The Two of Us
Our workshop is in the bush and that iis where we love to be, relaxing, fossicking, meeting people from all
walks of life, cultural backgrounds and hobbies.
We travel across and around Australia constantly learning new stuff every day, we take lots of photos and
collect lots of stuff, but at the end of the day this is my photography and this is how I see things.
The Navigator - always on the move
Documentary photography is the main objective
while on the road, talking to the locals and
personal discovery reveals country outback
Australia in many interesting moods. After many
years of photographing, or trying to photograph
the ever changing landscape I am constantly
aware of it’s stunning beauty and in a heartbeat
everything canchange enormously.
The navigator knows there is so much more to
capturing a good photo but when she is ready to
leave it’s all systems go, so I’m not going to push
my luck, at least we now discuss how much
more time we should spend in any given area.
Documentary - Our Trips
We go to interesting places and sometimes
meet up with old timers that tell the story a little
different to the media and history books that
are often tarnished by the motives of the story
teller. Occasionally something physical to
support the story is present and here it is!
The one thing that is consistent is the great work
done by the Royal Flying Doctor. Service
Scattered throughout my library of landscapes
are images of the landing strips in the middle of
a highway right across the country, and, I’ve only
got some of them.

Main Galleries
OUTBACK GALLERY
We love to travel around Australia constantly checking out remote places, the people who live there and
we find interesting places arise from nowhere. This is my photography and this is how I see things.
INFRA-RED GALLERY
The IR experiment using modified digital cameras and image processing came about by
chance while learning new techniques in digital photography. I’m learning new stuff every
day and I work on this aspect from time to time. This is my photography and this is how I
see things.
HDR GALLERY
Involves taking multiple images at varied apeture settings to get the best of the highlights
and shadow areas of each image then combining all to make a composite image. This is
my photography and this is how I see things.
DARKROOM GALLERY
Not really a darkroom just fooling around with multiple tools, techniques and
methogologies to produce something dirrerent. Images that were impossible to conceive
in a darkroom. This is my photography and this is how I see things.

About Us
Paul R Horton ADipJA Main Interest in photography is landscapes, interesting people, other places where photographers seldom go, infra-red the continuing emergence of HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography. When everything falls into place we quickly pack our van and take off for the bush, sometimes via a city or large country towns but always the bush is the primary destination. Of course the weather plays a large hand in what we do, genrerally we can drive through bad stuff and out the other side or wait it out. What about travel plans - plenty of food, clothes, warm blankets, water and fuel is all we need. Rock hunting equipment for Fiona is essential, a few shovels, screens and plenty of buckets. For me its half a dozen cameras, the ever present laptop, android tablets, wireless connections, software tools and plenty of battery power. Maintaining websites and electronic database’s on the road consumes lots of battery power. Fiona Horton A bit about the bride; Fiona is a porcelain doll-ceramics teacher and taught ceramics and various associated crafts for over 30 years. She opened her first studio in Melbourne, later moving to Sydney she opened her shop-studio in Ashfield and stayed put for several years while continuing teaching from her home studio. Porcelain dolls aside she has indulged in and taught many other crafts. Fiona still travels to many arts shows and has sold her dolls across Australia and overseas. Sculpting was the next venture among her impressive arsenal of craft skills are porcelain painting, enamelling, leatherwork, jewellery, resin, copper work and Poly clay. Fiona took out the Blue Ribbon event at Kensington Doll Show in 1989 when that was the biggest doll show in OZ .... she won’t tell you about this stuff, but I will.
