Once the image has been taken

As most of us have experienced, randomly turning up to a beautiful spot, lifting the camera and taking the shot rarely results in to an image that represents the beauty and scale of what you saw with your eyes.

The same goes for printing, monitors have to be calibrated, profiles need to be created for different types of papers and inks to re-create what you see on screen.

I print on Epson printers using Ilford paper for small runs and prints up to A3+. For larger runs and larger prints I use a professional lab that is also calibrated to my monitors.

Then I hand check the print carefully for any inconsistencies. The result is a print that will last for years and retains the essence of what I was capturing at the time.

To learn the basics of composition and camera settings I have some simple tutorials to help.

The Final Frontier

Thought I would try something different, I took this image from my backyard! It was taken with my standard SLR and a standard zoom lens (200mm). I think im going to enjoy these sort of images so stay tuned for more. :)

Photographing Dunsborough South West WA

Day 1, Friday 8th April

I'm up early to get into Dunsborough to photograph the Charity Golf Day for Prostate Cancer Research, which was great, apart from getting sunburnt. Friday finished off with a dinner and Auction (including 10 of my images), a long and productive day.

Day 2, Saturday 9th April

Up early again! 5am to catch a sunrise, its hard getting up but once I've reached the spot scouted on a previous visit, the camera's set up and the sky's starting to light up, I realise this is the best time of the day. I take several shots of different compositions, the colours are awesome. The window for the best light this morning was only 2-3mins.

Off to breakfast, first customer of the day.

I spend the rest of the day scouting for an image that night and an image for Sunday morning. I end up shooting the popular Sugar Loaf Rock for the sunset image (will be on website within the week) The following image was taken at dawn.

Day 3, Sunday 10th April

Another 5am start, off to my last location for the weekend. Again I have a window of about 2-3mins for the best light. I found this great composition with the rock almost creating a path which created a great leading line and again mother nature provided the cloud and colours.

I love it!

My next planned trip will be to the Stirling Range WA.

The Grey Kangaroo

The Kangaroo can be found anywhere in WA where there is bush. This shot was taken against the back-light of the morning sun in Yanchep.
