23.01.2022 Last weekend I worked on a project with The Salvation Army, taking photos of some of their shelters and the wonderful work that they are doing around Darwin. These images will be used to promote the Salvation Army around Darwin and their National news letter and try to encourage some national funding as Darwin tends to be left out at times. Thanks to Sarah Roberts for this opportunity. I will post some pictures soon.

19.01.2022 Territory Transit Photo shoot.

19.01.2022 So I submitted a portfolio to Australian Institute of Professional Photography (AIPP) to gain my professional accreditation, got the results back today. I am now an accredited AIPP photographer. Folio Submission Feedback Feedback for Folio Submission from 14 Feb 2016, 5:41 p.m. towards Emerging Membership... Thank you for submitting your folio for review. Here are your results and feedback on each image. Congratulations! A majority of the reviewers have passed your folio. Reviewer 1: Pass (score of 90%) HI Dave. Your bird images are really great and I made a few comments on a couple of landscapes which are good compositionally but I believe ned a bit of post processing to get maximum impact from the image. The bride image seems a bot random in this nature/landscpae dominated folio and I think this image is the weekest mainly due to the close crop. Stick to your strengths and work on getting punch into the landscape image and your work will soar. Get involved with teh NT AIPP Chapter as having a good group of professionals will give you inspiration with your work. Reviewer 2: Fail (score of 50%) I've given fairly detailed comments on each image, but I need to address some technical issues that are a problem more or less across the board: 1) lack of detail on close inspection. Virtually none of the images are truely sharp. There is also some ghosting in fine detail. You can sometimes get away with these problems in environmental portraiture but not landscape or wildlife. I suspect that there is a lens problem here: cheap lenses or maybe old film lenses mounted on digital bodies? 2) Artefacts, most likely caused by a jpeg workflow. If you look at the fine detail of many of these images you can see clumpy grain, or uniform "digital" grain with a criss-cross pattern or newton rings. Note that working an image in jpeg causes a loss of tonal range. If you open, work, and close images multiple times in jpeg, you have a loss of image information each time due to the compression algorithm. The problems I'm seeing are consistent with this. I suggest you adopt a RAW workflow, exporting and saving to PSD or at least TIFF until the image is completely finished. Reviewer 3: Pass (score of 85%) More often than not you let your focus point dictate your composition. It doesn't have to be. Practice locking in the focus by pressing the shutter button half way down then quickly running your eye around the edges of the frame and recomposing before pressing the little button all the way down.
