Shooting Car Light Trails
Week 26′s image was captured above Brisbane’s Riverside Expressway from an overpass. Adding the interest of car light trails into your landscapes may seem like a hard task but with the correct equipment and planning you will be hooked on it. The idea behind this post is to explain the process and give you a few pointers as to what locations work best.

5 Minute Challenge + Baby News
You don’t always have to drive for hours to capture an interesting photo. Sometimes a great shot is on your doorstep. Most of the photos from this year have required at least a 20 minute drive, with many a good hours drive away from home. This weeks image however was taken within 5 minutes walk of my house.

Hugin Panorama Software
This week I came across a great bit of software called Hugin, for panorama stitching. Other than being a very powerful stitching program its 100% free. It is avaliable for Windows, Mac and Linux in both 32 and 64 bit OS.

Lower that ISO
Whilst I have shot the Brisbane city skyline at night many times before, this week I wanted to test the performance of my Canon 40D in regards to ISO settings. This post will be about how to test the ISO on your camera. These types of test are a great way to learn the limits your camera has so that when you are out in the field you can select the best settings for your gear.

Always have a camera with you
Ever been somewhere and thought “Gee that would make a great photo. Pity I don’t have my camera with me”, and then dismissed the opportunity. In today’s world this is something we shouldn’t need to say…

Shoot the finer details
So how often do you swap your wide angel lens for a prime or macro lens when you are out on location? Capturing the small details that make up the larger picture can be a great way to tell the entire story of an amazing landscape.

Work your location
When arriving on the location of a great landscape waiting to be captured, it is important to work out the key features and start to work out different possible angles and compositions. This means it really does pay to arrive early and leave late.
