    Gabriella was excellent. She was patient with our lack of knowledge of our camera, as well as listening to the skills that we really wanted to learn. Despite differing skill levels she was able to teach both of us new things so that we can now go away confident of using our cameras. I was particularly appreciative of the notes which were easy to follow and well explained.

    Title or Location: Photo taken at Deep Creek, Carisbrook, Victoria, Australia.
    I went out to photograph the newly installed bird boxes along the creek. This beautiful scene came into view and I just had to stop and photograph it. The lighting was right, the colours amazing and the reflections so peaceful. I was in the right place at the right time. Deep creek is the same creek that, back in 2011, contributed to the flooding of our town and houses. A bittersweet creek.

The resulting standing water gives a great reflection in reverse.45mm 1/30 f4

    Title or Location: Christmas Boxer
    I was testing out a new backdrop that I purchased for a family mini Christmas shoot that I have coming up. I used to make my children be my models but since they are grown Zeus, my boxer, was such a good boy and was my model. This was shot on a Canon EOS 6D with the EF 24-105mm f/4L at 24mm, ISO 320, 1/160. I used two Alien B800 strobes with white umbrellas.
