Man of the Year 2009

The title is very tongue and cheek! ;)

Through some contacts at work I was able to get several of my images into three different company calendars for 2009. In the coming year I will have 13 images displayed around Tasmania. Two in the Tasmanian Alkaloids calendar on the months of February (Richmond Bridge) and July (Safety Cove Sunrise).

The other two company calendars I'm in are filled exclusively with my photos. Gunns has Safety Cove Sunrise (the only image to double up), Port Arthur, The Hazards Sunset, Mt Roland, Picnic Rocks and Freycinet Boats. FRM has The Entrance to Georges Bay, Government Gardens, Albert Hall, Tasman Island Sunrise, Evercreech and Safety Cove Yellow.

I am very excited to have so many images appearing in calendars next year. I'll have to get out and take more photos next year, otherwise I'll have nothing for the 2010 calendars. It would be nice to have at least some of my images in each of these calendars every year, and maybe some other calendars as well.

Safety Cove

This is another calendar I've put together. All the images were taken at Safety Cove on the Tasman Peninsula. I found this place on my visit to Port Arthur 2 years ago, I've been fascinated with it ever since.

This calendar shows the dramatic scenery I witnessed during my short visits.

My Tasmania 2009

I have had some success with calendars this year, which I will cover in a later post, but I decided to create my own for the year 2009. This is probably too late for Christmas but it's still in time for the new year.

It has landscapes from all over Tasmania. I've tried to put a good spread of image into it with sunrises, sunsets, HDR and a little infrared.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed taking the images!

Calendar Boy

A while back I posted that I was submitting some images for a Calendar. I can now say that I got two images chosen for the 2009 Tasmanian Alkaloids Calendar. I am Mr February and Mr July!

The two shots are Richmond Bridge and Safety Cove Sunrise. I am thrilled that they have been used.










I've already seen the printed sheets and they look great. I can't wait to see the final collated calendar. Thanks to Tas Alkaloids for using my shots!

Calendar Submission

I've been busy lately!

About a month ago I approached the printers of the Tasmanian Alkaloids calendar about getting some of my images into next years calendar. I was told I had a good chance of this. At the time I had my Photography Anthology book as my portfolio, this got me a foot in the door. They asked me to put some photos together for consideration and thats what I've been doing this last week.

After my trip down the east coast I had some very good landscapes but, I still had plenty of images from the trip that I hadn't processed. I knew some of them would be good chances of making the calendar so, I went through and processed a select few.

For my presentation I put another book together with only Tasmanian Landscapes in it.

Many of the images in the book have been seen on my blog before or are on my site. Some are still sitting on my computer waiting for me to upload to my site at a later date. They cover a wide area of Tasmania. Strahan, St Helens, Freycinet, Tasman Peninsula, Port Arthur, Richmond Bridge, Russell Falls and Mt Roland. I hope that I will be successful in getting some images in their calendar.
