Hi all, just a quick update on what's been going on in life. I've recently moved to Hamilton Island, a remote island more than 1000km north of Brisbane. You might have seen a couple of the photos I've uploaded, however you've probably also noticed that I've been a whole lot less active. This is because I'm working quite long hours and also the internet speed here is pretty pathetic, which makes loading dA pages with high-quality pictures a nightmare, and makes uploading even more of a nightmare. Nonetheless, there is a heap of photography to be done here, from the landscapes, to the wildlife, and particularly the marine life (Hamilton Island

Brisbane, my home of the past 8 months, is Australia's third-largest city and the state capital of Queensland. Compared to its more famous southern cousins Sydney and Melbourne, it is somewhat of a "forgotten" city, although I have certainly enjoyed photographing it (a pursuit which earned my my first Daily Deviation). Here is a small feature of some of the better Brisbane cityscape photographs on this website. :thumb194714468: :thumb61293948: :thumb206806334: :thumb308621920: :thumb284600919: :thumb281568753: :thumb281726789: :thumb267314471: :thumb94571364: Shameless self-promotion: :thumb284415462: :thumb289057626: :thumb303254112

I have recently gotten into sports photography, and have made a Facebook page for my sports photos: One Five Hundredth Sports Imaging. The name is a reference to the shutter speed that you have to use for sports to prevent motion blur. https://www.facebook.com/One.Five.Hundredth Mostly I will be shooting Queensland Cup rugby league games, as rugby league is my favourite sport. However I will also shoot other sports events from time to time.
