    Loved the workshop. As always, Will was great and I learned something new by looking at things from a different perspective. :)

    The event was good, exactly what I needed. I've been feeling a bit stuck with my photography and needed an excuse to get out and change things up to try something different. I like that the meetup was relaxed and flexible and didn't try to force people into doing one thing or another, people could follow whatever creative inspiration they had at the time. It was also good timing to be shooting in the two hours before sunset, definitely the best time to be out shooting with a nifty fifty.

    Loved it! I was great to join a group of likeminded photographers and the instructor was really helpful making useful suggestions and assisting where he could. It felt like a safe way to get out in public and take photos.

    The Supermoon rise, over Lake George.My wife has always agreed that the time you can see a shot, you should take it.If you don't, you may never see it again. In this case, I could see an chance for a shot and it was well within distance to get there. We planned to be there ahead of time, so we would not miss the opportunity. Didn't hurt everyone was talking about it, so you knew it was on. The clouds made for an interesting addition and not in a bad way.RF 800mm f/11 with- 1.4x

    Title or Location: Bungendore NSW
    On a drive out past Bungendore looking for cool things to photograph, I noticed this Morris Minor sitting in a paddock next to a farm. I knocked on the door and Farmer Jack was more than happy for me to come back and take some pictures at night time. I had to wait just over 3 weeks between the moon, being sick, and lambing season, but it was completely worth it.I used a soft yellow LED light to lightpaint the car and took 25 individual shots, stacked and blended in Photoshop.

    This shot was taken on a recent drive to the country side o a Canola hunt. Having a love of trees especially lone trees, I came across this stunning vibrant green field with a lone tree. As the sun started to go behind a cloud the shadow layered the field.

Shot with my Nikon Z8 Nikon Z24-120S 4.0Processed with Photoshop Topaz . I shoot raw so I used several adjustment layers to achieve the desired look.

    Title or Location: Christmas Boxer
    I was testing out a new backdrop that I purchased for a family mini Christmas shoot that I have coming up. I used to make my children be my models but since they are grown Zeus, my boxer, was such a good boy and was my model. This was shot on a Canon EOS 6D with the EF 24-105mm f/4L at 24mm, ISO 320, 1/160. I used two Alien B800 strobes with white umbrellas.
