Photo Tours and Workshops

During May, I have participated in two workshops run by a Melbourne based professional landscape photographer, Mark Gray. I wanted to hone my picture taking skills before heading off on my trip to the Arctic and I am very happy with the amount that I learnt and the photos that I took.

On both days, Mark took a small group of six people to some very scenic spots and gave us ample time to photograph and experiment with our technique. His technical sessions were good and his personal coaching helped me to improve my skills.

We spent one day in the Dandenongs taking photos of autumn colours and the second day at various places around Melbourne.

Activities Around The Turn of the 20th Century – Part One

It’s another hot day (44C) with strong winds and many bush fires burning throughout the state.  It seems a bit surreal checking my emergency app and listening to the radio messages telling people to evacuate from many places. I’m keeping cool again with the air-con on and following up my post of Old Mebourne with […]

Old Melbourne – Using AI

On a day when it is 41C (107F) the best thing to do is to sit in an air conditioned room, watch the cricket and find a low energy activity. I’ve found that the State Library of Victoria has an extensive collection of historic photos and my photo editing software has an AI capability of […]
