About Me
Thanks for dropping by. Many of the pictures on this site are part of my passion for photographing birds.
I work mostly out at Woodlands Historic Park, and can found there a couple of times a week if the weather is kind.
My albums will eventually be classified into various themes.
The blog is just ongoing stuff that happens to intrigue me on the day.
The Recent Photos are images that are part of ongoing challenges.
Links will take you to other locations where I have photos and introduce you to some of the websites of some of my friends and colleagues..
OnLine Course takes you to a few online classes. Enjoy.
There is also a Glossary and a page for interesting areas to photograph along with some idea starters in Photo Adventures.
You are welcome to add some of your own. Photo Adventure locations
One of the wonderful things about photography is the way in which information is shared. I had the good fortune as a young photographer to be mentored by several great practitioners. Their insight, and encouragement in things both technical and aesthetic helped me expand my skills and seek new ideas. It also enabled me to look at my own work and learn from it.
“I am still on a learning curve, new techniques, new equipment and new processes all give us great ways to see our subject and then the opportunity to share those images in new ways. The iPad being the latest in our collection of image sharing devices.
“Now, I am in fortunate position to be able to pass on some of the things that have worked for me, some of things that still challenge me and to provide encouragement for any who want to improve their photographic vision.
“Look through the site, pick up things that are useful, perhaps drop me a note for any other questions. We can learn together. “
David is currently a Photographic Tutor with Centre for Adult Education, Melbourne. He has articles and photos contributed to a number of classic car and travel magazines.
He has been a photo trainer for over 25 years both locally and internationally.
"My enjoyment of the medium of photography is partly in the art, partly in the craft and all about being able to share what I see."
He also offers one-on-one tutorials, for those who want to learn the magic of photography in a supportive environment.
The world through my eyes
I used to envy the father of our race, dwelling as he did among the new made plants and fields of Eden.
But I do so no more.
For I have discovered that I also live in "creation's dawn".
The morning stars still sing together, and the earth, not yet half made,
becomes more beautiful everyday.
