A Currawong nestled in the cradle of Cradle Mountain. I saw it fly to this tree and couldn't pass up the opportunity to position myself to get this shot. I took quite a few shots but this one was my favourite

There is quite a lot to my trip to Borneo but I'm just going to focus on what was the most challenging hike I've ever done, in terms of difficulty:distance ratio. The Pinnacles in Mulu National Park. sleeping

This may sound like a slightly braggy post but for me its more of a way of writing this down somewhere because I also need to rethink it every time it comes up. To how many countries have you been? It's

It's so demoralising looking at a 6 month chart of Steem prices. So here is a pretty picture to take your mind off this Steem slump. Things will pick up at some point Camera Settings Canon 5D MKIII 12mm

When we look at trees we see them growing from the ground up. This plays with our intuition of where the mass of trees come from. It comes from the air. The carbon dioxide in the air is how trees grow.

I've just returned from my workshop at Cradle Mountain in Tasmania. Conditions were cold and wet and the participants managed to keep their spirits high despite the adverse weather. We managed to get one

One of the problems I have is that I have so many photos from my life of travels that I can't give them all the time they deserve. I could post a photo to Steemit every day for my like and still have some

A bright and sunny day on the Gold Coast. The aptly named Surfer's Paradise is also a great place for a stroll along the beach with a baby in a carrier, sleeping while I try and do my photography thing.

Heading to the Gold Coast for the week and have some time at the airport so I thought I'd Steemit. The air was super chilly when we parked our car (traveling with my wife and baby, the babies first flight)

A howling wind at Whatipu Beach on New Zealand's North Island. Normally the aim is to get everything crisp and still. In this case, I loved the way the wind was represented by the blurred motion of the

In between bouts of fussiness and crying today I thought I'd post on Steemit again! I'm of course talking about my daughter being fussy and crying, not me. Looking back at some old photos, not just ones

Another shot from the Phase One 100mp camera. I'm still amazed at how much detail is captured by this awesome camera and lens Same image but zoomed in Camera Settings Phase One IQ3 Schneider 45mm F16 5sec

Playing around with the tilt shift blur in Photoshop. Although it works a lot better with an actual tilt-shift lens. I did have this technique in mind when taking this shot. Not something I'd normally

Some handheld shots from my photography workshop on the weekend. Can you see the waterfall in the first photo. This only flows during times of a lot of rain, and we had A LOT of rain during the day. Also,

What draws us to the horizon? Is it the curiosity to see what is behind the curtain of distance? Or is it just the aesthetic attraction of a sharp line, unbroken and defiant. I took this photo on Australia

Shooting handheld for me always feels like a "nothing special" kind of shooting. When I have my tripod and filters with me, I might just shoot without them to test compositions or just take photos

I recently obtained a medium format camera for the weekend. If you don't know what medium format is, it's a camera with a sensor about 2.5 times the size of a full frame DSLR! This means instead of shooting

Our dreams are brightest in the darkest night, only to fade with the burgeoning light. But what are dreams, just hopes of the mind. Their reality in day, are ours to find. Intro Post Website kieranstone.com

Do you search for meaning in your life or do you create it? Has your purpose been set before you with little to no chance of escape or do you find yourself staring of into the distance with thoughts of

Light and Shadow are key components of a dynamic and interesting image. Trying to control these when there is an abundance of both makes for tricky photography. If you want to represent them both in a
