		<title>Sunrise Long Exposures&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Up early in the morning so it was another chance to setup my tripod at my bedroom window and take some shots facing approximately east towards morning twilight and sunrise. In my mind I felt there were probably way too many clouds in the sky however that&#8217;s nature and it&#8217;s way out of my control&#8230;

		<title>Churchyard Snaps&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Saturday mornings my three daughters have swimming lessons and then my eldest has a piano lesson. There is this quaint little church opposite where the lessons are held so in true sad case photographer style I decided to use the opportunity to take some shots and experiment a little. My middle daughter also received [...]]]></description>

		<title>Long Exposures at Twilight and Dusk&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Time to try something a little different.
I setup my tripod at my bedroom window and took some shots facing approximately east away from the setting sun during sunset, twilight and dusk. All of these shots are untouched from the out of camera RAW images (no white balance correction, no tone or colour correction) &#8211; just [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nikon D90 + Sigma 10-20mm  F4-5.6 EX DC HSM Lens&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was fortunate to be able to borrow a colleagues Sigma 10-20mm  F4-5.6 EX DC HSM Lens for an hour or two so that I could get a feel for what an Ultra-Wide lens would be like on my Nikon D90.
I went to Hyde Park (very close to my work in the city) during [...]]]></description>

		<title>Photography Hints &amp; Tips Part 2 &#8211; Shooting Modes &amp; Focal Length&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Camera Shooting/Exposure Modes
Most digital camera&#8217;s have multiple Automatic Modes including:

a full auto mode (where the camera sets everything based on algorithms which attempt to guess what you&#8217;re trying to do &#8211; you&#8217;ll almost always get a &#8216;correctly exposed&#8217; photograph but it might not be what you creatively expected)
multiple &#8217;scene&#8217; modes (like Portrait, Landscape, Sports, Close-Up, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Photography Hints &amp; Tips Part 1 &#8211; Photographic Basics&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since I upgraded to a D-SLR I have been enthusiastically getting back into what I might call &#8220;real&#8221; photography rather than just &#8217;snapshot&#8217; taking with my previous compacts. This has meant taking more care about the craft of photography, visualising the image I want to create and having an idea of my intended end result [...]]]></description>

		<title>HDR Clouds&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Another handheld attempt through my window. The sun had well and truly risen by this stage this morning but the clouds in the sky looked pretty interesting so I shot above the sun and this time I&#8217;ve bracketed three shots and tonemapped them into an HDR.

		<title>First Photos with the Tamron 90mm&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We spent the afternoon at Cremorne Point here in Sydney so I took the opportunity to take some photos with my new Tamron SP AF 90mm F/2.8 Di 1:1 Macro lens. It was in the afternoon so not an ideal time of day (it was very bright) but it was overcast so that softened the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tamron SP AF 90mm F/2.8 Di Macro&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I took the plunge last night and ordered a new Tamron SP AF 90mm F/2.8 Di 1:1 Macro lens.
This lens retails for about AUD$800 here in Australia but a little online research and I&#8217;ve ordered it from DWI (ships out of Hong Kong) for just over AUD$450 delivered including Hoya&#8217;s top of the range 55mm [...]]]></description>
