Printing a calendar for Christmas Presents

Last year I used 13 of the photos I took from my 6 month trip around Australia in 2005 to make a calendar for a Christmas present for family and friend. The print company I used was Kainos Print from the ACT, and the actual order form for the calendar is here - they make the process quite simple. The...

The Wedding Portrait - An exercise in Photoshop

A couple of weekends ago I had my first attempt at photographing a wedding. Portrait and event photography isn't something I'm particularly interested in - I much prefer landscape and sport. The bride was a close family friend, and the wedding was not overly formal and they didn't want a professional...

Grand Cayon Pano - Trying a Different Pano Merge Tool

I've been using the inbuilt Photoshop Photomerge tool for about 2 years with pretty good results, but was having a lot of trouble with some of the canyon shots from the US trip trying to get a good merge. The preview view in CS2 Photomerge is simply too small to work out if the placement of the images...

A Warm Sleeping Bag is Always a Good Idea

When I bought a sleeping bag rated to -15 degrees, it seemed like real overkill. After all, Australia has never, ever recorded a temperate that low (-9.4 at Charlottes Pass on 29 Jun 1994 is our lowest ever recorded temperature). Camping up at Mather Camp Ground on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon on...

Antelope Canyon Magic

Antelope Canyon is actually on Navajo land just outside Page, Arizona, and you need a Navajo escort to get into the Upper Canyon. I went on the photographer tour with Antelope Canyon Tours , and it was well worth the money with the extra time and help we got in the Canyon. During this shot, the guide...

Bryce Canyon At Dawn

One thing that this shot doesn't show is how cold it was here - something like 10 below zero on the celcius scale. Most of the other photographers coming from warm hotel rooms didn't last too long. I was in full thermals, then long hiking gear, with Gortex on top for warmth. In addition, I got a litre...

Moonlight in the Grand Canyon

There was a fantastic full moon on my first night down in the Grand Canyon. This is a shot of Bright Angel Creek (the tent sites are near the trees) in moonlight. This photo is totally untouched - this is how it came out of the camera. Its a pretty magical place.

Photos of the Trip - Week 20

After a bit of a lay-off, I'm attempting to go through the last few weeks of 2005's six month adventure around Australia before the end of this year. Thinking back to home many shots I took in Tassie, that could be a stuggle. Full Week 20 Gallery
