Wanted: new travelling companion!

So I’m raving all about how this would be a great place to try some Astro photography if we came back on a clear night, and how if we stayed until sunrise we could try a silhouette, and maybe the morning light would skim across the cliffs and show up the folds in the landscape, and there is some really unique flora here so I could bring the macro lens and...
Roger looks at me and says “I don’t quite share your enthusiasm”! 🤔🤭🙄

I sometimes get to take photos that are not for a client. These were taken at home on the weekend when my daughter celebrated her birthday with friends, making kokedamas.

The last time I used this background in the studio it was to photograph young people for Headspace.
Margaret has sixty more years under her belt than those whipper-snappers, but gee she makes a good portrait.

School holidays is a good time to get some stock photos of teenagers. These three friends all go to different schools, so it was a nice excuse for them to get together for a picnic and a hike on the Collie-Darkan Rail Trail. Some of the photos will be used to promote the Rail Trail, and others will be available for licensing on the #austockphoto website.

Some more photos from a day on the water at Lake Argyle.

I travelled north to visit my daughter in the Kimberley for a week. But I ended up staying two weeks, after my return flight from Kununurra was cancelled. The highlight of my trip was a day spent on Lake Argyle, on a barbecue pontoon. We could float about on the lake, visiting different islands and parts of the lake.

I’m looking for somewhere to hang this beauty! It is a display piece for the new studio - a great big 45”x30” canvas with box frame in oak. I just couldn’t stop looking at it when it was first unwrapped, because the colours and the texture of the canvas just seem to make it come alive.

You see that little softbox is a bit wonky? That’s because it got flattened by the reflector panel behind it, which fell over when some wind got into the studio.
The second picture is the stash of studio lighting gear I’ve just unpacked (the four light stands and counterweight for the boom arm aren’t shown, and the umbrellas and soft boxes are folded up in black bags). I bought it from a retired photographer and it cost a small fortune to get shipped from Sydney, but it is more than what I would have bought if I’d gone for new stuff.
Now I just have to work out how to put it all together! And then test it out... #elinchromlighting #manfrotto #studiolighting #photostudiosetup #wheatbeltphotographer

Hugh and his mates had a great weekend riding. Saturday was practice day for the WA Gravity Enduro event at Evedon Park in the Ferguson Valley. I wasn’t able to be there on Sunday for the race, but I had a relaxing morning on Saturday having coffee and chats on the deck overlooking the lake at #evedonlakesideretreat #wagravityenduro

I don’t help out on the farm as much as I used to, because we have a pretty good work crew when the kids are home. So it’s a change to have some time in the sheepyards, mainly recording data this time. I’m failing miserably at pushing up rams for crutching though - not game to get in the pen with them anymore!

Bonnie’s 20th birthday weekend. She organised for everyone to make their own kokedamas, so each of the girls had something to take home with them. Bon has a really great group of friends - some from school, some from Ag college, and some she has worked with. It was a pleasure to have such lovely young women stay at our place for the weekend.

It is lovely to have Sophie home, even if it is only for a few days; and even if she didn’t want me to photograph her beautiful black eye.

This is what an awesome day on Lake Argyle starts

This is what an awesome day on Lake Argyle starts out like. Sophie’s boss hired a bbq pontoon, and we floated on the lake all day. There were standup paddle boards towed behind, an insane amount of food, and good music (even if someone doesn’t like ABBA!)

Scroll to last photo to see how the day ends 🥺😳🤬

Yesterday Sophie was given the afternoon off work

Yesterday Sophie was given the afternoon off work so she could accompany me on a little bit of sightseeing on Home Valley Station. Best bit was I actually got a photo of me!
Later the little girls asked me if the donkey had bitten me - they assured me it bites, so I’m glad I didn’t know that at the time or I wouldn’t have got so close!
