    Hi once again Graeme

    I've just had a look at your website and I'm very impressed. I love animals, so I'm a big fan of wildlife photography. I love your animals, insects & birds shots. I like the way you isolate your subject with a shallow depth of field and capture a moment. And like your creative use of composition. I particularly love the lion, tiger, chimps, dingo, Tassie devils, meerkats, pelicans at sunset & vulture shots. If they were postcards I'd definitely buy them. And I like your Leaps project.

    Have you ever submitted any of your wildlife shots to Wildlife Photographer of the Year? Or thought about submitting them to Getty Images?

    Cheers

    I've spent lots of time looking through your pictures on g-trove and am more impressed every time. I showed one of my colleagues your site and she's used a few snaps in a presentation she's giving to the Department of Sustainability and Environment on climate change and environmental risk. Not sure if you're going to hunt her down for breach of copyright?

    Graeme - these are absolutely amazing! I just spent about 20 min looking at the photos instead of working :- )...I got lost in them.

    I am proud to announce that we’re running the G Myburgh flicker album “latest added” on our Apple TV! God, you are so good at those photos… they provide a beautiful wallpaper through our TV screen!

    I would love to have a chat with you about the course.  But I just took a squizz at your blog spot and I don’t think you need it!  You are a fantastic landscape photographer.  No amount of studio know- how can improve these fantastic shots.  I WANT TO GO TO CHILE!!!    Edie

    Graeme, you will seriously have to send in some of the photos you have taken into some photographic competitions. They are alway running them in the getwawy magazine.  I am sure you have loads of award winning pictures in your portfolio now. 

    Steve said...

    Inspiring photos, you have a keen eye for the moment.

    Carola said...

    Your pictures are amazing! I wish I could travel with you. Can you pack me into your bag next time you go away pls????

    Nicola said...

    Love, love love these ... a stunning set of pics you should be proud of. I'd love to have taken heaps of them!! Lovely portraits of the kids too.

    Julian said...

    I am amazed at just how good some of your pictures are - national geographic photographer in the making perhaps.

    I wish to thank you very much for your excellent presentation last night.  I have no doubt that thanks to you, there will be several members who are now proud owners of Viveza as you certainly educated them as to how simple it is to use. Personally I was blown away by the beautiful results you were able to get with just a few easy steps.

    I thought your workshop at the camera club last night was wonderful – you were so calm, giving the information so well and succinctly. So I am glad you mailed me as I wanted to tell you that and I was not sure I had the correct email! Your pictures were great. I have to confess that when I saw the speaker scrolling through some of his pictures, which seemed to be stereotyped Aussie flat landscapes and not very good, I decided not to stay for the main event. From what I saw as he was preparing for his presentation, I thought your pics were much better than his. I quickly slipped out!

    Tony Carlyon said...

    Your Pictures never cease to amaze me Graeme...... brilliant! 

    Brian Godwin said...

    Excellent work Graeme. I have always liked your pictures and your spirit for life!! I'd love to see a post on your blog about some of the post-production technics you use in Photoshop for your images.

    I've just been showing your photos of Jem to my family, we're over at my sister's for dad's 79th. Apart from being most impressed you made Jem look butch and really quite fierce, I took the opportunity to check out your other photos. You are an amazing photographer, you must have such patience to capture some of those spectacular moments. I also like your idea of a digital scrap book.

    Patrick Gouder said...

    Your photos are excellent. I guess the photographer is a professional.  I wish I was with you. Thank you. god bless.

    Maneka said...

    Your photos are amazing! We have yet to get ours developed and I can't wait to see them. 

    Caroline said...

    Can't resist sending a note after a visit at your blog together with marcus - we are both equally amazed by your stories but maybe most of all by your photos!!! I 've always known that you are an EXCELLENT photographer but this is totally AMAZING!! Thanks for bringing some sun, clear waters and great adventure to a winter cold Sweden... 

    Dan said...

    Ok since you take really good photos I will accept the mess up on the blog. :0)  Awesome photos! I thought the ones I was taking were good, it is pretty  impressive!!  will stay in touch 

    Dorothy said...

    I have to say Graeme, I love the photos of the Salt Pans, absolutely amazing.  You certainly have seen some sights, just unreal as to what is out there, you’re very lucky to be experiencing these places. 

    Sandra said...

    Amazing bird photos, just loved them all. Keep up the good work!

    Marloes said...

    Hey there! Wow, great picture of me and Harald with the mosquito bites! Haha! Thanks for sharing my beautiful dotted body with the rest of the world ;- )! Great animal pictures too, National Geographic can never win from you! See you!

    Mum said...

    You must start thinking about writing a book on your adventures. You can use the fantastic pics to illustrate it.

    Kerry said...

    Graeme - You take amazing pics!! Love the waterfall and birds too!

    Cindy Swanson said...

    I stumbled upon your blog...  …and just wanted to tell you how absolutely beautiful it is!  The photography is breathtaking.  It only fuels my lifelong passion to visit the UK.  Thanks for blogging.

    Russell said...

    I must confess I stole this photo from Graeme, whose photos are my inspiration for starting my blog.

    Steve said...

    Thanks for looking me up on Flickr. Nice to meet you too.
    You have some incredible photographs on your site!
    My favourites are all the portraits (you get great focus on the eyes) and the birds. My all-time favourite bird is the Frigate and I also like the one with the parrots with all their mouths open.
    I see you also do photography for a living. My ex-wife (recently happily divorced for the second-time!) is just getting into it (well, she bought the 5DM2 so that's a start!) and a friend told me she is booked to do some brush up courses on the technical side of things.
    Reading your blog is really amazing - I'm inspired to do my own! I went straight to the poetry of course. Poetry is such a special and personal thing. Yours is very good.
    I really must turn in. Hope to keep in touch!

    Nicola said...

    Stunning once again G! Wish I lived on the east coast - your photo's of Sydney always serve to remind me that here in Perth, we actually live in a small isolated mining town.

    Russell said...

    WOW, your best action shots ever! AMAZING!!!!

    Lizzy said...

    Wow! What a difference a real camera, and a real photographer, makes! Digital cameras are lots of fun and I know there are some whiz- bang ones out there, but those shots are amazing.

    Just a short note to say "congratulations" on your outstanding success last Friday night.

    I was delighted to see that you were awarded 3 merits as your images were excellent.

    Your "Girl & Dog" captured the spirit of the event at Balmoral and the "Stilt" bird was beautiful.

    Of course I also loved your "Salt Pan" photograph and it was indeed a worthy winner of the Members Choice Award.

    Once again, congratulations and I look forward to seeing more of your work in future competitions.

    Susan said...

    So, I spent most of the morning looking at many things on your revamped blog!  I must say, I think most of your photos maybe superior to hers! You take FAB photos.  

    Wong C Lee said...

    Thank you for your recent comment on my blog at http://wcleesketchbook.blogspot.com. I have visited a few of your blogs and really like the photos. My question is can I have permission to use some of your photos as references for my sketches and paintings? I would really appreciate it.

    Joanna said...

    We are missing you too – have just had a look at all your amazing photos you have taken so far – you have been to some stunning areas and seen some incredible wildlife – memories of a lifetime!!

    Colin Strain said...

    These are all so awesome!

    Russell said...

    Hey fantastic work!. When are you going to start selling to National geographic?

    Bogdan said...

    Graeme, your pictures are fantastic!! I had no clue your are sooo good at taking photos.

    Danielle Cori said...

    I just had a look at your photography... Amazing! Congratulations... it really is brilliant.

    Mary-Anne Flanagan said...

    WOW! That's all I can say Graeme! Seriously, you have such amazing talent and skill. Any chance this website is the indicative of a career change?

    Brian Godwin said...

    Excellent work Graeme. I have always liked your pictures and your spirit for life!! I'd love to see a post on your blog about some of the post-production technics you use in Photoshop for your images.

    Brendan said...

    The photos on your blog are fantastic - you have a real gift.

    Steve said...

    Your watershot shots are amazing! Did you drag the family down and up again? Just stunning!

    Hans said...

    Just a short note to say a big thank you for the wonderful presentation you gave us last night. It was by far the finest that we've had this year. I fully appreciate the amount of work that you put into it, which resulted in a telling story of your photographic life so far.  Your images were to say the least, spectacular, and I insist that you enter them in competitions so that all the members can see them.  Once again many thanks for a job very well done.

    Liz said...

    Firstly, Your photos are beyond amazing. I don't know if this sounds odd, but all of your photos have this very positive, uplifting feel about them. They give a sense of hope, wonder, awe and a general sense that everything is right with the world (sorry for getting a bit deep there). Anyway, there is definitely a gallery waiting with your name on it! A few of my favourites are the "Torres Del Paine, Chile" with the sunlight hitting the peaks, the lion sitting so grandly and looking so majestic, the moon setting over the 12 Apostles, the sun setting behind the elephant, the sunset one with the boat in the water (you must have taken it recently)....really I could name so many more....
