Sanitising our hands is an imperative during the Covid19 Pandemic.

Using an arch to frame the Pyramide helps to focus the viewers attention on this incredible iconic location made of glass.

One definition of 'opposites' is 'facing each other'. I was privileged to be given time with this talented young ballet dancer wh

This abandoned Jetty is in Weir's Cove on Kangaroo Island off the South Australian Coast and i think there is beauty in its decay and location.

Erin's hands frame her beautiful freckled face.

Instead of shooting this Grevillea flower side as most do I chose to shoot head-on looking directly down the flower to emphasise the Fibonacci structu

Una and the Kodak Box Brownie. I used this same camera when I first started shooting in about 1958.

I decided that Black and White was best to show this back lit industrial skyline to best effect.

This is the road to Pennenshaw on Kangaroo Island in South Australia where these beautiful trees line and bend over to lead us on.

My daughter who was a first time model in this shot and who did a great job. I used moody lighting to accentuate muscles and create a boudoir feel.

A traditional scarf on Aussie-Indian Model Ash brings out the best in her beautiful eyes.

I love rusty old abandoned cars! This one was on a property near Junee in NSW.

I shot this in Yellow Waters Billabong in Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory of Australia last month. It was very tricky! These guys move

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at the Royal Canberra Show.

Time

2:18pm

Lighting

Lighting is totally natural but is softer than if it was outside as the machine was under a market stall type of canopy

Equipment

Olympus EM1 Mk2 handheld with Olympus 12-100 f/4 tele @75mm f/8 1/13s ISO800

Inspiration

I am always on the lookout for great coffee making shots. As a coffee lover I find the equipment and process very attractive to all our senses. The look of it, the textures and shiny surfaces, shapes and the smell of the ground beans. In this case I enjoyed that it was the two shot glasses and not a large cup or takeaway container.

Editing

Yes. I always shoot in Camera Raw so my first stop is Raw in Photoshop. Here I make basic adjustments and keep it minimal. Small changes to Exposure, Contrast, Highlights, Shadows, Whites and Blacks and Vibrance. Then I move in to PScc and again make minimal adjustments. Crop, noise reduction with Topaz AI, sharpen with Unsharp Mask, and apply a subtle vignette using a curves layer and a brush at 30%

In my camera bag

Olympus EM1x and EM1 Mk2 bodies. The lenses depend on what I am shooting. For travel, landscape and street I use the Olympus 12-100; for macro the Olympus 60mm; for very wide landscape shots I will carry the Olympus 12mm prime and teh 7-14mm Olympus tele. For wildlife in the field I use the Olympus 300mm with MC-14 and MC-20 extenders. But in the Zoo or where animals or birds are closer I will carry the Panasonic Leica 100-400mm tele which I love. I also carry on camera flash, spare batteries and cards, headlamps and ND and PL filters.

Feedback

Trade shows or markets are great for photography but you have to have a great eye. Practice seeing shots in everything people are doing - especially where the food is. Look for interesting compositions, colours, textures, shapes and surfaces. Look for great light and if necessary use an on camera flash to fill shadows where needed. If people are working ask permission - they are usually flattered you are asking.
