Camping Trip.

I've just been through one of the busiest seasons in my photography experience ... let's hope it continues. Last weekend I got to go camping and so I thought I'd share an image or two with you. We were in Alpine National Park, Victoria. See if you can guess where? On second thoughts, that's probably too hard! I'll leave it for a few days and then update the post with the location.

Enjoy!

Brock Johnston Photographer - Wagga Wagga Portrait Photography

Wasn't last Saturday warm for a winters day! Well, I had a engagement portrait session to shoot the fabulous Mark and Mandi who travelled all the way from Wollongong. Wow, the weather was great, the light was just perfect, and we had stacks of fun and heaps of laughs together as walked around central Wagga camera in hand. Here's some of the results!

Brock Johnston Photographer - Commercial & Advertising Photography

I've been out of the studio this morning (just before the rain poured down) to capture some great images of the friendly team at Mild 2 Wild Restorations in Wagga Wagga NSW. The team at Mild 2 Wild can not only customise your vehicle but supply tyres and rims at unbelieveable rates! They cut out the middle-man and you save direct! Here's one of my favorites from this morning.

Father's Day - Sunday September 6th

Father's Day reminds me of my childhood when I'd eagerly prepare a pressie for Dad and deliver it. One year, I gave him a back scratcher he already owned BUT I'd written the words 'by Brock Johnston' on the handle! I can't believe I didn't get in trouble!

Father's Day this year is on Sunday the 6th September. We've got some great ideas for gifts with our packages starting from $75 including a free print (wow - that's $150 value for only $75).

We offer beautiful outdoor portraits of children, families, adults printed on the finest of papers and canvas'. We are also offering those cute photographs of children playing in a white box (but our white box has a BIG difference - drop in to see it sometime). The full service is available, including faming, mounting and gift wrapping if required.

Contact the studio NOW on 6925 9985 to arrange your sitting!

Located at Shop 1, 151 Fitzmaurice Street Wagga Wagga. We are Wagga's only main street studio ... deal with a professional because at Brock Johnston Photographer ... the difference is obvious!

Studio closed today - Friday 17th July.

Due to illness, the studio will remain closed today. We will re-open on Monday 20th July at 10am. If you have any enquiries feel free to phone Brock on 0428 697 156. Alternatively, you may leave a message on the studio phone number or email your request to studio@brockjohnston.com.au

Listen to the radio?

Do you listen to Star FM. If you do that's great! If you don't start listening this week and you could win a $500 portrait pack from Brock Johnston Photographer. The winner will be announced live on air this Friday morning, July 17th.

Good luck!

Brock

Opening of the Sheahan Bridge at Gundagai today!

It was great to be outside this morning photographing the opening of the new duplication of the Sheahan Bridge on the Hume Highway at Gundagai. In attendance were the likes of Anthony Albanese MP (Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government), Kay Hull MP (Member for Riverina), Mick Vietch MLC (Deputy Government Whip), Len Tozer (Mayor of Gundagai) and numerous representatives of the local Gundagai community along with RTA and the bridge contractor.

A man by the name of Barry Herring guided me up 'Goat Hill' to capture this panoramic shot of both bridges going over the mighty ('not so mighty at the moment') Murrumbidgee River.

NSW/ACT Regional Achievement & Community Awards Launch.

I had the great honour to photograph the launch of the NSW/ACT Regional Achievement and Community Awards held this morning at the Wagga Wagga City Council chambers. The function was well-attended by local & regional business leaders & political leaders. Entertainment was provided by the choir from Blessed Mary MacKillop College, the local Wagga Wagga Ballet and a young woman (sorry I can't remember her name) who performed with the voice of an angel. The event was capably MC'd by non other than local news presenter Doug Hogan of Prime TV.

So, get your nominations in and be in the running for some great prizes!
