LUMIX G9II for Birds

Lets walk through a host of features built into LUMIX G9II that might help you to take better bird photos. We'll go through burst modes, pre-shudders, autofocus setups, and a few extra treats. There’s even a downloadable camera setup to help you get started and use the same settings that I have.



Birds Are Hard

Bird photography is hard because birds don't like humans most of the time. This is not so much a technical challenge, but one of finding your path to connect with nature. Let's delve into the art of walking around park and being snubbed by the birds.



Always Winter Light

The winter light is always changing. That’s what I love most about it. I love that it’s low on the horizon. I love that it’s softer and gentler than the burning light of summer. And I love that it moves so quickly, giving glimpses of gold in between the greys. Winter light is my favourite light.



 

Sigma 28-105mm F2.8 DG DN ART

I’ve had a chance to shoot with the new Sigma 28-105mm F2.8 DG DN Art over recent weeks, and explore the light and shadows on Melbourne's streets. This is not a one-size-fits-all lens, but a very professional mid-range zoom that delivers a bright and contrasty image.



Auroras vs Shorts

I'll never forget that night standing out in my shorts and capturing auroras. I never expected that to happen in my home state of Victoria. And it's given me that hunger to get back to Arctic Norway and chase some serious photography.



Custom Setup for the LUMIX S9

Download my custom setup for the LUMIX S9, along with a very full range of custom configurations directly available through the mode dial. Updated in October 2024 for Firmware V1.1.

Momo Time

Novice monks in Nepal usually get two or three servings of Dhal Bhat every day, or some varition on that. Lots of rice, lots of chillies, lots of lentils. Every so often there's a special occasion, and the momos come out.

Melbourne in Monochrome

This winter I've been working on a few local projects, and spending a little more time on the streets where I live. The winter light is my favourite light, full of texture and drama yet soft and dynamic. It's my favourite time of year to be in Melbourne.

Fire and Water

Surrounded by stunning snow-capped peaks the pilgrims route to Muktinath is followed by devout Hindus from all over Nepal and India. They gather on the shores of the Kali Gandaki to make offerings and prayers, before heading higher into the mountains and the holy temples at Muktinath.

Bhakatpur in Gold

This week in Nepal the festival of Dashain is gathering pace, and the streets of Bhaktapur are awash with offerings to the gods. It's a deeply religious Hindu holiday and even some of the blokes get dressed up nice for the event.

Why is Mastodon such a big deal?

A revolutionary social media protocal that offers decentralised networking and mentla health safe guards. Mastodon is part of the Fediverse, where thousands of servers are able to connect and share and define standards for their users. It's far more democratic, and it's all about building a community instead of an audience.

We Made A Cookbook

My craft is photography. Mostly I capture images for someone else. Their brand, their book, their magazine, their story. It's the same for my wife, Shellie, who is also a photographer and stylist and recipe developer. Together we've been able to make something for ourselves and we hope something that everybody else will love as much as we do.
