Cam & Kuttan hit the local paper!
Posted by Cameron in Just for Fun, Newspaper, Personal, Photography on February 16th, 2010
Amazing what reach Facebook has nowadays! I posted a quick snap of myself with legendary 90yr old Galle Face Hotel concierge Kuttan on Facebook whilst I was on assignment in Sri Lanka. Mates of mine Scott Radford and John “Ando” Andersen from the Townsville Bulletin spotted this and dropped it in Ando’s “Talk of the North” column. Ando called me “lanky”, not hard when your posing partner is only about 4″10″. Haha

Too much rain foils angler’s best plans
Posted by Cameron in Personal, Photography, Video on February 1st, 2010
I was asked to photograph the first day of the barramundi season today so I thought I could make a great pic at Townsville’s Aplins Weir where there would normally have been up to 100 fisherman there to celebrate the opening of the season. The recent rains would normally have provided a perfect start to the season as plenty of food was swept down rivers and streams to the waiting barra. The problem however – the dam spill gates had to be opened and therefore instead of a gentle flow, we got 100,000 litres a second over the dam wall.
So, all I ended up shooting was a handful of pics that I got a bit carried way with in Lightroom and a video to show you what the flow was like. [Skip past the gallery for the video]
Working today in one of the world’s most beautiful places!
Posted by Cameron in Just for Fun, Personal, Photography on January 15th, 2010
As a young kid growing up I was amazingly lucky to have grandparents living at Queensland’s Coolum Beach. I loved spending nearly every Christmas holidays there but only realised many years after just how blessed I was to have those great times in one of the most beautiful places in the world. The 30hr round trip in the car from our home in north Queensland was well worth it! (And by the way, for my colleague who is visiting London in the FREEZING winter – Hahahaha)
Thought I’d share a few snaps I took yesterday after I’d finished a job in the nearby area.
Merry Christmas from me and my family to you and yours!

Google Chrome OS launched and now running on my Mac!
Posted by Cameron in Apple, Internet, Just for Fun, Personal, Technology, Video on November 20th, 2009
Google’s new Chrome operating system was revealed yesterday and won’t officially launched until late next year but as the entire OS has gone “open-source” today it hasn’t taken too long for a very early ‘buggy’ version to be available. It can only be installed in a virtual machine but what the heck, it’s worth playing with for a self-confessed geek!
More info on the Chrome OS launch at this link, more info on the virtual machine download at this link and a screencast video of it running on my machine below. Enjoy the geekfest
