I know many of my audience loves jigsaws and while I have several you can purchase to do on a table or a board, or something, I do have several others available as online puzzles – totally free. A great thing to do while at home during ISO but at any time really. I’ll be…

Missing Photos
Recently, a dear friend of mine passed away, but because of the Pandemic and that she was in another state, I was unable to attend her funeral and say my goodbyes. She was also very involved in the Virtual Assistant industry, as I have been, for many years, and for a time, she was my…
Made it to Guru… at last!
After 3.5 years I finally made to the Guru level as a photographer! What does that mean? I’ve been a member of Gurushots during that time, working my way up through Newbie, Rookie, Challenger, Advanced, Veteran, Expert, Champion, Master and finally to Guru! Some make it quicker – I have no idea why I didn’t…
Do You Enjoy Photography?
If you’re like me, you enjoy photography challenges. Getting the best bird shot, getting the best flower shot, getting the best insect shot. And you like to experiment with different styles. Or, perhaps you don’t, but maybe you are open to the idea? Nearly 4 years ago I joined Gurushots, as I was told that…
Photography and Social Media tips
I’ve been a blogger for many years, since 2005 in fact, and own a few blogs on various topics. Firm believer that you should keep your blog focused on one topic – although you may have many categories under that one topic. In this case, this blog relates to photography and the categories relate to…

The Barn Owl
This past weekend I had the wonderful opportunity of not only attending, but also supporting, Steve Parish, Australia’s most well-known nature photographer, in a 2 day nature photography workshop being held almost in my own backyard. Well, down the road and along a few others anyway – not far away in Belgrave Heights. Two whole…

Steve Parish Nature Photography Workshop in Victoria!
Just want the facts? Program here. Bookings here. I’m delighted to announce that I’m hosting a nature photography workshop with Steve Parish, here in Victoria, in September this year. What a wonderful honour and opportunity. I’ve admired Steve’s work for many, many years, having poured through books, calendars, looked at postcards and having wanted to…
Managing your photos
If you enjoy taking photos, as I do, even if it’s not quite as many, have you thought about how to manage the organisation of your photography files and folders? I’ve sometimes wondered how others do it but worked out a system that seems to work for me and, pending finding anything else that might…
Taking a photo a day
Hi, have you missed me? I have been around, mostly at Facebook, and life before Christmas was incredibly crazy. But I don’t stop taking photos almost every day of my life. A great way of improving my skills, getting to know my camera well and seeing things in a way that I might not have,…
