Welcome! This site is primarily a showcase for my photography. I have categorised my best images by theme into a number of galleries, currently Landscapes, Nature, Urban, industrial and structures, People, and Abstract. See Main galleries in the left sidebar. Most images are for sale, with prices that vary for charitable, educational, commercial and personal use. Please contact me for more information.
I have also published trip notes and photo diaries for walks, cycle tours and other trips that I've done. See the links under Travel in the left sidebar. There is also an information section, containing articles on photography, software (including my web and software portfolio), outdoor pursuits and anything else I find interesting. Again, see the links in the left sidebar.

Another fabulous Christmas week at the coast! This year the gang rented a
spacious house at Tathra on the
south coast of New South Wales. I spent a lot of the time eating and sleeping,
but found enough time to do some short walks around the area.

I've been scanning more 35mm film. I've added a couple of black-and-white
images to the People gallery - one from a snow-camping
trip in the '90s and another from my 1987 India trip. It's been so long since
I've done anything with a 35mm silver-halide negative I'd almost forgotten what
film-grain looked like. For these two images I think it actually looks quite
nice.

I've finished re-scanning and re-processing the 2003 Larapinta Trail images.
These were taken on 35mm slide film (Kodak Elite Chrome 200 I think), and the
old scans look pretty shabby, especially next to the images from the 2010
Larapinta walk (which were taken with a Canon 5D Mk II). I'm surprised how much
better the new scans look. I attribute that to a combination of profiling my
scanner, using a good monitor (also profiled) and paying more attention to
colour balance.
