After talking about Aperture last week in my Basics of Photography: Aperture, its time to move onto to the second point of our exposure triangle – Shutterspeed. The other point of the exposure triangle being ISO which I will talk about next week. This Basics of Photography 3 part series is designed to get you […]
Ive had a few people sign up to my blog recently who are total beginners and have asked for me to do some blog posts about the basics of photography. I think this is a really good idea as its great for me to refresh myself with the basics too. Sometimes I get so caught […]
You may have seen on Instagram or Facebook or my last blog post that I went out to photograph the Milky Way last week. If you missed it you can read about it here. I had a few people ask how much editing went into the shot so I thought I would do a little […]
I have always wanted to know how to photograph the Milky Way and last night I had the pleasure. I was very excited when two photography friends invited me on a little adventure out into the middle of the woods at 9:30pm at night. Doesn’t sound creepy at all does it?! We travelled up to […]
Welcome to my first and hopefully one of many tutorial videos using Lightroom. Lightroom is my preference when it comes to editing my photos because it is so easy to use and gives awesome results. I do own Photoshop and I do use it for removing unwanted objects from my pics or for adding my […]
Ahh, the good old of Nifty Fifty. I think it would have to be my favourite lens in my camera bag. That may sound strange coming from a landscape photographer who uses a wide angle lens 90% of the time but there is just something special about the 50mm f1.8 prime lens. Every time I […]

I recently spent a lovely long weekend in Byron Bay, NSW with hubby and my two dogs Otis and Ella. We hired a self contained granny flat from AirBnB which was awesome. It was about 5 minutes out of town heading towards Broken Head in a quiet street but still close enough to everything that […]
After leaving Sydney for the last leg of our Brisbane to Sydney road trip we drove from Bondi all the way to Scone. There is a gorgeous horse stud there called Emirates Park and I remember driving passed it in awe as a child. It was the start of the fall colours and we found […]
After leaving Manly we drove over to Bondi where we were staying for two nights before the long drive back to Brisbane. We were staying at the Adina which was all new and modern and in a good posse not too far from Bondi Beach. After checking in we went for a walk from Bondi […]
I asked my friend recently what she would like to know about photography. She is your typical 20 something, Instagramming, textaholic girl born of the “selfie” generation.
