How to use the "black-card technique" to improve your long exposure landscape images

Hi guys, I had a lot of people asking me about the black-card technique recently, so I decided to make a short how-to video about it using the amazing Wyadup beach as a backdrop.
It's my first ever video so please excuse the crappy sound quality :)

Cowaramup Bay - North Point

The rocky "North Point" of Cowaramup Bay is a great place for photographers. There's lots of break, swirls, amazing rock formations and patterns on the rocks and not to mention a stunning piece of coastline to the north and south...

The Lady

This Weekend was pretty crappy... lots of rain and storms - but unfortunately not the photogenic kind, so I didn't get a chance to go out and take many pictures... I felt terrible and so Monday after work, I took a quick shower, grabbed my gear and headed West toward the Sea...

Bunker Bay! Or Sugarloaf Rock?!

Okay, now before you get too confused about the title of this blog post, here's the story:

Hazy Gracetown Sunset

The Northcliffe bushfires have covered the area in smoke all day long, but the real spectacle began about one hour before sunset when the whole sky turned orange and the sun itself turned into a fierce red ball of fire. Simply amazing!

So I spontaneously grabbed all my gear and headed to Gracetown for a few shots... smile emot

The Cape-To-Cape Track - Part 1: Cape Naturaliste to Injidup Beach

The Cape to Cape track is a 135 kilometer long walk along the cape region of Southwest Western Australia. It connects the Cape Naturaliste in the North with Cape Leeuwin in the south and leads through a versatile Landscape that offers almost everything...

Silent Sentries

68sec, f/11, ISO 100, 16mm, (B+W ND3.0 MRC) using the black-carding technique to darken the sky

Despite multiple visits to this quiet place, I always get inspired and amazed by the sight of these trees in the middle of the Margaret River.

Hamelin Harmony

What a start in the new year! Oh, and happy new year to you all!! :)

Since we've been very(very!) busy in the last days of 2014 with planning, renovating and moving into our new place I haven't gotten the chance to take any pictures before the end of the year. So to turn things around a little bit, I headed down south to Hamelin Bay on the evening of Januray 1st to enjoy and photograph the first sunset of the year(I could have done the first sunrise but that normally involves getting up and unreasonable hours ;) )
