Daily Carry (52 images)

As much as I love seascape photography, I sometimes worry of becoming repetitive. Lately I’ve been making an effort to carry my camera with me more when I go out to mix things up a little. I’m not chasing brilliant photographs but just capturing things that interest me in my day to day travels. Photographing for me without much care for what anyone else thinks.

This is a selection of seascape, street, portrait and other random photography from Hobart and Melbourne. All are shot with a Canon 5D Mark II, Canon 17-40, Canon 24-70, Canon 50 1.4 and on ocacsion a B+W 110 neutral density filter and alienbee lights for some portrait shots.

Sorry about the image overload 😉

Photoshop CS5 Curves Tutorial

A quick tutorial using Adobe Photoshop CS5 on how to remove colour cast from filters or performing general colour grading. I hope this is implemented in Lightroom eventually as it’s the one thing that has me opening Photoshop.

2009

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!
