The photography Intro and Tips contains some general comments and information about photography and discusses various photography and camera tips and techniques, and how the images in the photo galleries were created. Click Photos to view my photograph gallery of some of my favourite pictures of various subjects such as people, places and anything else that would (or wouldn't) stay still long enough for me to hit the shutter button! The Stories section has sequences od related photos which document a holiday, travel, or someother subject. Check out the Downloads section to download some medium resolution versions of photos which you can use for whatever you want (just leave my name and web address on the photo, thanks). You could also have a look at the spectacular photos from the Wanaka Warbirds Air Shows by going to my aircraft section.

About the Title Image on this Page

The image used in the title of this page is a photo I took when in Sydney, Australia. I like using unusual lighting conditions, especially just after sunset (I don't like getting up too early in the morning, but I guess sunrise would be fairly interesting too). The most important technique to master in these conditions is holding the camera still because I usually don't have a tripod. I can usually find a post or other solid object somewhere and my Canon camera is quite bulky and heavy making this easier! The thing I like about this is the restricted range of colours and how the the natural illumination from the Sun and the bridge lighting. Like all the photos here no filters, darkroom or electronic tricks were used.



I usually write a blog post about once a week. The latest post can be viewed here: Think for Yourself: In the end, everything is just an opinion. Be skeptical, and think for yourself! (posted 2026-04-25 at 21:12:02). Or go to the Home Page of My Blog to choose a post to view.
