    Link – Does Sensor Size Matter?

    A video from The Slanted Lens Youtube channel abut sensor sizes compared. What does it really mean for your photo?

    It’s interesting as a talking point but at the end of the day these days it really doesn’t matter if you are an amateur/hobbyist photographer. You can get awesome pictures out of any camera.

    Pic of the Day – Urangan Pier

    A holiday snapshot from Urangan Pier, Hervey Bay.

    A popular fishing and tourist spot, at about 1.2km long it seemed to go on forever. Since the tide goes out a long way this pier will get you out towards the deep water for those massive fish everybody dreams about.

    Considering how bad this year has been, this has been a welcome break.

    This photo was taken last year on our big holiday around the center of Australia.

    Unfortunately, there was no clouds in the sky, so I have tried out Laminar 4 sky replacement feature. The sky is my photo has well.

    New Website Theme

    Today I have spent the day updating the website, hopefully making things a wee bit better.

    I am in the process of going through my images and rebuilding my image galleries, a long overdue project.

    I am also going to offer digital downloads, hopefully that won’t be too far into the future.

    Pic of the Day – Southern Cassowary

    The Southern Cassowary (Casuarius casuarius) is a large bird which can be found in Queensland, New Guinea and eastern Indonesia. They are secretive by nature so are hard to spot in the wild.

    This image was captured at David Fleay’s Wildlife Park. A great place to take the family out for a picnic.

    Anthony Morganti has presented an unbiased example of developing a Fujifilm raw file using both of the 2 most popular editors available today and demonstrates the shortcoming of each.

    Pic of the Day – Brisbane’s little Flat Iron

    Wandering around Brisbane a few months ago I came across this building, I immediately thought about the Flat Iron building in New York.

    While not as magnificent as the one in New York, this is as close as I am going to get to one.

    A walk around Brisbane CBD yesterday, just as many people with facemasks on as without.

    2020 is turning out to be a tough year, and a bad start to the decade down here in Australia.
