backyard safari https://journals.worldnomads.com/future_caveman/ Sun, 5 Apr 2026 20:20:25 GMT World Nomads Adventures i would love to be chosen because nature photography is something i enjoy along with motorsport photography. i believe to an extent they are very similar in shooting. if you blink, you miss the perfect shot, the perfect frame in time. with ever changing direction and conditions of light, varying speeds of nature and machine, distances, coming to and from and of course always the excitement in the danger of being hit and close to the action. you have to be quick and i do pride myself in getting it correct so i dont have to edit. i love the smallest bit of nature from my backyard where a lot of my macro shots are taken, but have always dreamt of shooting somewhere exotic and wild to share the small wonderful things people rarely get to see. to share the joy of site through the lens. https://journals.worldnomads.com/future_caveman/photos/49522/Australia/My-Scholarship-entry-animal-machine-and-man Travel Australia future_caveman https://journals.worldnomads.com/future_caveman/photos/49522/Australia/My-Scholarship-entry-animal-machine-and-man#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/future_caveman/photos/49522/Australia/My-Scholarship-entry-animal-machine-and-man Wed, 22 Oct 2014 20:37:00 GMT 0 well first things first, my name is Darren Hill. i reside in Adelaide in the south of Australia. i bought my first dslr a few years back for the purpose of photographing mates around the race track and progressed from there experimenting with different lenses and environments around me. One of my favorite parts of photography is macro lenses and the ability they have to capture details that you would never see with the usual quick glance that is given to most things. This is why i would learn a great deal from Jason Edwards as his photos capture the detail and moments that if you blink you would never see. This is why i love photography, it gives the photographer a chance to show what he sees to those that sometimes dont even give the slightest thought to what that little bug in the corner may look like if you get up close and personal or that moment your camera embeds an image of sun at first light coming over snow capped mountains on to that little memory card for you to share what you discover at the hope some one gets inspired to do the same. https://journals.worldnomads.com/future_caveman/photos/40928/New-Zealand/A-place-I-have-visited Travel New Zealand future_caveman https://journals.worldnomads.com/future_caveman/photos/40928/New-Zealand/A-place-I-have-visited#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/future_caveman/photos/40928/New-Zealand/A-place-I-have-visited Thu, 23 May 2013 19:09:10 GMT 0 as many people get to explore the big wide wonderful earth, i have not yet made that adventurous step, into another country nor set foot in an airport to find my internal self worth.. my photos are from no further then 15 paces from where i sit, down the stairs, through the door , under the tree is where i used to sit...household animals, flying critters and my brothers crumpled up litter, found in abundance through my lens, i shall shoot till i make amends... this would be one wonderful journey to be apart of, i hope that i am just looked at once and that my photos catch your eye and make you wonder what i could do if i wasn't in my backyard but in South Africa following some amazing photographers and equally amazing locals and snapping up thousands of photos which would be imprinted on my mind for ever. the set of photos are from my back yard using my old camera and standard lens kit for my Olympus including the basic macro lens. following some blowflys around and stalking out other tiny insects like there my prey trying to get that one shot to show a different side of that annoying fly or delicate butterfly. i have owned a camera for 2 years now mostly photographing Motorsport from my local track and a few bmx parks around the place along with dragging my camera to every trip around my state, no matter how big or small. i hope that i am considered for this scholarship as i see it as an amazing way to get into one of my dream fields of work and to finally get that foot on a plane and start exploring. darren https://journals.worldnomads.com/future_caveman/photos/30765/Worldwide/My-Photo-scholarship-2011-entry Travel Worldwide future_caveman https://journals.worldnomads.com/future_caveman/photos/30765/Worldwide/My-Photo-scholarship-2011-entry#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/future_caveman/photos/30765/Worldwide/My-Photo-scholarship-2011-entry Tue, 25 Oct 2011 20:31:00 GMT 0
