I guess I could be called a Bad Blogger. I have been busy and haven’t updated for a while, so i thought I’d catch up on some recent news. My ‘Life’s Colourful Canvas’ presets have been taking up lots of my time. I was able to launch them last week and I am thrilled to see them being used to good effect by those who have purchased. I held a ’sample sale’ this week to allow people to purchase just a few to try them out. It was very popular and I have decided to package up another sample set of 7 of the presets and make them available for purchase next Wednesday for 24 hours only. I certainly understand it is easier to find $30 to spend, rather than $150, so if this purchase style suits you, visit the site Wednesday to take advantage of the special.
I am also busy working on ‘The Portrait Set’ which is a more subtle set of presets for use on outdoor portraits. It will be tested this week and available for sale the week after. I am GIVING this set free to anyone who has purchased the full 3 sets PRIOR to the release ONLY. If you are considering investing in these now is a good time to ensure you don’t miss the freebie.

In other news, I headed out to Winton Raceway last Saturday to photograph champion drivers John Bowe and Jason Richards for Infomedia. Having never been to the V8 races before i wasn’t sure what to expect, but i soon understood the appeal to the fans. The screeching tyres, the smell of petrol, the cars flashing past, it really is all quite exciting and spectacular. John and Jason were both a pleasure to photograph and I hope to be able to show some more of the photos from the day soon.

The Trip Home
Finally because I know this is far too long a post, I headed out this week with fellow photographer and friend Susan to scout locations for a special project we are soon to announce. I’m not sure who had more fun at the playgrounds and beaches, the kids or us!! We had a wonderful day and had many laughs along the way. Here are some photos of ‘The Secret Garden’ which was a fabulous location and had the most amazing light. I cannot wait to go back there to shoot again. Stay tuned for more details soon.
