2009 Calendars
The online printing service that I use now, supports 2009 Calendar printing.
I have already prepared one ready for printing, but should you want a different selection of my images, I’m happy to customise one to your personal preference.
Simply contact me via e-mail for further discussions.
To view the current calendar configuration and pricing, simply click the image below
RedBubble calendars are printed on an HP Indigo 5000 (for those who haven’t heard, this is the digital press). Each page is a satin-coated print on 170gsm high quality art paper. They’re A3 size too (that’s 297x420mm, or 11.69″x16.54″). The cover shows your choice of image on heavier 300gsm paper.Your calendars have a hanger and white wire binding.
The Eyes of EOS, reccomended reading
Yesterday i was loaned a book by a family friend,
“EF Lens Work III, The Eyes of EOS”
it’s a publication by Canon, which details the entire EF lens range as well as a world of information including -Choices of lenses for different types of photography
-Full Technical specifications on the EF and EF-S lenses
-Theory of light including, reflection, refraction, optics and lens theory
-Construction and technical operation of the IS (Image Stabalisation) and AF (AutoFocus) systems.
There is also a downloadable version (in parts) available for those unaware of books!!
It can be found HERE
From what i’ve read so far, it’s a brilliant learning resource combined with an array of Canons marketing material. It is even very beneficial for the non-Canon users out there who would like a little more depth into the how and why’s of lens operation and science.
Falling Apart
While on a lunchbreak at work i thought i’d take a leisurely walk around the local area with the camera and see if i could spot anything interesting worth shooting. I’m trying to expand my skills and process into architecture and after being inspired by some of Alex Wise’s, Balck and Whites (free plug!! you can find his blog on the sidebar over there >>>)
I saw some relatively interesting stuff, but the older buildings usually have a lot more character, and lend themselves to black and white a little more, due to the natural contrasts produced by their varying colours and textures. None moreso than Hobarts, Holy Trinity Church, which has recently fallen into disrepair with the sandstone begining to deteriorate, and evensome of the small spires falling to the ground below.

Night Shoots
Every now and then I have some free time after the sun has gone down, simply to wander around and see what looks good under moonlight or streetlights.
Tonight I was on my way to a mates place and saw the Tasman bridge against a wonderful dark-blue sky.
There was another person who arrived a minute after i’d setup the tripod and taken a couple of shots, who decided to try and take some photo’s of the same scene with a point and shoot and with the flash on.
I wonder how his turned out??
