Sunset Over Melbourne
Managed to snap this shot just after exiting the city loop tunnel heading towards Richmond Station. I reckon it’s not bad for a cameraphone shot through a moving train window.. 😉
An Evening at Cardinia
Donna and I have found that you can go to Cardinia Reservoir fairly late (currently last entry is 8pm and you have to be out by 9pm) and have a picnic there and watch the kangaroos wandering around. Very relaxing!
Melbourne CBD Photo Walk, New Years Day, 2011
On the 1st January Donna and I went and walked around Melbourne’s CBD to take photos, here’s some of the best from that trip:
Abandoned House – Llanelly
Photos from an abandoned house in Llanelly (Victoria, not Llanelli in Wales!) taken in 2007.
Canterbury Photo Walk
These are the best of my photos from the photowalk that Donna and I did around Canterbury in Melbourne on December 28th 2010.
A Lensbaby at the National Rhododendron Gardens
A few weeks back Donna and myself went up to the National Rhododendron Gardens at Olinda on Mount Dandenong and did some photography. Here’s some of my better shots from that day taken with my Nikon D90 and Lensbaby 2.0.
Relicensed All My Flickr Photos – Please Reuse!
After some thinking I’ve decided that my previous choice of the Creative Commons “attribution, non-commercial use, share-alike” (BY-NC-SA) license doesn’t really square with my feelings on free-software and culture in general, so I’ve taken the plunge and relicensed all my photos on Flickr under a simple Creative Commons attribution (BY) license. This means you can reuse any of my photos for any purpose, whether you make Linux distributions, want to make a collage, are looking for media for an advertisment, anything. I’d really get a buzz if you do use them, all I ask is that you credit me.
Here’s a couple of examples (there’s over 500 there as I write this!):
Software Freedom Day Melbourne Photo Shoot
Last week I was invited to take some publicity shots for the Software Freedom Day Melbourne crew at the State Library of Victoria Experimedia centre. Asides from occasional complaints from my camera (the infamous Nikon ERR CHA happened 3 times) I managed to get about 200 shots which I’ve whittled down to 26 of the best and put them up as a set on Flickr.
All done with free software (well, asides from the firmware in the Nikon D90) – Digikam rocks! 😉
Making Meaning – Exhibition of Photography
Making Meaning is an exhibition of figurative, abstract and photographic works by my lovely wife Donna Williams and myself, Chris Samuel. We spent about 4 hours today at The Bakery, part of the 1812 Theatre in Upper Ferntree Gully in Melbourne setting it up whilst the crew of the 1812 finished off creating a set for their next production and distracting me with coffee and cake. 🙂
Our exhibition runs from the 5th August to the 4th September on theatre time, which is (as our flyer says):
Wed-Sat: 8.30–11pm,
Sun: 4–6.30pm then 8.30-11pm (except 22nd Aug)
As a sneak preview here is the layout of my photography:

Thanks again to the 1812 crew for making us feel welcome and at home and even feeding us lunch!
