How to carry out a geographic magazine assignment – Part 3 – Approaching people

Reading Time: 4 minutesEven when I’m in that high vibrational state, where I feel at one with   the environment and where the art of photography seems like innate intuition, it’s not. It’s like driving a car: you can cruise on auto-pilot but that’s only because you’ve put in many miles of experience behind the wheel. Photography only […]

Photo Detective Challenge – How was this “shot” taken?

Reading Time: 2 minutesI only recently installed MacOS Catalina, even though it was released 7 months ago. Apple as usual, uses a stunning landscape photo of a California landmark for the wallpaper.

An artful life: Scotland Island, Sydney

Reading Time: < 1 minuteI photographed an article for Australian Geographic recently and it’s now also online. If you don’t have a subscription to the Australian Geographic newsletter, you can  see it here. Give a thought to the lead picture which is an overview of Scotland Island on a sparkling summer day.

Waterfall Trickery

Reading Time: < 1 minuteIt’s great when you learn from your students. The last Day Safari workshop was a big fun day out. We shot wildlife in the morning and waterfalls in the late afternoon. Participants quickly understood how to use different shutter speeds to create various amounts of “silkiness” in the waterfall.  But my students taught me something
