My four entries for APPA in 2017. I didn’t have four that I was happy enough with in 2016 but enjoyed entering these. And three of four were awarded silver awards but, as so often seems the case, the one that I worked on the most, the Bolte Bridge image, Read more…
In July, Donna and I took a break and spent a week in Brisbane. Met up with a friend, saw the Marvel exhibition at QAGOMA and found a local, favourite place to eat. And wandering Brisbane provided many photographic opportunities.
An odd numbered year is always a good thing; Avalon Airshow! The stand-out item, again, was the pride the American Airforce ground crew show in their work. It is great to see and really does indicate a level of professionalism and team work.
In January and February 2017 Peter, Jill, Donna and I embarked out on a tour to see Bruce Springsteen perform. Five concerts in three cities, Perth, Adelaide and Melbourne. It was a great trip with good company and many enjoyable concerts and a chance to get out and see a Read more…
And, to finish up on 2016, part 2
And now it really has been a long time between posts. But time to get back and posting again. I’m sure it’s no surprise that the photographs have continued in the intervening space of time, sometimes more, sometimes not as much. But to get the ball rolling, and to get Read more…

Time for a holiday and a great get-away. Thailand was a great country to visit. May/June, the shoulder season, leading up to monsoon, it was hot and very humid but we enjoyed our time and now look to visit the north of Thailand in the future. Three days in Bangkok Read more…
It’s that time of the year, that occurs every second year, the Avalon International Air Show 🙂 A cloudy day which did not do much for shooting the flight demonstrations but the static displays, as is my inclination, worked very well. I spent the day shooting with Peter Myers, who Read more…
During the holidays I got away for a ride on the motorbike and spend the afternoon poking around the industrial area of North Shore, just outside of Geelong. My kind of area and will be out again soon.
While in Sydney for the AIPP APPAs, I was able to spend a couple of evenings strolling the night streets of Sydney, shhoting after dark. I normally shoot with a Nikon D700, chosen for it’s low noise capability, but on the second night out I was lucky enugh to be Read more…
