Passing through Midway Point recently, I noticed a jetty that I photographed last April had been pulled down. As I’m always on the look out for old jetties to photograph, I came back a few days later on a wet evening. Standing ankle deep in water this is a 5 minute exposure at f.10.

As more and more photographers post their shots online, it becomes harder to find emerging talented photographers worth watching.  I’ve compiled a list of some of my favourite photographers who inspire me with their amazing work. All images are linked to the rest of the photographers gallery.

Star jumps are cool okay? Looking through some old photos I came across these. They’re mostly taken whilst waiting for the sunset/sunrise.  Jetstar if you’re reading this and need a new starjumper I’m your man.

Excuse the vain post.

Heck! But that’s just pocket change for you right?

You have to be able to observe life as if you were a camera all the time, constantly looking at light and the way that things are placed and the way people hold themselves. You need the ability to see something in someone or something that no one else really sees and be able to bring that to light. Basically, you have to be an obsessive crazy person.

It’s fair to say 2009 was the year of the long exposures for me. I’ve had a lot of fun with the Canon 5D Mark II and B+W 110 filter over the year and looking back am surprised how many photographs I actually took.

I hope 2009 was a good year for your photography!
