Well I finally have done what I have been wanting to do for a long time. I purchased a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTI 10.1 MP. I have been wanting a full Digital SLR camera for a very long time. It is my very first one. I currently own the Canon Powershot S3 but it was limiting me way to much. / I also purchased a killer lens. / The Sigma Zoom Telephoto 70-300mm f/4-5.6 APO DG Macro Autofocus Lens So hopefully soon I will be uploading some new work. Sorry to say I have not bought the IR filter yet. / Also on Friday I am beginning my first class as a member of / The Cleveland Photographic Society Its a class that meets every week for learning and competitions. / Also do field trips. I would like to thank everyone on this site for inspiring me to get more involved with Photography.
A small fragment of a building in downtown Buenos Aries as I strolled aroung the city with a small SLR camera loaded with HP5 B/W film. The colonial influence on the architecture in Buenos Aries is pronouced and very beautiful and and the contrast between that and the vast shanty towns outside the city make it somehow bittersweet. Film just seemed to be the correct answer to this particular place.
Another striking colonial building in downtown Buenos Aries. Shot with film on a very hot and bright cloudless morning. I’ve left it deliberately stark to accentuate the form and graceful lines of this beautiful building. I’ve rendered as a dark sepia to indicate a sense of the timewarp sensation I had while wandering the streets of this faded belle of a city.
Not all the buildings that caught my eye in Buenos Aries were graceful colonial structures. Some were from the more immediate past like this sixties post modern apartment structure. This is were the relatively well off live in this teeming city. Close to the city and safley removed from the sprawling shantytowns were the numberless poor live. And I mean really really poor people. The poor here in Australia live like kings compared to their counterparts in South America. Anyway this image has also been shot with film and post processed to give it the nostalgic atmosphere of a place lost in time and struggling with the idea of
I travelled through Buenos Aries recently on my way to Antarctica and I took a pretty eclectic range of camera’s with me. One of them was a little Russian Lomo which is a small failed spy camera much loved by artist/photographers everywere for its strange effects. Anyway it didn’t perform so well in the real cold but I took some interesting shots with it on my first day in Argentina. This one is of a very very tall and narrow building in the downtown area of the city. Shot with Iford HP5 and with minimal post production.
One of the last images that I’m going to upload in this little lomo agentina series.. Slowly I’m moving my way down south to Antarctica and will start posting some shots of that extraordinary landscape reasonably soon. :) This shot of the charming old balconies was taken in the centre of Buenos Aries with a tiny 35mm Russian Lomo using Ilford HP6.
This picture of a lovely laughing child was taken some years ago now while I was driving out from Meekathara in the WA central desert on my way towards the Gun Barrel Highway. At a tiny camp called Wiluna I stopped to look for some art and come across this family sitting in their car in the shade. This child’s sweet face has stayed with me all this time but today, this momentus day, is the first time I’ve felt like I could display it. Little Debbie and her family are impoverished by anyones standard but they clearly have love and strong family bonds. This child represents what we that is we white Australians are saying sorry for. Sorry that we couldn’t see value in our fellow Australians. The first settlers here in this wide brown land. Sorry that we took little children away from their family and their country and people. Only a relatively short time ago this child and her mother would have fled at my approach fearing my whiteness and the dreadful things we whites perpetrated upon them in the name of the law. So from the bottom of my heart Debbie I would like to say Sorry. Sorry Sorry indeed I am very sorry. And I hope that now we can all go on together in peace and trust and mutal respect. For all the little Debbie’s white and black and brown and pink and yellow lets all step forward together hand in hand and welcome whatever it is that comes next….....
Me taking a photo of me and my Canon 300D in my Subaru wagon’s mirror at Apollo Bay earlier this year. Hoping to get a Canon 40D in the next couple of months after Kevin gives me my tax back! As you can see I was/am a big fan of Lance Armstrong and watched all of his 7 tour wins unfold late at night. My tip for this year’s tour is Cadel, who else? Colour was desaturated in Lightroom and then desaturated the remaining yellow parts in Photoshop, enjoy!
Classic 50mm lens for slr cameras.

/ I wouldn’t like to feed the photographers for which this photo is the plain and simple truth. Another instalment in my Nostalgia series although a little different then usual in the set-up. It’s a lot simpler a composition then most of my work, but let me assure you, it was so much harder to get right! Shot with my relatively new Pentax K10D and a very old Pentax-A 1:1.7 50mm objective. You can read all about the technique used in this tutorial more work / the calendar / preview / “Forgotten” was sold as a Medium mounted print to an anonymous buyer. Thank you! “Forgotten” is also freely downloadable as a wallpaper to decorate your desktop.
/ This bronze Nikon Nikkormat camera sits at the side of a fountain in a square just off Shad Thames in Butler’s Wharf near Tower Bridge. How’s that for an address! / I don’t know whether this is made entirely of bronze or just been dipped in bronze. It does seem rather detailed. / There is sits, at the side of the fountain along with some bronze books and bronze ballet-shoes, gathering verdigris.

My First Sunset with my new camera.
documenting a day in a life of a photographer…..lol Im sure many of you can relate to this :P she obviously observed me quite a bit…and a while back she has claimed my little spare tripod that i used to mount my flash on….it is now full of stickers (her trademark of course) and she ‘mounted’ her hello kitty camera on top (when i say “MOUNTED” that means held together with a piece of hair tie LOL) Check out the picture i took of her from my camera along with her so called “equipment” here NOTE: for Nikon DSLR group, this shot was taken with a Nikon D300 and Tamron 17-50mm lens. The Nikon camera in the picture mounted on the tripod is a Nikon D80 with a 50mm lens.
New title ideas anybody? Canon 450D / F-stop: 4.5 (-0.3 exposure bias) / Exposure time: 1/25 sec. / ISO-speed: 200 / Focal length: 30mm Cross-processed on photoshop CS3 and I added some noise. Oh yeah, nooise. Basically, I was like, hitting walls all over the place – metaphorically and physically – so my dear Andy set me a challenge to take a self-portrait of myself using one prop (I kinda pushed that a bit..) that reflected how I felt. / I think I like it. / Can I point out that the focus on my face in the negative was deliberate and not a fluke? Quite pleased about that. / A friend thinks this is just TOO out of focus, but I originally thought that just reflected how out of focus I felt. Help me out here – what do you think?

As most of my friends know, these days I shoot with a Sony a350 DSLR. However in the days of film, my tools of choice were manual Minoltas. And I have been collecting them since… Several of the ones you see here have been in active use in my hands over the years, and some I’ve just bought (and am still buying…) to complete the series. Some of them have particular significance… The first SLR camera I bought with my own money was the XG-M and the best quality camera that I ever owned (bar none!) was the XD-11. Probably the rarest in this set is the XK. The 5D is the odd-one out in the series as it was my first digital but it has a token place here as my first DSLR and the precursor to the Sony that I use today, since Sony bought Konica-Minolta. So in this family portrait is my collection. Top to bottom, left to right: / SR-1, SR-7, SRT101, SR-T Super, XK, XE-7, XD11, XG-M, X-700, Dynax 7000i, alpha-9xi, Dynax 5D [Collage of multiple shots]
This shot of my old Praktica camera was taken with my dslr back up Samsung GX10 through my 60 year old vintage Kodak Brownie Reflex… Art imitating art imitating art? :) Gave the local beach walkers something to ponder over as they passed by anyways ;) More Through the Viewfinder (TtV) Images
