Night Portrait Photography
On Monday, Melbourne's weather let me down with a planned beach shoot being deferred due to forecast rain and storms. However, the night, although cool was predicted to be fine, so my model Amber met me in the city and then we wandered around getting some fashion photos. The great part is that I found a new location, previously under construction when I was near there, that works like a huge softbox, with the model in the middle. We had some amazing images taken at night without flash. And then off to what could become one of my favourite laneways for a film noir style shoot, again with no flash. This was followed by some time in docklands, where a lot of flash was used to get the lighting right.
White Night Melbourne 2015
White Night - great for Photographers
The third White Night Melbourne event was held from 7pm Saturday 21 February to 7am Sunday 22 February 2015. This year I stayed around the River Yarra and direct surrounding areas, and managed to keep very busy watching and photographing a range of exhibits. I also met and talked with some wonderful people, artists and other members out having a great night.
My images from White Night Melbourne 2015 are in two galleries as I promised access to some people images, so the unedited images from the night are in a client proof gallery, which is not password protected (http://daryllynchphotography.com/daryllynchphotography/galleries/crg/20150221-white_night_melbourne/).
The edited images are in a Cityscapes gallery (http://daryllynchphotography.com/daryllynchphotography/galleries/cityscapes/20150221-white_night_melbourne/ ). As I edit more images they will be added to the Cityscapes gallery.
Early morning ocean shoot
Sunrise over Maroubra.
I don't usually see the early morning, but took the opportunity to get out while in Sydney to the Ocean Pools. The image attached is from Maroubra early this morning, processed quickly in Lightroom.
Getting about without a car permanently was solved by using a Go Get car for a few hours.
Refreshed website
Over the past several months, the supplier of my website engine, The Turning Gate, has released a new website engine and series of templates. Last weekend, they released the client response gallery and so I have upgraded the entire website and redesigned my content.
I really like how this is working, and give credit to Ben Wright, the designer and engineer of the Publisher application which I find to be brilliant for my workflow and convenience of use.
Have a look around and enjoy. But come back soon, because I am tweaking every day.
Riverfire 2013
After planning for 6 months to visit Brisbane on the last weekend of the Festival of Arts in 2013 for Riverfire, sitting at Wilson's Lookout for 9 hours in rain and sun, finally Riverfire 2013 occurred.
This year Chris and I went to see what the fireworks were like with the Story Bridge instead of staying around the Southbank area - and we loved it !!
As usual we got there early (?), but not early enough to capture the best vantage points from the locals, although we could not have got much better.

Big Stopper
Khao Lak seascape
Today was very overcast, with a strong onshore swell, so it was a great opportunity to test the Lee Filter's Big Stopper with some black and white seascapes.
The Big Stopper is an almost black filter that reduces the light intake by 10 stops, so it was an interesting experiment in the middle of the day, with the shutter speed increasing from 1/60 second to 15 seconds.
TTG CE3 WordPress release is very timely
Welcome to the new version of The Turning Gate CE3 theme for WordPress for my blog.
How timely can a software release be? The notification of its release from The Turning Gate was on the day I flew out of Australia on the first stage of a trip to Khao Lak in Thailand allowing me to install the theme and WordPress into my website while at Changi Airport in Singapore, and refine it over a few days in Khao Lak, Thailand. Khao Lak is about 100 kms north of Phuket.
