6am Ubud, Bali

One of the highlights of 2009 was staying in the rain-forests and rice fields of Ubud, Bali.

On our third morning I caught the sun rising through a gap in the screen. Taken somewhere between 6 and 7am here are some shots of that very first light.

No photograph of the year to be found in this post, but for all those who live in Sydney or plan on travelling to the city in the near future, then check out Gordon's Bay. If you park your car close to the Clovelly Hotel you are only a short walk to this peaceful cove. When the sun shines it is a dream location for the snorkel and/ or just lazing out by the rocks.

Portraits at Surfers Paradise

A series of shots taken at Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast, Australia.

I was shooting with my Canon ESO 450D, but with my favourite Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II lens. This particular lens is restrictive, for example, you are not able to switch to a wide angled shot, but it does make for a clear image with wonderful depth of field.

In these particular shots, I notched the f/stop two notches above 1.8 and kept the ISO at 100 due to the good sunlight.

I also enjoyed tilting the camera. I think it makes for a more fun-filled scene. I hope you agree.

Portraits on Sydney Harbour

My Sister arrived in Sydney this week, and we enjoyed an evening down by the harbour. There was a magic light about the city this particular night. Storms cloud were growing ever heavier but the bright Australia sun was battling to find a way through. It was a ready mix of dark purple and orange that I hope comes through in the images. The shot of my Sister under the umbrella was taken just as she saw the Sydney Opera House for the first time. If I'd had my tripod I would have been captured some dramatic lighting shots. Next time!

Sunday avo

A few shots from Sunday avo lunch at Ripples Cafe.

I wished I'd brought my new flash gun for the kid jumping from the jetty. I'm not yet sure what effect that would have had, but with those murky clouds and dreamy water I suspect it would have been cool.

For those tempted by the table, please visit http://www.ripplescafe.com.au. You won't be disappointed.

Billy Blue

Kristen and me took a Saturday afternoon to visit the Billy Blue College of Design. Set within an old industrial warehouse there was a real vibe to the place. The DJ provided the pulse and the students danced to their own creative rhythms.

A good option for any inspiring creative, and they even host photography courses.
