Canon 400D Long Exposure – 10 Months in the Making…
Thanks, Covid… It’s been ten months since I have been out sight seeing and happy snapping, partly due to lockdown, partly due to work being absolutely flat out, and partly due to being reluctant once the great state of Victoria finally opened up, to actually go out… But on Saturday afternoon, we decided to hit …
Trip to San Remo & Phillip Island (again) March 2020
So 2020 has had a very busy and full on start to the year for us and so many around us – I mean, it’s only the first week of March and it feels like its been a year since I have a holiday!! Melissa and her Groupon magic to the rescue – again! So …
Long Exposure | First Solo Shots After Professional Training!
So after my crash course in long exposure photography using ND filters, I decided to give it a crack – this time instead of sunset, let’s try sunrise – which for me is pretty early to no only be out of bed, but also dressed and on location – on a weekend mind you! I …
Beach Pix | Long Exposure Photography Short Course | We Are Raw Photography
So, I was just perusing Facebook to see what people were up to – you know, that bi-weekly scroll… when I stumbled upon an ad for a short course in long exposure photography using ND filters during the daytime, I opened the ad and loved the pictures I was seeing. I look at the dates, …
Beach Pics | Princes Pier, Melbourne – 1st Visit
So a while back I saw some amazing pictures on Instagram of what appeared to be the remains of an old pier – all that was sticking out of the water was the old support posts that had since been chopped. The pictures were long exposure to get that smooth, mirror-like appearance of the water. …
Beach Pix | Grantville VIC |2019-10-30
So it was nearly the end of the working day, I’m in north Melbourne, and Melissa sends me a message to see when I will be home – everyone wants to go to the beach. We decided that by the time everyone was home, we realistically had a couple of hours daylight left, so we …
Moe visits us from Japan in 2019
Melissa and I have had two Japanese exchange students in 2011 and 2012. In 2011, our first was Megumi, and in 2012 we had Moe (pronounced Moy) come to stay with us for three months each. Just imagine that – as a student, being required to travel to a foreign country for three months, speak …
Trip to San Remo & Phillip Island – Revisiting the Canon 400D
So it’s been months since I took out the Canon 400D DSLR camera and actually took some photos, but is been around 7 years since my wife and I actually went on a holiday together without anyone else (yes, excluding the kids on a holiday!) Seven years is far too long and we have been …
ND Filter Slides On The Cheap!
So I saw a couple of really cool looking pictures on Instagram that were of water landscapes with long exposure times to get that mirror water effect, but during the day! I thought to myself, damn! (pun-intended)… These guys must have some really good & dark ND filters on their cameras! For those of you …
Street Photography | Hosier Lane, Melbourne Australia
I love taking a stroll through the streets of Melbourne – especially in the areas that are artistic in their appearance – whether they were designed to be artistic or just matured into something beautiful… Hosier Lane is no exception – cobble stone walk way which looks amazing when wet from the rains. The walls …
