AN ADELAIDE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

If you live in the UK, or have friends who live in the UK, or if you read the Sydney Morning Herald who seem to have an unnatural obsession with the motherland you’ll know that we’re having some pretty serious snow at the moment. In the spirit of striking while the iron is hot (or […]

In the world before cheap SLR cameras primal chaos reigned, Canon sought order but the Nikon can fly only when its feathers are grown. The two worlds formed again and yet again, as endless aeons wheeled and passed. The moistures of the Earth, all the powers of the Sun and Moon, all worked upon a […]

While more conventional photo blogs are posting subjects like “Best photo of 2008” (I assume, the only ones I look at never seem to get updated – you know who you are), here at simonbills.com we’re doing things a little differently. And by a little differently I mean just that, a little differently. My personal […]

In the spirit of pushing the barriers of the photographic art form, and going places more conventional photographers fear to tread, this week’s instalment of Billo’s Photos will not contain any photos.

The devil makes work for idle hands. At least he did last Friday night when I was home alone with a camera and a tripod. Yes, it was time for Simon to do some experimenting. With Photoshop. Now, I’m not much of a Photoshopper, I use Lightroom for my image editing which basically consists of […]

Now, if you’re one of my regular readers (dad, ?, …….) you’ll have been waiting with feverish excitement these last 6 days, on the edge of your seat dreaming up what this mini-project mystery I promised last week could possibly be. Well, wait no more. I bought a head torch a few months back with […]

As I was poking round Stanstead airport waiting for my flight to Genoa (or Genova if you’re Italian – why do countries feel the need to change the names of cities in other countries?) I noticed one of the airport bookstores featuring signs proudly boasting “Exclusive airport edition” for many of their books. Has anyone […]
