This is from earlier this year on sunrise at Taroona, Tasmania which is very close to the small city of Hobart. Probably one of my favourite spots for sunrise shots in Hobart, a nice beach and faces in a good direction for the sunrise.

Urrrrrrrrrrban exploration or urbex is something I enjoy, it’s so fiddly to get the light just how you want it which leaves me feeling I can re-shoot the same location over and over until it’s captured just how I want it. This was just an hour or so ago, unfortunately my torch died which killed the shoot and my mobile phone had to be used as a light source to navigate home, yeah that sucked. Anyhow this is beneath the gigantic city of Hobart cool huh?

Edit: A recent incident in Brisbane has left one man dead and another just surviving after visiting a similar underground like location during a storm. It’s on this note I just want to reiterate that when it rains, no drains but also my condolences to the family of the individual. If you have any questions about exploring such locations and are unsure about anything please get in touch with me as I may be able to offer assistance or direct you to people who live in your state who can show you around but also have experience.

My wordpress is still acting up when I try to embed images in both firefox and internet explorer but I saved this one in my drafts last week. This is shot nearby where I live in Lindisfarne, Tasmania a quiet little place.

Getting your work stolen is weird, so disappointing that people have no respect and are more then happy to claim as their own. Yet the individual had my work deleted from their gallery however remains a member on DeviantArt. In my view they should be banned, stealing 50 images from a range of photographers and claiming them is ridiculious and should not be welcomed on any artistic community. But then again deviantart is a funny place. But anyway I really don’t understand how people get any satisfaction out of this? At the end of the day you’re only cheating yourself.

Just something a little different to waterscapes for once.

I’ve been dying to shoot lately but with other commitments I’ve been too busy to drive for hours for sunsets or sunrises. So over the last few days I’ve just been snapping around my little city of Hobart during the day with a Hoya R72 infrared filter then converting to black and white.

Initially I was going to submit these individually but feel they stand better in a group. As I mentioned an infrared filter was used and most shots were of varying 3-7 minute exposures at F11-18.

One from Park Beach, Tasmania just around a hour out of the city of Hobart. I really don’t have anything much to say other then the new 5D Mark II 22 megapixel sensor is making my 350D 8MP sensor look very inferior. Is anyone upgrading?

A shot from this evening where it was cold and windy, not nice conditions to be shooting in but I got some interesting shots which made it worth it. I think this was originally going to be exposed for 7 minutes however I had to cut it short to a little over 5 minutes as there were strange people in the carpark near by little civic but all was ok.

A long exposure shot from the beginning of the year on a nice summer evening. I really can’t wait for summer, it’s so cold at the moment argh.

Clifton Beach, Tasmania not so long ago.

I’ve recently been playing around with the Adobe Camera profiles beta (http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/DNG_Profiles) and quite liked what the slight adjustment did to this test image. As per usual shot with a Canon 350D, Canon 10-22, Cokin ND grads Z-Pro and tripod.

Just after exams when I wanted to make the most of my free time.

This was shot at Taroona, Tasmania with a Canon 350D and Canon 10-22 just as the sun had come up.
