These are just some simple images created for a club competition. First and/or last light of the day. As I have not made the attempts to really be out and about at these times of late, I had to delve into some of my archives. Creative edits are always fun to do. It is my […]
I really do like the effect of charcoal on some of the photographs. Monochrome of course aids in the overall effect. From simple pretty non-descript images there is always an art piece beckoning. Both of these would look fabulous printed in large on a canvas. The Giant Old Tree Captured at the Cairns Botanic Garden […]
Sometimes I like to create images with a positive and negative appeal. Here are just some simple small tree trunks that were silhouetted in an early morning glow. With simple blend modes, extending the canvas and flipping and mirroring the image this is what eventuated. It is a joy to create something from an otherwise pretty […]

Too many blue skies, too much sunshine, too much heat. Every little nook and cranny in the garden that graces […]
Just headed down to a friend’s place and we decided to go for a walk to her creek. Armed with tripod and our cameras we tracked down slippery sodden tracks. Stood in the most refreshing cool waters. Even with the heaviest of tripods well and truly embedded into the creek beds there was some camera […]
A weekend at Mareeba Wetlands with like minded people. It was fun, from light photography, slow shutter work, predawn and a lot of other photography. Did not have a lens long enough to do any ornithological photography.
