I’ve just arrived back to Melbourne from Sydney. I was there all week for a sales and marketing meeting, but I went up on the Saturday and spent a wonderful evening with good friends. On Sunday, I spent the day with another good friend, we had lunch and took a drive through the northern beaches.…

I was struck by this scene, as we walked beneath the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The sky was completely grey and this beautiful fence stretched out along the path. I deliberately took the photo with the aperture wide open, so that the shot was slightly overexposed. Then, when editing in Lightroom, I bumped the exposure up…

I took these two photos in the same street, just a few meters apart, in Sydney, not far from the base of the Sydney Harbour Bridge which I photographed recently. Such a contrast between the dark and the light, the gritty and the pretty. We often see what we want to see. Shot with my…

This prompt came out while I was in Sydney, so how could I resist the stunning and statuesque curves of the Sydney Harbour Bridge? It seems to appear out of nowhere when you’re driving through the city. You catch glimpses of it all the time. I’m always excited to drive over it, as usually I…
Read MoreWelcome again to Image Reboot, a joint feature between Lucile (bridging lacunas) and myself (musings of a frequent flying scientist). Lucile asked me if I would write a monthly feature outlining what I’ve learnt about editing my photographs which I was honoured to do. I use LightRoom 5, I need to upgrade to version 6…
Read MoreI took this photo for Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab clinic. I was shooting the sunset over Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. It was pretty quiet, just a few people watching the sunset. Just as the light was fading, a busload of senior citizens arrived and they all came over to check out the sunset.…
Read MoreI posted recently some shots of sunset over the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House. After the sun had set, I left that location and decided to try another spot that my friend at work had suggested – Milson’s Point. On the way there, I drove past a stunning view so I pulled into a serendipitous carpark…

When I go to Sydney, I usually catch the last flight home. Mostly because it’s quite a cheap flight and saves the company some money and I also want to stick with my preferred airline. It works out nicely that Sydney city is on my way to the airport so I can stop off and…

To travel is to take a journey into yourself. – Danny Kaye. When I saw today’s prompt for the Weekly Photo Challenge (On The Way), where we are to present photos “of something you saw, did, or experienced on the way: photo not of your destination, but of an interesting thing along the way”, I…

I was in Sydney for work last week and one night, it was almost 7 before I got back from work, so did some googling and found a great spot to see the city, the bridge and even the Opera House. The light was fading and a storm was rolling in, so it was quite…

As the day draws to a close and the light begins to disappear, he climbs his rock and waits just near the edge. He shakes his head. What is he waiting for? His love has gone. Not coming back. No chance. But he can’t stop. This is their spot. This is where they found each…
