I participate in a number of photography forums – what better way to learn a new skill or craft than to mix and mingle with others already doing what I want to do. Someone posted a question asking how do they find their niche? This was my answer to them: I’m relatively new to DSLR…

Get Drop Box
I’ve recently discovered DropBox when viewing another photographer’s website. Great tool although I’m still learning to use it. But you can sync it with your computer and have images automatically update in the photo sharing folder which has a viewing gallery so others can see your photos. Seems to work quite well but there are…
Professional Sites for Photographers
I’ve been trying out a number of sites with a view to finding one that suits my needs. Ultimately I’d like to be able to offer digital downloads and print copies of photos here in Australia. Redbubble provides the latter but not the former. Snapfish provides products such as mugs but not digital downloads. At…
My first SLR
It was either 1979, or 1980. Can’t remember which but it was when I had a young baby and wanted to take decent photos as that baby grew up. We heard about a second-hand Pentax 35mm for sale and bought it. It was an excellent camera and I took really good shots with it for…

Australian Photography
Do you like the photos you’ve been seeing here? Have you seen any you’d like to have a copy of – either in digital or print format? Well, now you can. I’ve been researching sites available to photographers for the purpose of providing images for sale. And I wanted to be able to provide those…
Selling photos online
I hope you’ve been enjoying my MTB photos of this past week. I’ve enjoyed going along with my husband to his races as it means a weekend away for me and until this year I spent my time tracking the team laptimes, looking after their food supplies and the tent and first aid kit, and…
Watermark Factory
Another tip for you. I’ve had several people ask me how I got the watermark on my photos. I did some research and found Watermark Factory. Very easy to use and not expensive to buy. I love that you can put the watermark on several photos at once rather than one at a time. Watermark…
Taking aerial pictures
I was reading a photoblog just recently and there was a great tip there about getting a flight so you can take aerial shots. There is a small aerodrome not far from my home. Perhaps I should make this one of my Friday photoshoot trips! Re the article here.
Tip for Photographers wanting to sell their images
I saw this great tip the other day relating to the sale of your photos. It was so simple I don’t know why I’d not thought of it myself. But let me share the article with you: “You may think that you have to be some professional photographer or a photographer with 20 years of…
Using Photoshop Elements
Being relatively new to digital photography, other than just using a ‘point-and-shoot’ camera, I’m now learning about editing, cropping and enhancing my shots. Once I decided I wanted to pursue this hobby much more seriously I found a lot of information via forums and photography clubs – online and offline. It was suggested I should…
Protecting Your Memory Card
I want to start sharing on this blog lessons I’ve learned every Friday. I’ve already shared on memory cards – how to retrieve photos from a damaged card and how to recognise if it’s locked. I want you to think about how you look after your memory card. Do you delete photos from it in…
