MJB PhotoArt now has a logo and a basic website, it’s not much, but at least there is something up there! I really like how the logo came out and it works very well as a watermark too since it is transparent and appears just like a stamp has been put on the corner of [...]
Back in March I took my camera and my 50mm Canon EF 1.4 lens to the Springwood skate park to do some experimenting with shots. Unfortunately, there were no skaters there, but I still had some fun with angles, colours and lighting at the park. Here are some of my favourite shots, these were all [...]
I’ve had some these tabs open since January, so it’s probably about time I put them down somewhere! Most of these have been useful to me in some way and I have been meaning to write a blog about some of them, just haven’t had a chance yet. So for now, I’ll just put all [...]
On Sunday if all goes to plan, I’m hoping to head up to Maroochydore for Red Bull’s Manny Mania Qualifier at the Alexandra Headlands Skate Park. The idea being that I could experiment with some action shots, particularly of skateboarders. I decided it probably wouldn’t hurt to have a look at what tips are floating [...]
I find low light situations quite interesting to photograph as you can get some really interesting lighting with lots of contrast since the backgrounds are often nice and dark.

In January 2010 I was down on the Mornington Peninsula in Melbourne, Victoria. On the 23rd we checked out Flinders Beach, the water down there is amazingly clear and I got some really cool photos, especially in and around rock pools. I didn’t do much in the way of experimenting with these, just used settings [...]
As I mentioned back on the 1st of January, I would like to focus on my photography some more this year. As part of that I bought myself a Canon EOS 500D DSLR camera. Over the past couple of weeks since I got the camera I have been reading a number of articles on photography [...]
Happy new year everybody, I hope 2010 see’s you well! I’ve been away from Brisbane since the 20th of December. So far I’ve been in Wagga and Batemans Bay, soon I’ll be on my way to Melbourne as well. It’s been a great break, but today I’ve had to sit down and get back to [...]
It’s very unusual that I import the photo’s from my digital camera (Olympus FE-210) and get a surprise. As one would expect, as it is my camera, I generally know what photo’s will be on it, seeing as how I took them. Last night though, I was importing the photo’s from throughout Christmas day, and [...]
