Hi, my name is Dave Caltey, welcome to my first ever blog.

I am a Landscape Photographer based in Perth, Western Australia, you can learn a bit more about me and see some of my images by visiting my web site www.madcat.com.au. As I am also a Web Developer (or at least I was before I chucked it in and took up photography) it stands to reason that my web site is in need of some serious updating, so please check back here regulalry (if you’re interested) and I’ll keep you updated on it’s progress.

I plan to post information here about photoshoots I embark on (big and small) and show many of my existing/new images. Please feel free to ask questions, give advice or offer critisism and I wil do my best to answer.

Bunker Bay, South Western AustraliaJust to get the ball rolling here is one of my earlier images from Bunker Bay. It’s not a traditional photographic seascape at all, in fact many peaple question whether it really is a photograph but I assure you it is 🙂

  4. Yours are nicer. Theres something I just can’t get with my images, but I’ll get there. Yours are very clear and very colourful, oh yes and very nice.

  5. Thanks again James, what software do you use to process your prints. I use Adobe Lightroom (and Photoshop if needed afterwards), it gives alot of flexibility when it comes to tweaking and refining your images.

  8. I use Photoshop and Lightroom also. Lightroom is amazing for organising photos, although I still have some issues with recognising the correct white balance to use.

    For stitching I use Autopano and CS3 also. I always use photoshop as I’m stitching, its not possible to just use lightroom by itself.

  9. I use lightroom and photoshop. Lightroom is awesome for organising and the presets make things happen a lot quicker. I stitch all my photos so I need to use photosop with every photo.

  10. Yes, unfortunately Photoshop is still a necessity for processing most images. I still do all my printing from Photoshop as well as any other final touches that Lightroom cannot handle.

    White balance can be a bit tricky to get right, if you want to get it perfect then you can get whilte balance cards that you photograph on-site and they give Lightroom a guide to getting it right. I find that too much effort though and either leave it at default or just tweak it until it looks right.
