Our camera club had a recent outing to the city to capture night scapes of the city. This is one of the images I took that was submitted to one of the club’s monthly competitions, subject “Movement”
Catching Up, Restarting, Trying to Keep Up To Date
It’s been a year since I added to this blog. I’m trying out a new gallery system that can integrate into Lightroom to make it a bit easier to transfer photos from Lightroom. These following images are my most recent Bacchus Marsh and District Photography Club competition entries. This is June 2024, my most successfulContinue reading
April, May and June Club Competition Entries
It’s another post of my recent entries into my local club competition. Each month we have two categories – EDI (Expressive Data Imagery) and Print.

Melbourne Zoo
The Bacchus Marsh and District Photography Club had an outing to the Melbourne Zoo. It was a cool windy day, some animals didn’t make a showing but it was overall an enjoyable time, trying to get some good shots. All shots are taken with Aperture priority. These first two photos were taken with my NikonContinue reading
Avalon Airshow 2023
I spent the Friday at the Airshow taking a lot of photos. Approximately 1600 photos. Unfortunately my inexperience of taking high speed aircraft meant that I didn’t get a lot of photos that could even be considered average.

West Gate Bridge at Sunset
While at Princes Pier with the Melbourne Photography Excursions group the opportunity to shoot West Gate Bridge with the sun setting behind it was great. I missed the sun right behind the bridge but I wanted to get some zoomed in shots with the vehicle light trails which worked out quite well. I used aContinue reading
Sunset at Princes Pier
The Melbourne Photography Excursions group had a meetup for sunset at Princes Pier in Melbourne recently. It was another chance to experiment with Nisi ND filters and graduated filters to try and get some daylight long exposures and sunset long exposures. The first set were taken before sunset using a Nikon 24-70mm lens with aContinue reading
New Site, New Start
I’ve moved my photography and travel blog to a new site and I thought I would start with a blank canvas. It’s been two years since I posted anything and moving the site across a couple of different hosting services with some glitches here and there so I wanted to start again. One of theContinue reading
