22.01.2022 >> 5. Are there any special equipment you use such as lens, filters etc.? I have a lot of professional gear and I no longer see it as good advice to list it. I recommend you focus entirely on the best quality tripod you can afford and the sharpest lens you can afford. Your tripod needs to be rock solid in all terrains and weather conditions, rarely are you working with shutter speeds faster than the handheld rule 1/125 no blur. I believe that a great lens on an ok camera is b...etter than an ok lens on a great camera. This comes back to my comment above, in that you have to master your camera not continually keep buying more expensive equipment in the search for better photos. Build your knowledge with cameras from crawling to sprinting rather than trying to start sprinting. One particular item you should have in your kit is a set of Graduated Neutral Density filters (2 stop hard and 3 stop soft to begin with). See more

16.01.2022 A crisp winters afternoon sunset at Victoria Point, did you know that the blue colour you see when looking east at sunset (or opposite to the sun i.e. in the eastern sky at dusk and in the western sky at dawn) is called Earth's Shadow. The band is the shadow of the Earth on the atmosphere. As the sun sets/or rises the curvature of the earth creates a void of the unlit atmosphere. @redlandcouncil @redlandscoast @queensland #earthsshadow #earthshadow #beltofvenus #pinksunset #pinksunset #pinksunsets #wilsonstreetreserve #victoriapointreserve #mackleayisland #moretonbay #moretonbaysunset #queensland #victoriapoint #watersedge

10.01.2022 The final question from Kirsten >> 6. Do you keep the post processing of an image to a minimal just to keep the originality of the photograph? When you master grads in the field with the camera you will find little post processing is needed, the originality is just there. However gone are the days of limiting the thinking that in camera is the only way, as like anything there are limitations with graduated filters (i.e. try and take a photo of a light house with a graduated ...filter on). I say you use post processing to your advantage and disregard the notion that it is a crime to maximize highlight and shadows in Photoshop. Definitely skill up with Photoshop or Lightroom. I hope everyone has enjoyed the sharing of these questions. Cheers Chad

04.01.2022 Merry Christmas all, only 5 sleeps to go :D Here is a sunset shot from Byron Bay back in September, still my most favourite place to photograph, especially on low tide.
03.01.2022 >> 4. When capturing a particular scene, what key settings do you use to get a great outcome to the image taken? I find this question is looking about the process the wrong way. You use the settings to take the picture you are trying to capture. What you first need to know are the limitations of your camera equipment. If my lens is un-sharp at f22 due to diffraction then I avoid going to this setting (key word being avoid, f18 and f22 are still settings I use but I understand... the influence this has on the output), The important thing to understanding is that every landscape scene is different, the settings I used one day won’t work the next because the light has changed. If I were to reveal a process it would be start at a low ISO first, then start at f14-16 aperture, adjust shutter speed to get the correct exposed shot, re-evaluate creatively which direction you want to head in and adjust either f-stop or shutter accordingly. If you can't get the shot, then start upping the ISO. See more
