Light trails have always been a bit of fun. Standing on a train platform or freeway over pass has often created some interesting results. This image was taken on a long late night after 1 too many on a friends bush block in Denmark, South West W.A. They had just spent $30K on a concrete pad for a new shed. It has been the best cricket pitch I have ever played on ! So after a day of cricket and again many brews the creative juices flowed. We used all sorts of lighting implements from sparklers to kerosene lamps to create an array of light trails.Adrian

Took myself off to the University of Western Australia. Its a great place early in the morning with the light tunneling down the halls. Not too sure what to think of the image with its colour cast but none the less its my first attempt at HDR. Cheers Adrian

Well what a night it was at the great Pizza Hall of Mark’s from The True North. Thanks for all the feedback on my macro work and for all the new links via wordpress. Well the pressure is on to follow up so here you go. For anyone with a green thumb you will know how much pain one can receive when pruning a Bougainvillea. Covered in 2 inch thorns I had not really got close enough to actually notice that they contain a white flower within the paper like petals. Enjoy Adrian

Well for those that don’t know me the image below portrays what I do for a living. As all photogs know it is often argued that we are never in any photographs so here you go, this is me at work rest & play. Adrian

Alyssum is a flowering border plant lining every rose garden in the city. Quite a difficult species to isolate as it grows in clusters however I think this image does its refined beauty justice.

Absolutely enjoying the weather at the moment, rain, sun shine, cloud all in one day providing great lighting conditions. This image was taken directly after a brief shower followed by full direct sunlight. Taken with 100mm macro and circular polarised filter. Enjoy Adrian

From what I have seen in the past few days via different posts and getting out and amongst it, is that spring for 2009 is going to be a bumper season. I headed to the John Forrest National Park looking to get some images of Hovea falls. That somehow didn’t eventuate and will be left for another trip however it was the abundant supply of wildflowers I couldn’t resist. You don’t need to walk too far before you are surrounded by 4 0r 5 different species of wildflowers, all at different stages of bloom. One word of warning, if you go on a week day when you maybe the only person out there, just be wary of sneaky ,stealth like western grey kangaroos, thats all I will say on that. Cheers Adrian

I was just entertaining the thought of converting a macro to HDR and ended up with this. The image is showing a little noise however I don’t have ninja and the noise filter in CS4 doesn’t do it for me. Anyway I posted it so let me know your thoughts, Cheers Adrian

Well I have not put a post up for almost a week due to being infected with what seems to be the next generation of the flue,Swine. So without getting out and amongst it I have been going through my external Lacie H/D and found an unworked image from my trip to Vietnam. I wanted this image to portray a dark, unclean yet subtle vibrant colour reflective of how life is on the streets of Vietnam. Or maybe its the state of mind and body Im currently feeling. Oink !

Back to Mosman Bay to finally capture the Boat Shed. I had been many times before but was never satisfied with the end product. With the knowledge of clouds gathering I arrived there early and set up for a 6 sec exposure. Converted to B & W with exposure and contrast adjustment finishing with 2 x sharp filter. Adrian

The tulip and daffodil bulbs in my garden are in full bloom and no I didn’t plant them for photographic subject matter but hey I don’t have to go far to get the 100mm macro lens out. The weather where I live must have got rather cold last night because the entire garden was covered in dew providing this stunning composition. Adrian

I was out early to capture more river reflections while the clear crisp mornings lasted. However on this morning the water current was not working with long exposures, moving the moored boats around oh so very slightly. This image has those reflections I was looking for and the movement in the image creates a sense of life in the scene. Adrian
