Victorian Drone Photography Masterclass
June 24th, 2022North Queensland Drone Workshop
May 26th, 2022On Saturday 2 July I’m running a unique drone workshop in Townsville (North Queensland). It’s only the second one on my own doorstep; I’m often away travelling.

Animal welfare & Australian politics
May 22nd, 2022I avoid making political comments. To me voting is a private matter, and soapboxing too often just alienates those with opposing views on one hand and preaches to the choir on the other. And the personal vitriol that is thrown around is disgusting (‘play the ball, not the man’, should be the mantra for everyone). […]
Should I buy a drone now or wait for the next model?
March 30th, 2022There are endless online discussions regarding rumoured drone updates, across every drone-related Facebook group.

Looking after the planet is everyone’s responsibility
October 15th, 2021And that means you, and I, and everyone we know! Is global warming a thing? It’s a moot point! Because what IS undisputed is that we must look after the planet better than we are right now. The earth’s resources, in their current state, are not limitless! That’s a no brainer. For example, hands up […]
What is the best drone for beginners?
June 29th, 2021I’m often asked two slightly different questions by drone buyers: What is the best drone for beginners to learn to fly? What is the best drone for a particular purpose? (Commercial or recreational – eg common farming uses, mapping, photography or travel recording.) If you want to upgrade or buy just one drone to suit […]
