Onexposure is a photoblog with a difference. The idea behind it is both interesting and problematic. Basically, how it works is this. You join, submit a photo, and if the powers that be think it is good enough, it goes up on the blog under a category. The idea behind this is clearly to [...]
It’s time to blow my own trumpet.. Two of my photograhs were awarded at the 2007 Canon Australian Professional Photography Awards just a few weeks back. One, entitled Feet First was awarded a Silver with Distinction, and the other, Reflection got a Silver award. Competing directly against professional photographers across Australia, I must admit [...]
If you don’t know this photographer, go and have a look at his web site. Erwin Olaf is a Dutch photographer & film maker, who produces brilliant, top-end advertising work for his living, and does equally spectacular art photography as his personal work. I went to one of his touring exhibitions last year entitled [...]
Personally I can’t think of one good reason to put photography and God together in the same sentence, and so in the course of this post I’m going to explain why.
There are no doubt, more than a few famous photographers (one in particular comes to mind – the Australian landscape photographer, Ken Duncan) [...]
I wish I was going… It’s in Melbourne next weekend. If you’ve never heard of it, PMA Australia 2007 is a huge imaging technology expo, and being held in conjunction with it this year are the AIPP national awards. I have entered a few prints and hopefully I will be able to repeat my [...]
This leads directly from my last post, as I got to thinking more about the idea that the framework (the website) is not nearly as influential to the way we look at and discuss photography as the user. Certainly the Internet and the overflow of digital imagery that we are now experiencing has a [...]
If you don’t know, UPDIG stands for UNIVERSAL PHOTOGRAPHIC DIGITAL IMAGING GUIDELINES. This is a set of guidelines developed for digital imaging by the UPDIG Working Group, descibed on their website as “A working group of digital imaging professionals and allied trade groups and manufacturers, dedicated to promoting worldwide standards in the commercial application [...]
Photography is not a poor man’s hobby. It can be of course, but it’s one of those things that the more money you throw at it, the better the image quality becomes. That says nothing of technical or artistic merit fortunately, as that’s where the poor man can have his revenge on the wealthy [...]
I’d forgotten about this. I downloaded it last year, meaning to read it, but never got to it, and then forgot. But if you have a Canon digital camera and a flash unit, then this article is definitely for you. I’d imagine it would have to be the most comprehensive guide to Flash photography [...]
Just to show I’m not anti Canon (ha ha, that sounds like a space weapon doesn’t it), I ran across this publication on the net and it looks really good. It’s a largish pdf (7.6MB), aimed at the professional digital EOS shooter. That’s a pretty big target market, and I’m sure a lot of [...]
