Just stumbled onto this cool vid of a restaurant in Japan.

The Nikon D3S now has 5 settings for Active D-Lighting. Low, Normal, High, Extra high and Auto. This image compares D-Lighting setting Off and thew new Auto setting. The extra detail in the blown highlight area is obvious. I usually turn this off when shooting sport as it tends to bog down the capture speed. […]

Photos shot with the new Nikon D3S here.

Shot this weekend’s matches on a Nikon D3S – will do a write up later, but the IQ is noticeable better, as is the AF. Also used the 1.2 and 1.5 crop modes extensively, so the 400mm was more like a 600mm but with fewer pixels. Have a look at the album and let me […]

Just found this interesting printing service. Love to know if there’s anything similar in AU. I could see a few of my shots on a blind or a wall.

What pano makers have known all along but its good to have a review just to confirm that Autopano Pro is still the king…

Probably the most detailed instruction on how to do Noise Reduction in Lightroom

I was chatting to Sanchia about doing panoramas and remembered this technique from Ryan Brenizer.

Really hot day for a soccer match! 30 degrees in the shade. Victory pulled out a goal in the 93rd minute to win the match 2-1. Match was played at the Veneto Club, the first time an artificial surface has been used in the W-League. Pics here “

Photos from the women and girls’ matches from round 2 of the Victorian Champions League between Central City FC and Gippsland Knights at Darebin. More pics here.

Images from A-League action 24 October at Etihad Stadium, Melbourne. Good crowd of over 20,000 – shot most of the first half with a 1.7x extender on the 400mm as all the action was down at the Adelaide goal. Thought the 2nd half would be down at my end so I shot without the 1.7x […]

If you’ve ever wondered how the LCD advertising panels work, this is a photo of the back of the LCD advertising panels at Etihad Stadium. Also see how close the retractable seats are to the action! Photo shot on iPhone 3G with bestc.am

Shot round 1 of the Victorian Champions League between Central City FC and Southern Blue Tongues at Sweeney Reserve today. More pics here.

Went down to the Honda Hybrid Women’s Tour 2009, part of the Jayco Sun Tour bike race. The final stage was around Lygon Street Carlton. Quite a small group of competitors, but you can get nice and close to the action. Had to be careful to not shoot against the sun as the faces would […]

Images from AFC Asian Cup qualification match between Australian and Oman on 14 October at Etihad Stadium, Melbourne. As has been for the past few matches in Melbourne it was pretty chilly. There were a couple of times the rain started to fall but luckily it held off for most of the match. The color […]

I got this shot of Emma WIRKUS from Perth Glory diving to save a shot. I love the sense of drama. You just want to know what happened next. It missed! More images here: http://events.syd-low.com

Photoworx Mike asked me to help shooting the GKR Karate World Cup 2009 at Victorian Netball Centre. Day 1 of competition. 15 August 2009. The sparing event was one of the most challenging action sport I’ve had to shoot to date. Click on the image below for more photos.

Open-Mesh.com looks interesting. I’ve been using Meraki for a few years but this appears to have simpler payment options.
