Hello and welcome to my photo-stream!
I recently bought my first DSLR – the all mighty Canon 450D. I fell in love with photography as soon as I started clicking and became addicted to Flickr almost instantly.
If you have a look around my stream, you’ll notice images mostly of landscapes, sunsets and architecture. I love being outside peaking at the sun through the viewfinder or taking images of beautiful landscapes.
Most of my pictures are in HDR, and I guess I can’t help my self when it comes to HDR. I am not a big fan of HDR-TO-THE-MAX type of shots, so I am learning how to process my HDR shots using the DRI (Dynamic Range Increase) technique.
All my images are Creative Commons licensed so you can do whatever you wish to do with them. If you use them, it would be nice to mention my name somewhere.
If you need full-resolution watermark-free images please contact me and I'll be more thank happy to provide them.
My gear:
- Canon 5D Mark II
- Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II
- Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM
- Tamron AF 90mm f/2.8 Macro
- Manfrotto 055CXPRO4 with 488RC2 Head
- Various filters
Thank you for visiting!

Thought for sure I'd be the 70th and not the 7th person to be writing Sam a testimonial ;-) Glad to at least be getting it in early before the flood of others come in! Sam has come a long way in a short time and his photos are certain to aspire with the beautiful scenery he's afforded in the Canberra region of Australia. I enjoy his photostream not just for the wonderful art photography, but for the mixup of the more personal side of his life with shots of happenings, family, etc... it makes for an interesting stream that keeps you coming back to see what comes next.
Read lessI love the way he shots, I love the way he composes his scenes, I love the way he contextualises all the photos and I love the way he follows and comments my work!!! You're a great photographer Sam, your fantastic imagination is always followed by an amazing realization...thanks for sharing with us!!

Sam was one of my first friends here on flickr. Although his images have always been great he has evolved into an incredibly talented photographer. His HDR work is among the best I have see here on flickr. Sam is very supportive and always has something fun and different to say other than the run of the mill comment, he is just plain fun!!! If I had to pick a favorite in his stream I don't think I could but "I fell in love with a praying mantis" comes to mind thinking of his images. I can envision him in that yard and it makes me laugh. I can also see him now teaching his future little Maya's and Sam's how to fall in love with a praying mantis. I am grateful Sam calls me friend!! Keep the wonderful images coming mate! Hugs
Read lessStage has a natural eye for landscape composure. He couples this with exceptional processing skills to create stunning images. He manages to photograph scenes many have captured before, but with an intriguing eye and form. I love seeing new shots from stage pop up on my contacts page. Brett

Sam has amazing shots on his stream my personal current favourite (though there has been many!) 'Sunset At The Katoomba Pond' is fantastic and I'd like to just sit there all day. His attention to detail in the pictures is brilliant and is reflected in the most recent shot 'To Infinity and Beyond'. Great time is spent finely tuning the images which is evident in the fantastic photo stream that Sam has created. Looking forward to more of your awe inspiring work.
