keep uploading what I think to be the stand outs from my collection, feel free to let me know how you think I went. Another observation I made while travelling was how comfortable people were with DSLRs. I don’t know about you, but sometimes when I point a decently sized camera at any crowds here in Melbourne, I get a often get a death stare that would probably make even Chuck Norris turn and run for the hills. I don’t know whether it is just the size of the tourism industry or what, but I found most people seemed to not care in the slightest who was taking their photo in Europe. What disturbed me a little though was the sheer number of DSLRs in use, mostly in full auto mode. The assumption and marketing hype that a good camera will take good pictures is absurd. A good camera will only improve your shots if you set it up right. Or, to borrow a phrase, “it’s not the size, but how you use it that counts”. On the flip side, there was a ridiculous number of people who asked my to take their photo, simply based on the fact that I was carrying a DSLR. As one very American guy bluntly put it “you have a good camera, so you must know how to take a good photo, right?” I’m going to go with that as being a compliment… In all, I learnt a lot about my own photography from this trip. At times I think I enjoyed the photography more than some of the locations! But mostly what I have been inspired to do is to make more of an effort to take the Camera out more while at home. Usually it sits on the shelf gathering dust until the next big thing. After this amazing experience this will no longer be the case.
