Welcome to my Bubble. My name is Michael Smith, I’m a 38 year old photo holic. I’ve had a passing interest in photography due to my fishing trips and wanting to preserve the memories of them as well as taking the pic’s of the catch (if I’m ever lucky enough to catch something). But in recent times my passing interest has turned into full blown obsession. I like to fish and camp in the remote parts of South Oz and these area’s offer some superb photographic opportunities.

More recently I’ve been trying my hand at Portraiture. Another world all together. I’ve been working on my Post Processing techniques in Photoshop CS3 and I’m loving every minute of that also. Though I’m finding the more I learn the less minutes I seem to have. I’m also loving the world of Strobist now. Off Camera Flash is a whole new world. The light you can get and the moods you can create are incredible. I can see me expanding my gear list in this direction over the coming months. Already I’ve got a 580exII and 2 X 430exII speedlites. A couple of light stands. Two shoot thru umbrella’s and a softbox.
