AN ADELAIDE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

February 2, 2011

There’s a window of about 2 weeks each year in Adelaide where cyclists don’t have to be ashamed of their shaved legs and lycra shorts, where they ride 2 abreast on the roads with impunity and where it’s almost impossible to get a seat outside one of Adelaide’s many cafes which become inundated with riders […]

Right, let’s do this thing, day 2 of my 5 posts in 5 days and I’m bang on track. On my 2nd day in KL I spent half a day pottering round the world’s largest undercover bird sanctuary which was pretty different to anything I’d done before. Where I live in Adelaide backs onto Linear […]

Who would have thought in 1991, when Kurt Cobain was writing Nevermind and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers were penning Blood Sugar Sex Magik, that in just 20 short years the planet would be so dependent on something that no one but a few uber-nerds had ever heard of?

When I left the salubrious Kapalai resort in Borneo last year my thoughts were along the lines of that place was incredible, a truly once in a lifetime experience, little did I know that just four months later I’d be back to shoot a wedding! Kapalai is kind of like a cross between Kevin Costner’s […]

What a lackluster month of blogging!! One post for the whole of December, just when I was getting some momentum and some regular visitors to the site. I blame the silly season, and also the fact I’ve recently moved into a house sans internet which will hopefully be rectified at some stage before 2012. Rest […]

Adelaide hills wedding

The weather forecast 5 days before the wedding was looking promising. 24 degrees, some clouds, no rain.

bird in hand wedding party

We’d all been watching the weather all week. You’d think that arranging your outdoor wedding one week before summer in the driest state of the driest continent on earth would guarantee a rain free day, but weddings never go to plan and everyone was on tenterhooks….. although it certainly didn’t feel like it when I […]

I found myself in a camera store the other day and stumbled upon a new Canon camera sporting a 35x zoom. Yes, you read that right, a 35x zoom. A general rule with cameras and lenses is that the greater the zoom the poorer the quality, there are certain optical sacrifices that need to be […]
