I received during the week, a lovely letter from a man who had visited my photography exhibition. He would have seen it in the local paper. He was the same man I took photos of some baby Tawny Frogmouths for late last year when the family was in his garden. He was thrilled to see…

Photography Glossary
I mentioned Australian Photography Magazine a couple of weeks ago. They have launched a new website AustralianPhotography.com with competitions, events, exhibitions and lots of other things listed. On it is a very useful glossary on photography that I thought you might find useful. It also mentions some famous photographers, both present and in the past. …
Flash: is it time to move on?
I heard Michael speak at my BNI chapter recently about Flash and asked him to write a guest article for my blog. Flash based websites and photo galleries have long been the darlings of photographers; and not without good reason. Used to best effect they are capable of presenting beautiful portfolio style websites in a…
Common sense article about memory cards
Saw this article this morning about how this photographer uses Memory Cards. I was pleased to see that most of what he does I do anyway. For me it makes good sense but perhaps for others, it’s still something to learn, so I thought I’d share it with you. A Guest Post on Memory Cards…

Well, you could win something – I run occasional competitions and am able to contact email subscribers direct. Subscribing by email means it arrives in your inbox daily rather than having to remember to read your RSS feed or go to the site on a daily basis. I do have it set up to publish…
Project 365
If you’ve been reading this blog for awhile you would have picked up that I participated in Project 365 last year. What this meant was taking a photo a day and posting it with a group at Flickr. This was a great exercise to participate in as it made me think daily about going outside…
Camera bags that don't look like camera bags
If you’re like me you don’t want to announce to the general public that your camera is always with you. So how do you carry it around safely so it doesn’t get bumped and knocked? I’ve purchased a ladies leather backpack which looks like a regular handbag women would carry. But inside I’ve added the…
Submitting to Stock Photos Sites III
Thought I’d report in and let you know how things are going. If you’re into photography have you tried out iSyndica yet? I discovered this week that not all the stock photo sites actually notify you when a sale has been made so imagine my surprise when I logged in yesterday to iSyndica and discovered…
Playing with Photoshop
I’ve been having fun with some of my photos and playing with photoshop. I wanted to find out how to put speech bubbles on my photos. I had to download an add-on and install the style into Photoshop, and Photoshop Editor too. I’m uploading a number of photos to my account at Send Out Cards…
Submitting to Stock Photo Sites II
Well, the end of my first full week with 85 images submitted to 5 photo sites. Interesting experience. Not all of the photo sites work with the same criteria for photos so while some accepted all, or nearly all images, others would knock them back because they were ‘too snapshotish’ (not sure exactly what they…
Winner for my "Year Today" post
Thanks for those who commented for my anniversary post. It’s nice to see what photos you’ve enjoyed. Unfortunately there can only be one winner and that person is Lisa Olinda. Seems my kookaburra images have sparked conversation in her US based home. I’ll be organising to send a copy of the photobook to Lisa by…
Project 365
I belong to the Australian Photography Forum and also Project 365 where it means taking a photo a day. I take more than just one a day but struggle to get them all uploaded every day. However this link will lead you to some of the shots I have tagged for Project 365 which is…
