Take More Photos

Simple enough advice. There are three reasons we stop ourselves from shooting more frames as we travel than we might otherwise. When you look more closely there is usually just one reason, and it can make a big difference to how quickly you develop your craft.

Really Photos

Nothing is as satisfying as seeing your photos printed on paper. They become real. Really real.

Viltrox 28mm F4.5 CHIP for L-Mount

The fascinating and quirky Viltrox 28mm F2.5 CHIP has now been released for L-mount. This is a super small lens that pairs well with super small camera bodies such as the Lumix S9 and Sigma BF.

I made a video this month especially for beginners who are looking for guidance as they find their way onto a path to learning photography. We're not talking cameras, and that's kind of the point.

Why We Take Photos

On a journey through the wide open spaces of South Australia and the Outback, I am reminded of why we take photos and how lucky we are to be able to share the beauty of the world.

Blurb Restores Photography to Reality

Blurb has been a wonderful development for me because now I can see more of my photographic expression converted to the printed media for which cameras were originally intended.

DxO PhotoLab Discount Code

I posted a video about getting away from subscription pricing with Adobe and Capture One, so the folks at DxO reached out to offer a discount code to my readers :)

Half The Job

Taking a photo is only half the job. The other half is editing them. Join me on a visit to temples in the Annapurna Ranges and a chat about the creative potential and learning potential when editing your RAW files.

25 Years Later

I started my photographic career 25 years ago. My plan wasn’t so much “to become a freelancer”, it was simply to avoid getting a real job. Every year I didn’t have to go back to the office was a win.

See What I See

Introducing my new series of streaming videos you can enjoy at home, and see what I see after taking a walk in the park with camera in hand. See what I see as I walk through the images on my desktop and extract precious moments from the RAW files.
