Dead Tree - Nikon D700 with Sigma 50mm | 50mm, 1/8000 @ F1.4, ISO 200 A dead tree on the coast of Victor Harbor. I grew up in Goolwa just near Victor Harbor on the coast of South Australia.

This was the first time I had attended the event and the first time I had shot any form of sporting event. The verdict? I loved it. Shooting sport is obviously different to other forms of photography, as you don’t...

Sydney Bondi Skater - Nikon D700 with Nikkor 50mm | 50mm, 1/1000 @ F1.8, ISO 200Early last year, I was the proud owner of a new Nikon D700. I picked it up just before I went across to Sydney to watch Tropfest. At the time, I had a 50mm lens with me, and I was more than happy to play with the range that the lens gave.
