    A Journey To Tasmania – Part 1: Tahune Air Walk

    Due to an unfortunate family event, the opportunity arose for the Sprite clan to spend a week and a bit of the school holidays actually on holiday in Tasmania. I had spent nearly 2 weeks there a few weeks previous, but I was working and attending to family business and didn’t have a great deal…

  • Be Curious Photo Walks, April 2023 edition

    For the last six months or so I have been going on a monthly walk with other photographers at various locations around Canberra. The Be Curious Photo Walks are the brainchild of Cristy Frohlich Photography, and if that name sounds familiar it is because Cristy got a mention in a previous blog post here. The…

  • Canberra Balloon Festival 2023

    Hello! This week, a quick summary of my early morning trip to the Canberra Balloon Festival 2023 opening weekend back in March. You may recall last year (see my blog here) that I was quite uncomplimentary about the new Balloon Festival hub being down on the Patrick White Lawns between the National Library and the…

    Autumn Flowers

    Hi everyone. This week I’m sharing some flower images from my garden. It’s been a wet (and suddenly cold!) April in Canberra but I have managed to get out few times to photograph.

    Thirlmere Festival of Steam 2023 – Part One

    I enjoyed my trip to Thirlmere last year, so this year I reprised the visit. This time around I had the eldest Sprite along for the trip and he took photos and video from the trip as well (using my gear, of course!). I’ll leave him to make his own social media comments on the…

    Another trip to Mittagong

    On the weekend of 18/19 March 2023, I again went to Mittagong. Actually I stayed in Bowral this time, but pretty much the same. First a few observations from the trip, and then on the the actual reason for travelling – the Thirlmere Festival of Steam. The opening photo (taken on my phone) is a…

  • My Photography Journey – Part 2

    The Digital Era (early) The great thing about the digital cameras – at least for people like me who are fascinated with the numbers – is that I have a quick and easy way to count how many images I have, and in the most part can tell roughly how many images in total the…

    My photography journey – Part 1

    The pre-digital story I thought I would do a little bit on my journey through photography. At least to the extent that journey is documented by my gear, anyway. So, this is part 1, looking at my pre-digital forays into the photographic arts. I’ll do part 2 in a later week. My first camera My…
