August Snaps 25 August

“In the Depth of Dark.” The title hints at when I made my photo today…after dark. It was a busy day today and I didn’t have a chance to shoot until I arrived home at around 6pm which was after the last light of the day. I went out for a little walk close to [...]

“Agave Layers.” Admittedly there is not a lot to keep the viewers attention in this image. There is no real focal point, no real place for the eyes to go to for a little rest. It’s probably not the type of image you look at for ages. Nevertheless I quite like the image and chose [...]

“Self-Portait.” Little did I know I would be flirting with self-portraits during this August challenge, but nevertheless that is what I found myself doing yesterday and again today. Self-portraits are hardly my usually choice of subject! Self-portraiture is a whole genre in and of itself. For example you may have heard about Rebekka Gudleifsdottir from [...]

“Straight Ahead Into Emptiness.” As glorious a day as yesterday was, as bad a day I have had today. I shall not bore you with all the details of what went wrong, but suffice to say that it didn’t help when the parking attendant at the parking lot where I had parked started making comments [...]

“Life in the Shadows.” I didn’t have quite as much time for photography today as I had yesterday and I will have even less time tomorrow, but I will worry about that tomorrow! I did manage to shoot a total of 75 images today (although I shot some scenes quite extensively). I made images both [...]

Learning to See

My very first post on this website was Top 10 Best-Selling Photo Books which featured Bryan Peterson’s Understanding Exposure in spot number one. Bryan Peterson is also the author of another great book titled Learning to See Creatively which is a great book about design, colour and composition in photography. It’s full of great examples [...]

More Infrared Black and White

A few days ago I posted one of my first infrared black and white images and I thought I would share another image from the same outing (click the thumbnail on the left to view image in full size) in this little quick post. I like this image because it has an almost ‘other worldly’ [...]

Infrared Black and White

A couple of months ago I sold my beloved Hasselblad XpanII to free up some cash so I could  upgrade my Canon 20D to a Canon 5DMKII. However I kept my old 20D (partly as I have a few good EF-S lenses and partly because of the extra reach the 20D’s  1.6 crop factor offers). In fact I logged onto Ebay and [...]
