Don’t miss out on your chance to win. At this stage you have a one in fifty chance of a prize. Better than the odds for lotto. At midnight tonight the competition will close and I will instruct the judges to start scoring at their earliest convenience. Good luck everyone who has or will enter. It has been a great competition and hope to make it bigger and better next year.
Thanks guys and gals!
With only 239 people entering this competition so far the odds of picking up a prize are pretty good. Now if you think you have the goods, $50 is a pittance to pay for an awesome prize. Remember you have to be in it to win it and the judges want to see something unusual, different or just bloody brilliant. Go for it before it is too late.

Thats right. We have someone drop out for this exciting workshop on the Apple Isle. It is going to fill pretty quickly so if you can make it let Nick know now. Nick Rains Photography
The Bunker Bay workshop we held in January was very well received and we got a lot of excellent feedback. Nick and I thought long and hard about where to hold a follow-up event and I knew that Freycinet Lodge in Tasmania would be perfect. It’s a terrific hotel, it’s on the coast and the wonderful Freycinet Peninsula is right on its doorstep. What’s not to like about that!
A full itinerary can be seen here
Cost is $995 per person and includes Morning and afternoon tea as well as lunch on both days.
Dates: December 4 & 5 2010
What an amazing 2 days. You and Christian work so well together. It was great watching you bounce ideas of each other. It was fantastic that two such amazingly talented photographers are willing to share so much. I was expecting a lot of shooting ideas and help and I certainly got that. But what I gained from the talks on Lightroom and Photoshop just blew me away. You both have so much enthusiasm and are able to pass on so much knowledge in a fun and very easy to listen to style. I was never overwhelmed by the immense amount of information you both gave. My brain is in a spin and I can’t wait to put it all into practice. The only complaint (a good one) is the shopping list has reach $1000 and is climbing. I can’t wait for all my goodies to arrive.
Please let me know if you and Christian are joining forces again. I bow to the masters and thank you so much.

Don’t forget your entries into the Landscape 500
So far we have only 200 entries so that is pretty good odds. Remember even if you don’t win every photo is scored by the 4 judges. It is a great way to find out just exactly how your images are rated by four of the best in the industry. Nick Rains, Tom Putt, Peter Eastway and David Evans. Between them there are decades of knowledge.
Attached is a photo of an old ute I found inland from Noosa. I gave myself a task, photograph something that could have been shot years ago and make it look like it! Think it worked ?
This is a photo that could be entered into the competition.
What a Dicky name! I took this pic late one arvo the day before the workshop was due to start. The tide was pretty high so the wreck wasn’t that impressive. Nice beach though. Phase one P65+ 645DF 45mm lens.
Nick Rains and I held our Noosa workshop over the weekend and it was a fantastic couple of days. Thanks to everyone who attended. You were a great group of people and obviously had a sense of humour as you laughed at most of our jokes. Nick impressed with his brilliant knowledge on all things technical and I impressed with the amount of cakes one person could eat. If you want to see some photos from the event have a look at Nicks website here.
Some of the kind words we have received so far from the attendees -
The major factor in making this workshop a success was the interaction between Nick and Christian and the way they were able to deliver information from a different perspective. I feel this enhanced the learning experience. They are both personable and more than willing to impart their expertise.
With Janelle and the staff of Eumarella Shores working in the background, providing food and drinks of the first order, this workshop lacked nothing.
A few workshops we have attended continued the hard sell to attend additional events. There was none of that here and that was a pleasant surprise and much appreciated.
The bottom line is, was this value for money, the answer, YES. Whether you are an experienced photographer and PS user or relatively inexperienced, your photography and image making will improve attending one of their workshops.
Thoroughly enjoyable. – Mark and Rosie Hopgood
As one of the lucky participants in this workshop, I just want to say a great big thank you to Nick, Christian, Janelle and the people at Eumarella Shores – and of course to the other workshop attendees – for making this such a great event. Everyone took away bucketloads of information and inspiration from the two days – I have pages and pages of notes and a memory card full of photos that I’ll be going through for some time to come. Unfortunately some of us also took away a few extra kilos around the midriff – the food was spot-on.
It’s one thing for experts like Nick and Christian to simply impart some of their knowledge, but to do it in such a friendly, open and encouraging way is what makes workshops like this far more than worth the price of admission.
To anyone considering attending one of Nick and Christian’s workshops, all I can say is DO IT!
Bob Simpson
So thank you once again, it was lovely to meet you all and look forward to catching up some time in the near future. If you are ever in the Whitsundays don’t be a stranger!
Cheers

What a fabulous week-end! I would sincerely like to thank you both, Janelle and all the other attendees for such a wonderful opportunity for me to re-connect with my own photography again. You both were so very generous with sharing information and helping us all to develop our skills to take photographs and process our images. Although I realised at the workshop I was more competent than I initially thought with regard to processing images, there were a few ‘light bulb moments’ which have now enabled me to address some issues which were hindering me from creating the images I want. I now have the tools and understanding to overcome these hurdles and am very excited about diving into my photography again. Instruction was exemplary and the venue absolutely perfect in relation to accommodation, tuition space and taking photographs. The food was amazing. Pity I’ll have to swim a few extra kilometers to burn all that extra off!!! There was such a wonderful sense of fun and camaraderie within the group. I would wholeheartedly recommend this workshop for not only those starting out in photography but those who want to push the development of their images further. Thank you both so much.

I’m off again tonight, (Saturday), to attend the AIPP national conference. There are some amazing speakers so it will be a hoot. On the following weekend Nick Rains and I are running our two day workshop in Noosa. So once again I will be away from the emails to some degree so I’ll be even more behind. If anyone else is heading to Noosa too I’ll see you there.
Two of the guys in this photo will be speaking, Tony Hewitt and Peter Eastway.
Bob Brown was in Broome this week to talk about JPP, here is the story from the West

Here is the story from the ABC
http://www.abc.net.au/rural/news/content/201010/s3038290.htm?site=kimberley
Here is the story from the Sydney Morning Herald
Now is it just me or is the story in the West a bit biased to the inevitability that the gas plant is going in at James Price Point? I wonder why??
hmmm thats right Don Voelte is a director of the West !! Surely just a coincidence!
Here is a detail shot I took last week. These compilations can work well to strengthen the images.
Some photos taken in and around James Price Point on our Heli flight last week. There are some beautiful creeks and inlets up there all pristine and subject to the huge tides.
As of this weekend Team Digital will be opening on Saturdays 9.00am to 1.00pm.
Along with our Saturday trading we also have planned a number of Workshops/Seminars that will run on Saturday mornings as well.
Heres just a small sample
Fully booked
This is a free seminar on NIK software
This workshop goes through the Gigapan Auto Pano system
Every thing you would want to know about printing with Epson
Great workshop for people starting with Studio flash
We will have more details on all of these seminar/workshop in the next few weeks
If you are interested in attending any of the new courses please contact
jenny@teamdigital.com.au
Some great workshops there. The Nik one would be worth going to as I use the Nik software quite a bit these days.
Oh and I don’t know if I am allowed to say anything yet but there is a new printer coming out from a certain company and I am going to order 2!!
My good mate Tony Hewitt has his new workshop happening at Rottnest on the 5th to the 7th of November. There are only a few places left so don’t miss out on this excellent opportunity to learn from the youngest Grand Master Photographer ever!

Hows this for a beautiful sky. We wait for years down south to get a sky like this. In the Kimberley they get one every week. Another reason it is so special. This was taken across the road from Matso’s Brewery. I seem to do my best work when I have a beer in hand. Nigel had to speed home because he didn’t bring his camera, Doh!. Dave was snapping away and we were all just gobsmacked by the beauty. Did we get munched by sandflies? You betcha! but it was worth it.
Make sure you check out and bookmark the Save the Kimberley website. The people behind it are doing fantastic work and they are all volunteers.
Make sure you get your entries in before the end of the month to be in the running. So far the odds are even better to win a prize as only 120 or so people have entered. The prizes are awesome so don’t miss out. Enter here The Landscape 500
This is a compilation of images from James Price Point. Have to love the colours. So remarkable!
I had the best morning in the sand dunes on the way back home. The sky was awesome, the dunes were awesome, I was awesome! haha well considering I slept on the back seat of the Cruiser and woke up at 3am after driving for 15 hours and not eating dinner or breakfast! Convinced???
I love this shot. Love sand dunes, love taking pictures.
I have a new found love for Broome after this trip. There is lots to photograph there and the holiday atmosphere is amazing. It is so different to the Pilbara. We stopped in at Karratha on the way up, it felt like I was there to work. No real nature to photograph. I hope Broome stays a tourist mecca, that is what we should all want. We need a place to relax and soak up what life is all about. Not power, greed and money, but good times with family and friends. What are your favourite holiday experiences? I bet they aren’t going on a mine tour. I think they might be watching the sun going down on a beautiful beach as these people are doing.
Nigel, Dave and I hired a heli and got some shots. I like this one, everything looks like it is stuck on to a sheet of paper on its side. Had to include the camels, it is Broome after all.
Denis Glennon has a Canon 1D mark III for sale. All reports are it is in top condition, see the attached report from Canon Professional Services. Great for you sport/ wildlife shooters out there.
It is not a grey market product and was originally purchased from Ben Walton, Team Digital.
I have placed an order for a second 1DMk4 body and I am keen to sell the 1DMk3.
The asking price is A$2650.00.
Warm Regards,
Denis.

Take a good look at this beautiful beach. It may well not be so pristine in the near future. When we pulled into this bay I thought I was in Esperance. This is a spot the locals love and the tourists don’t even know about.
I was talking to my mum and dad today, they are becoming environmentalists too! Mum was telling me how her family would go swimming and fishing at Kwinana. She said it was pristine and they loved going there. We all know what happened there and that bit of coast has been lost forever to industry. The social impacts from the industry at Kwinana are huge. Don’t let the Kimberley coast go down the same path.
Oh and to any surfers out there there was a stonking right hander coming off this point, albeit a foot high!! But on a cyclone swell??? Who knows!
Well it was a long drive back from Broome but I made it in 2.5 days and that was even when stopping for photos and driving the extra 260kms to Dunsborough. I have 425 emails to sort through so please bear with me if I haven’t replied to you yet. This is a photo taken just north of the point. Another unremarkable landscape.
just a reminder that we are on stateline tonight. Tune in at 7.30pm on the ABC to see three handsome gents and one unremarkable landscape. I believe there will be some interesting news on James price point that you can’t miss. I won’t see it as I will be driving home.
I haven’t been able to edit my images much only having my laptop here with me. It is so slow with the phase files it is almost unusable. So everything is pretty much straight out of the camera. This is the lagoon where we swam every day. From here when we looked out we could see the platforms that Woodside have had in place doing testing on the sea bed to work out where will be the best place to put the 4km long jetties. Nigel Gaunt told me since they have been there, over two months now, the amount of whales he has seen has gone from over 50 last year to 7 this year. Go figure. What astounds me is they are allowed to do this testing before the EPA report is released and before it is even decide it will definitely go ahead. Some how this reminds me of the fight to save the rock art on the burrup. We know the outcome there. Also out there with the rigs is a huge passenger ship that houses the Woodside workers. It is a huge boat bought in from Queensland to act as a floating hotel for the workers. Now that must be costing a pretty penny. I guess they must have money to burn, I mean what happens if the plant doesn’t go ahead? will that be valuable shareholders money being wasted? Hmmm!
I want to thank the others who came out with me. Firstly to my wife Jen our kiddies, Shay and Amali, Nigel Gaunt our Kimberley guide and all round good guy with his partner Helen, Paul and Tracy Thesiera who organised the ABC, David Bettini wildlife photographer extraordinaire, Natalie Seath who gave up here young baby for a few days to come out, Josh Coates from Save The Kimberley, Emma From GWN, Ben from the Broome Advertiser and two passionate photographers Roger and Darryl from the Broome camera club. Thanks guys, we made a great team.
We have been talking about another trip to JPP sometime next year but this time give plenty of notice to allow more people to come up and see the area we are fighting for. More on that soon.
