A little while ago I was approached by Schmap travel guides seeking  permission to use one of the photos I’d taken when I was in Las Vegas.  I heard back today – the photo will be used, but as a result of a technical glitch the picture wont be in the guide until the next edition.  You can see where the photo will appear in the guide by going here.

The photo they will be using can be found on Flickr here. 

 I was reading a photography magazine and came across the mention of an interesting site – www.picnik.com – it allows you do photo editing online. This includes neat integration info Flickr.  As the article I read said, if you’re on the road and want to tweak and post some pictures – how much easier could it be?

We’ve had an email today from Peter Lik’s gallery in Sydney announcing some more photos (an image one of the pictures can be seen below). Like his other work the images are just stunning, beautiful shapes and colour that can be seen in nature.  For those not in the know, Peter was born in Australia started shooting the amazing scenery down under; but has over the last few years been shooting in the South West America and has garnered a raft of awards for his work.

We first came across Peter through friends, when they came back from Australia they gave us a book of some of his work.  So when we headed to Australia, and again when stopping over on our way to New Zealand we paid visits to his gallery in Sydney (in the beautiful QvB), and been fortunate enough to be able bring back limited, signed prints of his work.

These small images don’t do any real justice to the power of the work, you have to see them in their full size (1 meter across or bigger). So if you’re in Australia or the USA we’d very highly recommend going to a gallery and seeing for yourself.

When you look at flowers, often to you look real close to them, and see how beautiful they can be? Here are a few shots I’ve taken recently.

Interestingly enough, Peter Gabriel has been talking about the very samething in recent months in his ‘moon casts’ (see ww.petergabriel.com).

Having leafed through a photography magazine the other week I saw some interesting night photography. Now that I’ve gone digital, I thought it was about time I experiemented a bit more in this area – I used to be hesitant about such things given you can easily write off an entire roll of quality film and processing and get nothing.  

Anyway I’ve added a couple of photos showing my first attempts’ results.  

Finally, get someone else to drive when doing this sort of thing, so you can concentrate on taking the pictures.

A tree in Windsor Great Park with a dusting of Snow,   

With the snow this morning, I thought I’d try to quickly capture some pictures as I passed through Windsor’s Great Park. Although the snow in Windsor hasn’t been as heavy as it has in other areas – so not as pretty as it can be after a decent snow fall, it did nicely increased the contrast against the great oak trees.
