ICELAND DISPATCH #13 – DETTIFOSS

August 4, 2010 – 9:31 pm

The power of Mother Nature is never so clear as when one stands on the edge of Dettifoss – Iceland’s most impressive waterfall. A massive 193 cubic meters of water thunders over its edge every second, creating a plume of spray that can be seen one kilometre away. Standing on the edge of the basalt [...]

FOOTPRINTS ON MARS – PROCESSING IN LIGHTROOM 2.7 VIDEO

June 25, 2010 – 12:56 pm

In response to a few emails I have had asking me how I went about  processing this photograph – ‘Footprints on Mars‘ I have put together a short video on the steps I took in Lightroom 2.7. I have subsequently upgraded to Lightroom 3.0; but the processing remains the same (the sharpening for this photograph [...]

Another fabulous video on the Eyjafjallajokull volcano eruption – posted to You Tube by Chris Weber. This video really gives you a great impression of the volcanos incredible power.

THE MAKING A CANON SUPER TELEPHOTO ‘L’ SERIES LENS

May 27, 2010 – 11:29 am

The first time a new photographer encounters the price tag on some of Canon’s super telephoto lenses they quite often suffer from sticker shock at the price of entry. Just why does it cost more than $6000 Australian dollars for a 300mm F2.8L lens, more than $8000 for a 500mm F4 and more than a [...]

IPAD READS RAW FILES

April 24, 2010 – 10:29 pm

It appears the iPad may have more use as an ‘in the field’ photography tool than I first thought. With the use of a USB SD card reader adapter  the iPad can read all the normal RAW files that Mac OSX, iPhoto and Aperture can handle. This makes it potentially an extremely useful tool for reviewing [...]

THE PINNACLES – CAPE WOOLAMAI

April 18, 2010 – 9:46 am

A short video from the Pinnacles twenty minutes after a very banal sunrise on Saturday morning. Apologies for the poor quality video and audio – this was shot on my pocket Canon S90 point and shoot; which was resting on a convenient boulder. The sound of the ocean overwhelms pretty much everything else, including my [...]
