Like the feel of this, you have captured the mood well (I am a designer so feel qualified to say )
Thank you Merri !!!
Love this sunset pic, you simply won a new reader.
Hi Paul
Good seeing you as well, beautiful images….. love the warmth of the images ….cheers greg
Thanks Greg, see you at Shorncliffe again no doubt soon. All the best for now Paul

I came, I read this aritcle, I conquered.
Heck of a job there,
Its not often I get excited at the rumour of a new camera but this one has stirred me up into a bit of a frenzy. So here it is the yet to be announced Fuji X50 Why is it so different … well first of all it has a big brother called the Fuji...

Small sensor cameras simply do not appeal to me. May as well use the iPhone 4.
Hi Sean, well yes but I know where you are coming from but I am not looking at this as a serious camera, I want it for happy snaps. Also sensor size much larger than iPhone and the lens is to die for . PS have a read here about my thoughts on using phones for happy snaps http://www.paulcopsey.com.au/happysnaps/what-makes-a-good-happy-snap-camera/
I will buy one; Its the camera for me
Looks like this is now known as the Fuji X10
That’s not just the best answer. It’s the besetst answer!
Wow! Great thniknig! JK
Took a photo of the kids today and compared it to the same photo I took only 2 years ago. Just goes to show how

Lovely record of how your girls are growing Paul. Havnt seen you lately at bcg, must catch up soon.
Thanks Peter and yes sorry been busy taking photos but hope to attend next digi meet Cheers Paul
How amazing!! You would hardly think they are the same two girls…
Imagine what they will be like in another 10 years!! You will be beating the boys away with sticks! Or you will have migrated to Antarctica or some other equally remote, unpopulated spot….
Thanks Marion. I have tolf them already that the proper age for boyfriends is 35 !!!! See you soon PP
I discovered your blog and love you unique down to earth approach. I have subscribed to your RSS feed. Looking forward to reading more from you later on!…
I enjoy reading that post!
Now and Then … what I cool idea

It is really a nice. Thank you for sharing.
Great photo showing fun. Can I ask? It does not look to me that this photo needs to be photoshopped so are you going to leave it as is?
Thanks! i will see how I feel when ths wedding gets to post production but maybe the only thing i may change is the yellow boat light in the background whcih i might make the same background colour to blend it in.
Hi Paul agree its a lovely unique image, you dont mind showing photos straight from the camera then?
Hi Ryan, Yes i dont mind, infact I do it all the time. Our brides and grooms pick their (untouched) Favs from all the pictures we take on their day and then I will visit each image to see what magic we will perform. The photos are only fully worked when we go to print either in the album or wall print. Hope you are missing the Hurricane, stay safe! Paul
This pic tells a beautiful story!!
looks like great fun, great pic too
enjoyable read and fun pic
Super excited to see more of your wedding photos
Spent all of today with clients or in front of the computer so come 4.00pm my trigger finger was eagerly looking for a shutter release button. I walked down to the water

Hi Paul, i thought you went out when the sky turned black?
Hi Peter, yes the sky had just turned black to my eye but the camera can still pick up some colour with a very slow shutter speed (3.5 seconds for this photo). It also helps to point the camera more or less in the direction of where the sun set and also light pollution from the town helps.
We had a similar sky to this in North Wales last night….it was a definite blue/black colour. It was even more spectacular when a double rainbow appeared!
Ok thanks paul but did you photoshop any colours in, or saturate colours?
No photoshop changes what so ever, well apart from straight conversion from RAW to web quality JPG. The ground colour has a green tint and this is from the sodium street lights. If I finished this photo to make print ready then I would darken the ground a little, darken the tree trunk and maybe remove power lines but no time right now as just getting ready to photograph a wedding. Hope camera club is going well. All the best Paul
Wow sounds lovely Liz. There is nothing better than God’s creations
Very impressive that this is stright from the camera paul. Can you provide the Tech EXIF data please?
Canon G11 on carbon tripod (yes only carbon will do as I am not a Russian Shotputter)
f/3.5 – Shame the G11 lens is not f/2.8 throughout or I would have used it
3.5 secs shutter speed – i just guessed this and was pretty much ok
ISO 100
Camera on timer as I have no cable – wonder if you can but a shutter release cable for the G11??
Wait for a gap in the cars as their headlights would have caused overexposure
Most off all, wait for the correct time to take this photo – about 35 mins after sunset this time of year in Brisbane
Today I took some photographs of a very old button for Mary-Jean who is a PhD Candidate at the University of Queensland.

An impressive share, I just given this onto a colleague who was doing a little analysis on this. I feel strongly about it and love reading more on this topic. If possible, as you become expertise, would you mind updating your blog with more details? It is highly helpful for me. Big thumb up for this blog post!
Paul, Just curious, what camera did you use or this Macro? Peter
Hi Peter, I used a Canon G11 which has a lovely shallow DoF (depth of Field). The issue was more the lighting in order to see the inscriptions. Broad light was not good and in the end I used window light at a 45 degree angle. Rgds Paul
Hey firstly not a bad post. I am not surely i entirely agree with this point of view. I would like to hear all the information
Yes this is my own guess. The facts need to be discovered. How interesting eh!
Hi, this is a well written post. Please continue the amazingly good posts.
Hey There. I found your blog using msn. This is a really well written article. I’ll be sure to bookmark it and come back to read more of your useful information. Thanks for the post. I’ll certainly return.

Love all of your phtots of the day. Bruce
The qualities of a good snap camera? If it is going to be your sole camera then you need to think about each situation it needs to function for. I have the luxury of currently owning many cameras so I can select the best tool for the best job, however, many people want just one...

Touchdown! That’s a rlelay cool way of putting it!
I have been asked many times which camera someone to buy to take snaps of their family … so lets address this here. Firstly What is a Happy Snap Photograph? For me happy snaps are all about story telling. I think its important for us all to tell our stories in pictures. This will keep...
