Panoramic Photography_An Alternative Approach

I’m sure most folks think of panoramic photography as being ultra-wide representations of grand vistas and, while I’ve made my fair share, I also enjoy taking a slightly unusual approach when working with a panoramic camera. When the scene allows it, as in the case of a waterfall, a vertical (portrait) orientation is an interesting [...]

Photography in the Mist

 
Photographing in the mist can be a fun and exciting experience. The air, heavy with moisture, seems to pervade and encroach around you and your sense of space seems to be diminished. I’d even go so far to say that time seems to move more slowly. Perhaps that’s because you’re more aware of where you [...]

Low Light Photography_Erskine Falls

 
I made this image on Saturday afternoon while leading a Landscape Photography Workshop near Lorne on the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia. This particular image features Erskine Falls, around 9 km inland from Lorne in the Great Otway National Park. It’s a lovely, peaceful spot around 200 meters descent, down a fairly steep staircase, [...]

Creative Exposure

 
Here’s the second of two images of a wood fire from a recent photography workshop I was running in Central Victoria. You’d remember yesterday’s post, titled Controlling Exposure, which featured a more straightforward approach to photographing the subject in question. In the production of today’s image I was able to try a more creative approach.
During [...]

Controlling Exposure

 
Here’s an image made last Saturday night at a photographic workshop I was running in Central Victoria. Following on from a wonderful dinner, prepared by my good friend Joseph, I had a few minutes to play prior to the evening session.
This image is a fairly straightforward shot of the wonderful wood fire that helped provide [...]

Horses at Night_Chewton_Central Victoria

 
Greetings and salutations! This image was made last weekend during a photography workshop I was running in Central Victoria. I found myself with a few minutes up my sleeve between our sunset location and dinner. Overtime I’ve introduced myself to these two beautiful horses and they often amble up for a few tasty (vegetarian) treats [...]

White Balance Options in the Landscape

 
Sorry folks,
I’ve been a bit under the weather over recent times which, together with a crippling work load, mean that I’ll have to complete this post with another pic and explanatory text tomorrow.
 
Sorry for any inconvenience,
 
Glenn

Mixed Light Sources

 
I hope you like this shot. I certainly had fun making it. It was well after sunset on a very cold evening near Harcourt in Central Victoria. I had just finished day one of a two-day workshop in the area and, prior to heading back to base for a well earned dinner, I decided to [...]

Backlit Still Life

 
Here’s a still life detail of a bottle of olive oil photographed, on the dinning room table, just prior to lunch being served during a recent photography workshop I was running in country Victoria. Illumination is provided by window light shining directly through the back of the bottle. I made use of some aluminium foil [...]

Polarising Filters_Don’t Leave Home Without One

 
Here’s an interesting image made at The Beeches, prior to the recent horrific bushfires, near Marysville in Victoria. I found this lovely little grove on a walk with my photographer friend, David. The backlighting passed through some of the leaves and illuminated patches of ferns throughout the scene. This provided a great contrast with the [...]
