Details are in this exhibition programme page (opening night 6pm Friday 1 June…[Read more]

Just checked out the Sony Nex-7 and the Olympus Om-D, cant decide which way to go, both very nice, both about the same price (with om-d grip – needed). sony has larger sensor, om-d has more lenses etc. Anyone else had a look at these too?

This link is to a direct comparison. The answer lies with the lenses rather than the camera. Which system has the lenses your after, sharpest optics… etc… I have put a fair bit of work into comparing these two, and I can’t find the glass I want in the Sony…[Read more]

Light light light… 1 month, 2 weeks agoIf you want to see some good examples, check out long time photographer Peter Solness’s work. I know severall photographers who have attended his workshops and have been enthralled. Some of his images are beautiful & captivating, however I find others (like tracing around Aboriginal art carvings) to be gimmicky. Check him out here:

Critiques 1 month, 3 weeks agoManaged some aerial shooting on the weekend in a trike so open to elements no canopy distortion or tinting yaya!!
I really like the tree/river diptych – the other 2 diptychs I am not as inspired by but include them for comment regardless. . .;))
-
Master Class here…
(Nicole, Thea and Len)We unanimously found the first images of the river and the tree captured our attention.
In the first diptych we thought the dark center a little distracting and wondered what they would be like if swapped over
so that the dark edges were on the outside of the frames / pictures to hold the eye into…[Read more]

This post belongs in the “Photographers worth looking at” group, but my profile doesn’t seem to allow me to post anything in any of the groups to which I belong, except the “Critiques” group (I’ve tried different browsers, clearing browser caches, etc….all to no avail). So I’m posting this in the general post area.
I’ve listed this…[Read more]

The art of portraiture photography 2 months, 1 week agomy portraiture experience is very limited – usually only to special occasions & mostly my very obliging niece & her children. . .I have no real lighting experience so pretty much just go with the flow! Took these as part of a belly shoot last week with a very ‘clingy 2 year old stealing the show!

Critiques 2 months, 2 weeks agoI cant decide which is better, the tall one is obviously more worked but do the diamonds i have brought out add or detract (can you even tell)?
-
Ben, my preference is for the first one. The ”triangles” are already a prominant part of the foreground and don’t really need any enhancing, and the tight vertical crop on the second one leaves me longing for a bit more width to put the shot into context – my 2 cents. Regards, Geoff
-
I am leaning towards the second one… hmmm… i think i prefer the gentler processing of the first one though… I think it is the huge square that I love the most about the second one… the first one has a different subject to the second one.. so in your contemplation think about what the subject is that you wish to talk about with your…[Read more]

wow!
Now without looking at them large I originally preferred the 1st one but when I looked at the them at the max size available the 2nd one really popped out!!
why ? perhaps because the attention is more tightly focused on the textural detail in those foreground rocks in 2nd, rather than the sheer expanse of scene in the first. . ?? -
I prefer the 1st one as I find myself exploring the image more in the foreground because there is more of it and so more lines to follow around.
In the second one I find the foreground more confronting as its darker and more defined, plus your pulled thru the image quickly – is my feeling.
Great image.
