Restaurant widow in Matilda Bay Perth
I guess we all complain about where we live at one time or another. As some of you know i live in Perth Western Australia and like everyone else you become blasé about your surroundings. Matilda Bay is a small bay that is a part of the Swan River and from there you get a great view of the City and river.
Near the water’s edge is a restaurant, café and a couple of Yacht clubs. In fact, for those yachting aficionados, the famous Royal Perth Yacht Club is one of these. RPYC was the Club that won the America’s cup in 1983 after the New York Yacht club had successfully defended it for 132 years, the longest winning streak in sporting history.
This image is a bit abstract but you can see the yachts in the reflection.

A cafe in Subiaco Western Australia photo
The travel photography FAQ’s are on hold for now. But they will back in a new form on new site so watch this space! In the meantime more photos from around the globe.
Perth in Western Australia was once a sleepy city far from anywhere and where getting a good coffee was always a challenge. That’s all changed now and there are coffee places everywhere that all have good coffee. In my suburb, Subiaco, 3 km’s from the city centre there are around 20 different café’s or places to get a coffee along its main strip.

The travel photographer FAQ’s: Why do my photos of landscapes look ordinary?
Why do my photos of landscapes look ordinary?
Ever taken a photo of a beautiful scene and found that even after you thought it looked OK in the rear screen, once it was displayed on your computer at home it looked nothing like you remember it. Usually that’s caused by a rush of blood to the head that tricks you into believing you can capture the scene before you (usually a landscape). Most common faults are that everything is too small, too much sky, too much foreground, e.g. grass, or it just looks uninspiring. When composing a scene look to use the rule of thirds and place the horizon carefully away from the centre either high if the sky is uninteresting or blown out and the foreground has some points of interest like interesting rock formations or place it low if the sky is full of interesting cloud formations or colour. Make sure the horizon is straight and if you have the sun at your back watch out for your shadow. Finally play around with different positions and zoom in and out.
Here’s an interesting landscape

Swan river in Perth at dusk photo
Perth in Western Australia sits on the western edge of the Australian continent is the world’s most isolated capital city. Its also a city of spectacular scenery and happens to be my home. This is the Swan river that snakes its way some 90 km from its beginnings to the Indian ocean. The city itself is about a km to the east (left). 1/125 @ f8 120MM ISO400

Fotofreo
Sand trails Near Roebuck bay, Broome, Western Australia © 2010 Nick Katin A few months ago I went to Fotofreo. Fotofreo is an annual month long photography festival held in Fremantle, Western Australia. It’s a candy store for anyone who loves photography whether you’re involved in the industry or just love looking at great art. There are workshops and special events as well but the main course is the exhibitions. Martin Parr, Christian Fletcher, Les Walking and Peter Eastway all had or were part of exhibitions.
I say part of because the biggest exhibition was held in Midland 40 kilometres east of Freo and about 20 east of Perth. Sixty photographers from all over the globe exhibited their work there. It was mind blowing.
For anyone looking to go next year (or even be a part of it) the website is www.fotofreo.com. Sadly none of the works displayed are on the site. So you’ll have to settle for a couple of ours.
