Musings of a displaced Australian Photographer in Seattle, USA
I’ve known about this vantage point for a couple of months now and was really waiting for just the right weather and light to come out and shoot it. I wanted a fine day with some fluffy clouds, and some nice soft light on the city buildings. Sunday was it. I woke up, “saw the...
It’s always fun to bring back a series, if only for a moment, especially one that’s close to home and one I really enjoyed putting together! New to the series? No worries! You can catch up right here. I was looking through the images from the underground I posted a while back and saw a couple...
I’d had another snowy image lined up for today hot on the heels of yesterday’s post but instead, and quite randomly, this image wants to be posted. I shot this downtown a couple of weeks ago, flipped past it on import many times, and it wasn’t until tonight that it actually caught my eye. I...

An image I blogged about a couple of weeks ago featured a rather unique scene of the Seattle skyline. Typically, this isn’t something that you get to see very often, let alone in the dead of winter because odds are good it’s going to be overcast. If you look back at the image from the...
One of the key takeaways for me from my work last year was that a fair majority of my work was done with my wide angle lens. Even though it’s an incredible lens, it’s restrictive in what it can do. At it’s longest focal length, even the largest objects look small in the background. But...
