Photographer in Perth, Western Australia
Camera Electronic is having a sale to celebrate Nikon’s 100th anniversary. The sale apparently lasts for 100 hours, and they are offering 15% off the price of most (or perhaps all) Nikon equipment. This could be well worth a look, if you are a Nikon shooter.
Selected First Tae Kwon Do Western Australian senior students underwent an intensive training session recently as they continued to prepare for their black belt grading examinations. It was a cold day, but all managed to demonstrate the determination and skills they have been developing over several years of martial art training. I was shooting with… Continue reading July 2017 action
Master Vernon Low visited Perth recently to conduct the winter grading examination for members of First Tae Kwon Do Western Australia. Apart from the many candidates for testing in the coloured belt ranks, there were two candidates for Junior Black Belt rank, and both undertook their examinations successfully. Breaking, or destruction, is a key part… Continue reading June 2017 action

Many people would probably consider the Bible to be a largely historical book. Depending on their particular point of view, they might also consider it to be a largely (or wholly) mythical book. But what does the Bible say about itself? There are many verses on that subject, but today, a day on which we traditionally remember Christ’s… Continue reading Easter 2017
Camera Electronic is currently advertising double cash back offers on selected Nikon bodies, lenses, and kits. Some of these are not particularly good value, in my view—for example, the latest Nikkor 70–200 mm f/2.8 zoom lens still costs more than $3,000 after cash back. Most of the offers seem reasonable, if you have had some specific… Continue reading Nikon double cash back offers in April 2017
Stormy weather and temporary problems with hall lighting did not get in the way of First Tae Kwon Do Western Australia’s recent grading examination. With only limited time available to shoot, I still managed to capture some action. Bearing in mind that these are not posed scenes, I was pleased with the composition of the… Continue reading March 2017 action
Earlier this week, I conducted a photography workshop for First Tae Kwon Do Western Australia. There are several photographers in the FTKD WA community who give generously of their time and energy to contribute pictures, many of which appear on FTKD WA’s Facebook site and FTKD WA’s Instagram site. This workshop was an opportunity to go… Continue reading February 2017 photography workshop
First Tae Kwon Do held a special grading examination in Perth recently, with one candidate undergoing the test for 1st Dan black belt. Following a rigorous programme of breaking, sparring, patterns, and self-defence techniques, she was promoted by Master Vernon Low. For the photographs above, I shot with my Nikon D700 and Nikkor 70–200 mm f/2.8… Continue reading February 2017 action
