Magical Melbourne Photography Courses
Following the enormous success and popularity of my Composition Sydney Courses I am proud to release my Magical Melbourne Courses to the people of Victoria. Over the day we will shoot and explore many of the iconic sights of Melbourne and capture the colours this amazing city has to offer. This is a full day course where students are taught the skills and techniques to master capturing dynamic high quality landscape photographs and how to make a photograph work in any environment. The course
Wildlands Philanthropy
Wildlands Philanthropy: The Great American Tradition (Earth Aware Editions, October 2008) by Tom Butler, with a Foreword by Tom Brokaw, is a testament to the bountiful and wide reaching legacy of the American conservation movement. Butler, a seasoned conservationist and author, archives the fascinating history of pioneering nature-oriented philanthropists and the unfolding story of their modern-day counterparts. Butler and world-class landscape photographer Antonio Vizcaíno take readers on a visually spectacular tour of protected natural areas saved through private initiative by American conservationists. From Alaska to Tierra del Fuego, and over the course of a century, people from all walks of life and every corner of America have used their personal wealth and energy to save wild places. The resulting state and national parks, wildlife refuges, wilderness areas, and private nature sanctuaries are the very embodiment of America the Beautiful. Collectively, these conservation lands enrich the experience of every citizen—and yet the crucial role that private philanthropy has played in their creation has been little known and celebrated. Until now. Wildlands Philanthropy is a collection of love stories about people and the land. Butler’s essays are as captivating and varied as the wilderness these conservationists have saved. The magnificent images by preeminent Mexican nature photographer Antonio Vizcaíno reflect his intention to use landscape photography as a medium for raising awareness about the planet’s diminishing biodiversity. Wildlands Philanthropy shares the inspiring stories of American heroes: Isaac Wolfe Bernheim arrived in New York City in 1867 a penniless hopeful who started out in America as an itinerant peddler, eventually settled in Kentucky and made his fortune distilling bourbon. He bequeathed thirteen thousand acres of wild “Kentucky Knob” land near Louisville and offered it to the people of Kentucky, expressing his desire for a free park where “no distinction will be shown between rich and poor, white or colored…every respectable man, woman and child will be made welcome.” Rosalie Barrow Edge, a New York society doyenne, dedicated herself to the womens’ suffrage movement; after the vote had been won she proceeded to take up the cause of wild hawks who were unprotected and shot for sport. She raised funds to lease and subsequently buy Hawk Mountain, which had been a destination for hawk killers. Today Hawk Mountain Sanctuary forms the nucleus of one of the largest blocks of protected forest in southeastern Pennsylvania. In our own time, philanthropists of both great and modest means, working alone and through land trusts, are protecting natural areas across the U.S. and around the world. Wildlands Philanthropy shares forty examples of this great American tradition, including conservation success stories in eight countries. * * * About The Authors: Tom Butler is an activist and writer focused on wilderness and biodiversity conservation. The former long-time editor of Wild Earth journal, he is a founding board member of the Northeast Wilderness Trust, and the editorial projects director of the Foundation for Deep Ecology. Antonio Vizcaino is a professional nature photographer, editor and conservationist who uses beauty to help foster a new culture that respects the value of nature. He has published twenty books of his photography and is co-founder of the conservation organization America Natural www.americanatural.org
Beautiful Water Lake View Landscape River Seagull Swans
Storm clouds gather and rain falls. Streams and rivers swell and water rushes over lovely water falls to the lakes and pools below where swans and gulls enjoy the tranquil waters. This short movie was mostly shot near Worcester in the UK (Worcestershire and Mid Wales). I particularly like the water, waterfalls (Elan Valley) and beautiful views with gulls flying gracefully over the water and of course, the lovely swans - how wonderful are they? The video was originally made for a club competition and in fact it won - although in this version the music is different and one or two clips have been changed.

Merewether Baths, Newcastle
I love Newcastle… the place is stacked with photographic opportunities and on Sunday 3rd of August 08 I ran my first Newcastle Day course. Towards the end of the day we made our way to Merewether Baths as I had an idea of a shot that would complement a clear sky and give students on the course a variety of compositions to shoot. Single image | Canon 1ds Mark II | 70-200mm f2.8 | shot on manual at F22 for 35sec | 10 stop ND | focal length 155mm.
