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 [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
