18/02/2010 Photographing with traditional film based products is certainly becoming a thing of the past, new comers into the world of photography and many professionals have made that transition over to digital a few years ago, digital camera technology now days has improved to a high level and we will see many more improvements to come with new models being released every year by the big manufacturers.

I believe film has much to offer us within the art of true photography which is why I still love to shoot on film for certain types of my photographic workflow the film process is very rewarding and when it comes to the lab processing I leave that to the professionals at Vision Image Lab in Sydney .Waiting to see your negatives or trannies come back from the lab is always exciting , viewing them on a light table to choose the images for further processing then taking those images to the final print. That process and feeling is something digital photography cannot even come close to capturing many pro photographers and enthusiast will agree,,long live film.

Summer can be a good time to capture nice seaside images and the Central Coast has so much to offer photographers, as light is the most important factor in photography you should try and visit a favorite location many times during sunrises , sunsets , mid mornings and afternoons and see the differing light ,shadows,clouds,colours and moods produced during those times of day.Many Landscape photographers are generally out shooting early mornings and early evenings to capture the softer subtle light and a greater array of colours that comes with the sun being low on the horizon so if you love your photography like me getting out of bed just before the sun comes up is exciting wondering what the sunrise will bring the more you go out shooting the greater chance you will have to capture those very special times.

Coming soon in 2010 I will be incorporating some new additions to my website included will be a shopping cart to purchase online in the meantime take a look at some of my beautiful new local landscapes I have captured during 2009 at Zenfolio & within my panoramic gallery all landscapes are open edition prints signed with edition number and certificate of authenticity and can be purchased now, if you wish to ask any questions or purchase prints please email me and I will get back to you with all details and costing.

1/12/09 I have been asked many times what cameras I use and why,, I shoot all my digital workflow on Nikon pro camera bodies and lenses my panoramic landscape workflow I shoot on a 617/120 roll film panoramic camera and a Hasselblad medium format film camera, I choose Nikon professional cameras for quality,performance and reliability I occasionally still use my old Nikon 35mm film cameras.Digital capture is ideal and practical for the majority of my commercial / product photography my landscape work I prefer the look and feel of film like many professional landscape photographers the other main advantage with medium format film you can achieve very large beautiful prints with stunning detail.

Digital cameras have advanced so much with image quality and resolution within the last few years and the current SLR pro models and entry level models are just superb like the Nikon D3S , D3X , D700 and D90 take a look at DP Review for all new and existing camera reviews,highly recommended
