Not long to go now.

More Mosaics from Julee Latimer

On Monday I went out on location with Julee Latimer. Her commissioned work that she completed mid way through the year had finished being installed and needed documenting.

It was very exciting. I had seen the works in progress, but not the final creation.

We walked in and they were all there looking absolutely stunning. We are going to go back when everything in the house is sorted to photograph the other butterflies. I am really looking forward to this.

More in Black and White

I am currently going through a pretty heavy black and white phase right now. I am enjoying the look of these processed images quite a lot. When I get time, I have been going back and looking at some of my older images and re-processing them.

Altona, again showing off in the sunset

We had a gorgeous Saturday here in Melbourne, Australia. One that makes you go outside, sit back, relax and simply enjoy life.

It was a bit too hot to go to the beach in the middle of the day. We went in the late afternoon. And, as usual, Altona beach was simply stunning.

I would say that this is the perfect beach for young families. The water is shallow. The water is warm. And everybody is friendly.

Self Portrait

Originally this was in this gallery in colour. However, since I am going through a pretty strong black and white phase, it is now in black and white.

It was a bright overcast day. Initially I was using direct flash, but it looked too fake. So I fired the flash into a shoot-through umbrella to camera right at 1/2 power.

Camera was triggered with a pocket wizard. The flash triggered with skyports.

Another Full Moon

13/10/11
My wife, Sarah, came bursting through the door after coming home in the early evening and said, have you seen the moon?
No...
Well, you should go outside and have a look. It is incredible.

I was excited by this because I am usually always the one telling Sarah to have a look at the stars, or Jupiter, or the sunset, or the crescent Moon, or the full Moon. For Sarah to tell me to look at the Moon must mean that it is quite spectacular. Also, Sarah has never told me to go outside and look at the Moon before.

I grabbed Ollie and headed outside.

Wow.

I was gobsmacked. Eventually I ran inside and grabbed my camera, telephoto lens and tripod and was back outside.

Timer on 2 seconds.
