AN ADELAIDE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

Once again I’m pushing the boundaries of what the blogging / photography art form can withstand by doing another entry without any photos. I’m here today to introduce you to a couple of new things. Firstly I’ve added a widget to the blog (top right) which lists those of you who “follow” my blog. If […]

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.

A few weeks ago I took my second tentative step into the big bad world of professional photography. With a solitary maternity shoot as my only paid work to date (not including a free trip around Ireland for some promotion snaps this time last year) I took on the challenge of recording photographically the most […]

First up apologies for not updating this thing for a month, I had the folks over for a week and didn’t update it then, after that there was some other reason I didn’t do it, next thing I knew a full month had passed. It’s it’s not through lack of photos either, I’ve been pretty […]

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 […]
