Road trip to Townsville in June/July 2019. From Victoria through Broken Hill in outback New South Wales through Bourke, Longreach and Cloncurry to Mount Isa in outback Queensland, then across to Townsville. Back to Victoria partly down the coast then midland on and around the Newell Highway. 9,500 kilometres. Below …

Roaming with my Leica Q in Bali from Kuta to Ubud in April 2019. Never been before, never really been interested, mainly because of the apparent reputation of Kuta Beach and the bogan culture. So we spent a day in Kuta then went inland to see the (perhaps) real Bali. …

Travel photography in India October 2018 with my Leica Q. Converted to mono using Silver Efex Pro 2 (through Photoshop with initial developing in DxO PhotoLab 2). Some cropping because it helps to tell the story. All shooting in RAW. I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves, but… IMHO the …

Street photography in recent India trip (October 2018) with my Leica Q. Converted to mono using Silver Efex Pro 2 (through Photoshop with initial developing in DxO PhotoLab 2). Some cropping because it helps to tell the story. All shooting in RAW. Not much to say really, let the pictures …

In October 2018 we travelled to Bhutan then on to India, visiting the “Golden Triangle” and Varanasi. Only a short sample of India, but what a contrast from Bhutan!

Bhutan exudes happiness. It is, after all, its national product and it shows. Travelling through the country in October 2018 we met the people, admired their places and experienced their culture (to a point). Chili is the national dish. Hot! We didn’t go that far experiencing Bhutanese food – restaurants …

The street photographer’s guide to trees. I think trees are too much ignored. We take a picture and happen to notice a tree (or trees). We should appreciate them more. For their beauty; for their shade; for their colour; for their age; for their mystery… Trees can provide shelter and …

I shot my first bird in 1972. I have felt bad about it ever since. Really. Machoism at end of Uni camp. But we all grow up. Continuing my journey in photography I must go where probably everyone goes when they get their first DSLR. Birds. Canon 7D with EF70-200 …

Perhaps the title should be “Can’t see the black and white for the colour” but the trees are more relevant to this blog. I mostly shot in colour with some early B&W, until I realised that I have been missing the point. Colour photography has its place and all that …
