Red Carpet Fashion Parade Teaser – Booval

The inaugural Red Carpet Fashion Parade is less than two weeks away (and tickets are now on sale). I was invited along to the Oz Night Markets in Booval for a preliminary “teaser” session with some of the designers and a small sample of the models (there will be 50 models on the night) strutting their stuff.  Here are some of my favourite shots from tonight :

 

Hervey Bay Sunrise & Sunset

I was able to spend a few days in Hervey Bay and got a number of sunrise/sunset timelapses done (still processing), and some Pooch Photos – but also took a few hand held low light shots as well :

 

Story Bridge 75 – People – Jul 2015

July 6th 2015 saw the 75th Birthday of the opening of Brisbane’s Story Bridge – and was celebrated by closing the bridge for the day and allowing 75,000 Brisbanites  the rare opportunity to to walk over it and enjoy food and entertainment.

The bridge was inundated with all types of people from all walks of life, and presented a fabulous opportunity for Street Photography… Here are some of my favourite “people” shots :

 

Story Bridge 75 – Food – Jul 2015

July 6th 2015 saw the 75th Birthday of the opening of Brisbane’s Story Bridge – and was celebrated by closing the bridge for the day and allowing 75,000 Brisbanites  to walk over it and enjoy food (from Eat Street markets) and entertainment (from Hit105 and a variety of live entertainment).

The food was definitely one of the features of the day with dozens of food stalls setup by Eat Street Market vendors… Here are some of my favourite “food” shots :

Story Bridge 75 – Infrastructure – Jul 2015

July 6th 2015 saw the 75th Birthday of the opening of Brisbane’s Story Bridge – and was celebrated by closing the bridge for the day and allowing 75,000 Brisbanites  the rare opportunity to to walk over it and enjoy food and entertainment.

It was also a rare opportunity for photographers to get architecture photos of the bridge from angles that would not normally be possible…. Here are some of my favourite “infrastructure” shots :

 

Wellington Point Sunrise – Mar 2015

I’ve been meaning to get down to Wellington Point again for a sunrise… but just hadn’t got around to it… Finally this  weekend I got a chance – and after a false start on Saturday morning (too many clouds)… Sunday turned out to be OK… Not the prettiest sunrise – but definitely worth the effort of getting up at 4:45 in the morning…

Indian Wedding – Feb 2015

Although I have done Wedding Photoshoots in the past (mostly for friends)…I normally avoid Wedding Photography like the plague.

However, in this instance, I was asked to help a friend cover an Indian Wedding for a young couple, as a second shooter (mostly for moral support really)… and I did actually (mostly) enjoy the shoot and got some shots I was pretty happy with…  Here is a selection of some of my favourites from the day…

Brisbane GIS Day – Oct 2014

I was invited to take photos for the Brisbane GIS Day.… part of the annual International GIS Day celebrations to promotes Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and its associated spatial technologie.

The Brisbane event (thanks largely to the efforts of GISPeople – and the Sponsors and Exhibnitiro they have encouraged to be involved) is the largest in the world.  It brings together people from throughout Australia – school kids, uni students, professionals, businesses and everyone in between – to showcase the exciting future of spatial technology.

Below are some of my favouyrite shots from the day : (I am also finalising some timelapses – so watch this space :))

 

Stanthorpe Photo Tour – Oct 2014

Just back from an exhilarating (and exhausting) Photo Tour of Stanthorpe and Girraween National Park.  I have now caught up on sleep, but not (yet) had a chance to do much processing of all the photos I took (47Gb, 7,000ish photos – including 8 timelapses).

I guided a great bunch of people (thanks Cristy, Jay, Joyce, Kerri, Steven… and even of course Tere) through some of my favourite photo spots in SE Qld.  We left Brisbane early on the Friday morning, via Moogereah Dam and Killarney and spent the weekend around Stanthorpe/Ballandean and Girraween National Park, befiore arriving back home in Brisbane Sunday afternoon.

It was a hectic, action packed, tiring, but fabulous opportunity to shoot a wide variety of styles at lots of different planned locations including :

  • Lake Moogerah
  • Carrs Lookout
  • Queen Mary Falls
  • Stanthorpe Rail Bridge
  • Ballandean Star Trails
  • Storm King Dam Sunrise
  • Girraween National Park

With a few extra “impromptu” Locations as well along the way, such as

  • Roadside Hut
  • Undercliffe Falls
  • Lavendar Farm

… and some great timelapse opportunities too :

  • Carrs Lookout
  • Ballandean Star Trails (x 3)
