    Autumn in Melbourne

    Melbourne Royal Botanic Gardens

    Melbourne Royal Botanic Gardens

    As the weather here in Melbourne is getting colder and colder I am missing the sun even more. People are starting to talk about snow trips, whilst I am planning my next dose of sunshine. I did enjoy a walk in the botanic gardens last weekend where I was able to test out my new Canon 5D MKIII. I have it set up to save the raw file save to the compact flash card and a small jpeg to be saved on the eye-fi card in the SD slot. This allows the photo to be sent instamagically to my iPhone where I am then able to email, facebook or instagram the photo straight away. This will be a very useful feature in my upcoming travels. This is how I posted the photo attached to this post.

    Tomorrow night I am heading to Bali via Perth. I have always enjoyed visiting Bali for its sunshine and many photo opportunities. So stay tuned for updates and photos following my trip.

    NFS 2013/14 South America brochure

    I have just finished designing the Natural Focus Safaris 2013/14 South America brochure. The pdf version is now available online, the printed versions are on the press at the moment and will be available at all good Australian travel agents in the next few weeks.

    The cover of the brochure features an image of a girl from the Yanomamo tribe located in the Parima Tapirapecó National Park, Venezuela. This striking image was taken by American photographer Art Wolfe, who I was fortunate enough to meet last year. Several of my images from Peru and Colombia are used inside the brochure.

    The 100 page brochure takes several weeks of intense work to put together. To create the brochure I use Adobe Indesign for the layout, Adobe Illustrator for creating maps and graphics and Adobe Photoshop for image editing. When completed the brochure is uploaded to a server and the print process begins. The web press used is actually located in Queensland. Proofs are printed and then sent down to Melbourne via overnight courier. I check the proofs and sign off the pages, any changes are uploaded again via the server. Once signed off the printing process begins and brochure then arrive 2-3 weeks later. The hard work and late nights are all worth it when the glossy brochure lands on my desk!
