From Melbourne – the city as you have never seen it!
This has been a project that has been 18 months in the making. I moved to Melbourne by choice in 2007, and have made it my home. I have gone through the different phases of moving to a new nation and city, and making a new home, and over time, I have come to appreciate it [...]
Life’s a Beach
Melbourne is consistently ranked among the world’s most livable cities. If you were to ever visit any of the inner city’s beaches in the early morning, it would provide some indication of why life is so good in this amazing city. This time-lapse video was shot over several weekends starting in 2012, and had been [...]
Moomba 2013 in time-lapse
Every year, over the Labour Day 3-day weekend holiday in March, Melbourne celebrates its up and coming regional arts scene with a carnival. There are lots of rides, the opportunities for youngsters to take on some extreme sports, families to have a good time while being entertained by up and coming local artists, and [...]
Cape Schanck in Time Lapse
On March 10th 2013, I led a group of photography enthusiasts to Cape Schanck. Our object was to photograph Pulpit Rock and the Cape Schanck Lighthouse. I also captured a little time-lapse footage. I spent over an hour to capture under 4 seconds of footage… but the experience was totally worth it! Cape Schanck lies at [...]
White Night in Time-Lapse
On February 23rd 2013, the city of Melbourne hosted a party that was the first of its kind for its locals. Following in the spirit of Paris, Montreal and several other cities in the world, the city powered up its lights from 7pm to 7am in celebration of White Night – a cultural event where [...]
Tasmania in Time Lapse
It is the land of the Devil… the Tasmanian Devil, that is. Yet, it is a little slice of heaven on earth. It is rugged and beautiful; it is pristine and raw. As the marketing commercial says, it is a world apart, not away. Tasmania is Australia’s smallest state, separated from the mainland by Bass Strait. [...]
The Sydney Aquarium
Just a short video that I shot while I was visiting Sydney at the Sydney Aquarium. Footage here was shot with a Sony HDR-PRJ10 full HD camcorder which does an excellent job f or what it is designed for. No tripods were used in the making of this video. All footage was shot handheld. The [...]
The first lovely weekend of Spring
Spring is finally here in Melbourne, and the weather this weekend has been spectacular. I had headed down to Silvan on Saturday afternoon for a brief gander at the Tesselaar Tulip Festival. I was curious about what all the to-do about the festival was all about. It turns out that the Tesselaar Tulip Festival is held at [...]
A Melbourne Evening
After a week of pretty spectacular winter weather, it finally all changed in Melbourne with the rains sweeping in. I left work a little early to get a haircut, and decided to take a few shots in the city on a Friday evening as I walked across to meet my appointment. Friday evenings have [...]
A morning walk to Melbourne
This is a follow-up from my daily image from last night. In the past few weeks, my biological clock has adapted to allowing me to wake up early with fairly little effort. As a bi-product of this somewhat fortuitous change in my daily routine, it has allowed me to witness every sunrise in the past six [...]
Astro: Time Lapse + Motion Control — a Kickstarter project
Those of you who are close to me know that I have a love for time-lapse photography. I have been looking for a cost-effective panning and motion control solution. I happened to stumble across the Astro – a project on Kickstarter where two young men are going about designing a simple intervalometer and motion controller [...]
Drive Lapse – making it to a sunrise shoot
The first rule of landscape photography is to be there. As much as I love photography, the hardest part is making it to a location to catch the right light. This is a fun little video that I put together from a segment that I caught using my GoPro which I had mounted on [...]
