AN ADELAIDE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

In typical simonbills.com fashion I’m breaking convention yet again, 2 blogs in 2 days if you don’t mind. Yep. So, this evening I spent a bit of time playing round in Lightroom setting up some presets to automate the export of photos in a blog friendly manner, I think this new way of presenting the […]

What a weekend! Mum wins the US Open, Dad loses it (to a 20 year old kid no less), and sheep number 3 wins the annual Sheeplechase at the Pet Personality Awards in Regents Park. I really don’t know which result was the most surprising.

Every once in a while, perhaps 12 months or so, I find myself enthusiastically agreeing to hit a London club in search of good times, carefree dancing and, well, more good times. And, like clockwork, each year I also find myself wondering why I thought it would be fun this time and why so many […]

Wow, I’m up to 50 posts now in this blog, who knew it had legs? (actually, I think we all probably knew it did, I mean, it’s a socially acceptable way of being completely self indulgent which is right up my alley – especially when combined with photography!).

While the rest of you working stiffs are toiling away at your 9 to 5s I’m onto my third Banks of the evening watching monkeys run across the golf course having spent the afternoon scuba diving. Life is tough in Barbados. Dinner is on the way (Andy’s whipping up his famous jerk chicken I think?) […]

There was commotion by the door, I stopped mid-sentence and ran full speed towards her, along with more paps than I’d seen in my life.

Super Awesome™ (adjective) The act of being better than super and better than awesome; the highest compliment one can pay to an event or person; popularised by Dave Gerhard. Eg – that canal boating weekend was super awesome. And so it was, 12 of us had found our way to Rugby (the birthplace of rugby […]

When the opportunity arose to take Brendan’s monster lens home over night I didn’t have to be asked twice. The lens in question is the gargantuan Sigma 120-300 f/2.8L which I believe is the fastest zoom lens that extended to 300mm (for the fellow photography nerds out there!). This is how is looked when attached […]

Alanis Morissette would have considered it ironic. It’s not consistent with my understanding of irony, but I guess they do things a little differently in Canada, eh? For me the rain was just something that needed to be worked around, and fortunately right after the ceremony when it needed to be dry, it was. The […]
