excitations stock site having a few problems
Over the last 24 hours there have been a few problems with our server. The archive has kept functioning, but server hosting excitations-stock.com has been playing up. Temporary redirect is in place which goes straight to http://excitations.photoshelter.com the archive server. Looks a bit different but working fine. I’d like to remind you that you can [...]
Getting ready to shoot some WET stuff on location in Melbourne.
Doesn’t matter, photographing in the rain is sometimes a lot of fun and you always get something a little different.
RIP Rights Managed Stock Photography,
Rumours abound about the big stock photography libraries considering ditching Rights Managed Stock
Balloon flights or rides over Lake Eyre.
We’re seeing a fair number of people arriving at this site after searching for “balloon flights over Lake Eyre” or “Balloon rides over Lake Eyre”.
Testing the new official PhotoShelter plugin for WordPress
If this works it will be just the best thing to happen around here today. Well that was way to easy. Was a tad slow finding the gallery that I wanted but I’ll put that down to the pitifully slow broadband connections we have to put up with here in regional Australia. Note to the [...]
I’m the photo stylist, I own the copyright on all photos.
Here’s an interesting take on copyright. This morning I had a stylist, who I’ve never to my knowledge worked with, claim that they owned copyright of some images I produced because they styled the job. Now I’m not sure what they mean by styled, because at the shoot there was only the model and our [...]
Photo gallery of Lake Eyre balloon flight with Kiff Saunders
In our haste to get out our first post in a couple of weeks, I forgot to let you know that there is a gallery of stock images developing at our stock archive. You can get there by clicking image search in the menu bar and selecting image search or galleries. If however, you are [...]
Wonderful bit of free photographic advice from Laurie Excell
Just noticed a new post from Laurie Excell on her blog about the use of perspective in a photo. Laurie is a pretty good shooter and spends a lot of her time conducting workshops and nature photography tours. Take a look at her example images and you’ll see how sometimes you just have to add [...]
The next Great War will be over water!
I read that somewhere a few years back, maybe the author was right or maybe it will be over food shortages and starvation. Certainly the possibility of war over water isn’t as silly as it sounded just a few years ago. Especially in an inherently dry country like Australia. As water becomes increasing scarce and [...]
Melbourne awakes
While we’re on an aerial photography theme, here’s another low level aerial of Melbourne CBC early morning, as with the previous shot, thanks go to Kiff Suanders and his team at Global Ballooning for the opportunity to shot this series.
Low level aerial Melbourne
Start of a new stock week and I can’t help but wonder what’s in store for us this week. Last week, our first two sales on Monday morning were for low level aerial images. The low level aerial below was used in the UK as a half page in a newspaper editorial in a large [...]
Luxury waterfront housing.
One thing about Aussies, an more than likely most other nationalities is the desire to live near water. Thought I’d post low level aerial picture of luxury homes on the Murray River, at Gol Gol a small NSW town just across the river from Mildura.
Low level aerial of Salt lake

We get a lot of requests for photos of “Climate Change” which is a little hard to define in a photograph. For instance we have images in the excitations archive which could show elements of climate changed environment, but it is a little subjective. Recently we saw a set of images showing drought conditions on [...]
Low Level aerial, Murray River
Low level aerial stock photo of Murray River at Gol Gol near Mildura. Photographed from a helicopter during Autum when the vineyards surrounding the area are turning yellow. Many horticultural areas along the length of the Murray Darling Basin are in decline due to a prolonged drought and heavy demand for water for other more [...]
