Namibia – Portraits
Note: Please click on theses images to view them full-size… they go a bit fuzzy when reduced down. On my trip to Namibia there were three genres that I wanted to photograph; Ruinscapes (Kolmanskop etc.) Landscapes (Deadvlei, Wolverdens etc.) Portraits I was particularly excited at the prospect of spending five days living with and photographing the Himba tribes of NorthWest …
Read MoreKolmanskop – Disneyland for photographers
My Namibian trip is going sensational so far…. Unbelievable landscapes. Yesterday I spent hours photographing the ghost town of Kolmanskop. I can only describe it as Disneyland for photographers if you like photographing old stuff, abstracts etc. It is SO MUCH FUN. Not much bandwidth, so I’m keeping my post brief.

Hey for those of you that follow my blog, I apologise for my absence. I just looked and it has been about 3 months since I have posted. I have had a bunch of crap going on at work.

Read MoreWhen Is The Best Time To Shoot Landscape?
So last week I was in Nevada and I went to check out Death Valley. I scouted out Zabriske Point at Death Valley and planned the pano you see above. It’s a pretty obvious shot of the location.

Read MoreEven Christian Could Nail Focus With this!
Hey check this out… this is very interesting. A camera that doesn’t rely on focus. Doesn’t sound like a scam, sounds like the real deal. If this is the case, it’s one of the biggest leaps forward in photography in a long time. http://mashable.com/2011/06/22/lytro/ Brent
Read MorePlaying About With Macro
We have had about a week of pretty constant rain here in Sydney, so that drove me into the bowels of my photographic cupboard to dust of my macro lens.
