If you want to take landscape photographs that stand out from the usual family snapshots, then you have to find and catch the right light.

There are many types of light, dictated by the time, weather and sometimes the activity of other people. In a general sense, the more unusual the light, the more the photograph will stand out.

We will be away on a photography trip to the southwest of Western Australia from the 17th through to the 23rd of April. During this time you can still contact us on the normal number or via email.
Please note however, that we won't be available for printing, scanning or photography work between these dates.

Thanks - we hope you had an enjoyable Easter,
Richard and Anne.

Come and visit York!

A pleasant one and a half hour drive from Perth is Western Australia's oldest inland settlement. A charming and picturesque town, it was established in 1831 on the banks of the Avon River. York is a great place to visit having many of its original buildings still in use and an abundance of things to see and do. For more information visit www.yorkwa.com.au (this link leaves this site), or www.yorkwa.org.au (this link also leaves this site).

The Mundaring Markets are on again on Sunday the 8th of March - Nichol Street in Mundaring.

Come and say hello if you are in the area.

There is a bit of everything - including food, arts and crafts, hand-crafted jewelery, plants and 2nd hand books.

The Mundaring markets are on every second Sunday of the month (organised by Rotary) and we almost always have a stall displaying some of our fine art photography and selling prints.

We always enjoy our day, especially meeting people and discussing photography.

This is back on February the 22nd at the Leederville town hall (84 Cambridge Street, Leederville).

The photographic market is a great place to grab some 2nd hand bargains. I always try to attend and never come away empty handed!

Sellers can hire a table for $15.00 and are admitted from 7:30am, buyers can get in at 8:30am for the princely sum of $3.00 per person. Phone Bob on 93645905 if you want to book a table. Tea and coffee, as well as nibbles are also on sale.

Updated - apparently the images were not visible using Internet Explorer 6 - fixed now.

The following observations and discussions are my own opinions. They are not intended to represent any sort of intensive investigation or to propose any particular course of action. I offer them in the hope that at some point in time, they may help someone.

The old school house, on Great Eastern Highway in Mundaring, houses the Mundaring visitor centre. A place full of information on the Perth Hills and Mundaring area. If you are up in the Perth hills it's well worth a visit. There are friendly staff to assist you in choosing places to visit and things to see.

The Mundaring and Hills Historical Society Inc. runs the Mundaring District Museum in the same building and holds regular exhibitions.

If you are visiting the Perth Hills region of Western Australia, the Perth Hills National Parks Centre is a great place to spend some time. Not only do they have a range of maps, guidebooks and gifts but also run fun activities for kids.

Visit their website www.dec.wa.gov.au/parks-and-recreation/activity-programs/nearer-to-nature/the-perth-hills-visitor-centre.html for more information. You can also call them on 08 9295 2244.

Trek the trail is a great event where you get to walk a set path through the Perth Hills bush.
It is a free, organised event, for health and leisure and offers activities for everyone. There are entertainment, festivities and stalls of local products.

We encourage you to have a browse of the official website www.trekthetrail.com.au for further information (this link leaves this site).

We had a stall at the 2008 Trek the Trail - see below. The 2009 Trek the Trail is on September 20th - see you there!

Our email systems are now up and working.
