Photographer in Perth, Western Australia

Here are some recent action photographs, all shot at f/2. The first six were at ISO1600 or ISO3200, and the effects of the fluorescent lighting are noticeable between frames. The next four photographs were shot at ISO1600, but in a different venue. It was easier to achieve consistent colour across frames for this second group… Continue reading March 2015 action
Here’s a selection of photographs that I’ve shot in low light over the past few years. The action pictures are all with prime lenses, and generally at ISO800 or higher.

Initially, I’ll concentrate… Continue reading Welcome
