I love this little feller, he stood so still while I took his photo. Not sure I have his best angle but he looks pretty good to me. It was a gloomy day, lighting wasn’t very good so, you guessed it, a little post fiddling with Aperture this time, not Continue Reading
Photography
On A Clear Day
Grinder
A close up study. The subject is centred, in focus and naturally lit from top-right. No post-processing except for a little size reduction for web viewing. Yes, it’s a coffee grinder, I remember when I was very young, my grandmother would ask me to grind some beans for her. I Continue Reading

The Kissing Girl is part of a pair of garden statuettes, stay tuned for the recipient of her affections soon. Taken in the light of the afternoon on a cloudy summer day, no enhancements other than a reduction in resolution to speed up the display on the web.

Tea in the Garden
Nice day for a spot of tea in the garden. This set was custom made by a very talented lady from Ballarat. I’ve lost touch with her, it would be nice to have the saucers as well, for the scones, and a jam pot, and a cream bowl. Taken with an Continue Reading
