So my Japan Winter Wonders photo tour for February 2027 is once again fully booked! I suspected the spot would go fast, as this tour always fills up fast.
Sorry if you were considering it and missed out, I would love to have you along in 2028. If you would like to be on the early notification list for the 2028 Japan Winter tour, drop me an email at tours@adammonk.com and I’ll add you to the list.
Continuing on from my very previous post… in March 2025… On the Histogram.
Shooting in raw indicates that you plan to edit your images later. Raw images rarely look good straight out of camera, so they really do need editing, and the raw format gives you a lot of latitude to do this.
When shooting raw you should explore “Shooting to the right”. Meaning, push your histogram as far right as you can without “clipping” the highlights. Of course your preview will look washed out and almost devoid of colour and highlight detail, sometimes the highlights will look blown out. Ignore this…

This tour normally fills up as soon as I post it on the web, without it ever getting to a newsletter, so if you are interested jump in quick! You can see all the details and the booking link HERE>>>
It’s amazing how time flies, I’ve just looked back and realised my last post was March last year… yet I have 4 posts in draft that are basically ready to go. Clearly I need a manager, or a PA… If only I could get someone to pay for that…
Back on topic, I put up the details for next year’s (2027) Japan Winter wonders tour, sent the details to a small group who had expressly asked to be notified early and now its fully booked… Sorry if you were waiting for that but missed out. I would love to welcome you for the next tour in 2028.
If you would like to know details as soon as they are at hand, email me at tours@dammonk.com and I can put you on the early notification list
My Karijini Photo Tour for April 2023 is out and ready to book, actually its already half full. Since this tour is for an exclusive group of just 4 participants it means there are only 2 spots left.

Camera Electronic’s Perth Photolive Expo is happening again in Perth this year. We missed a couple of years of Photolive due to COVID, but now it’s back, bigger and even better than before. Once again it’s on at the main conference room at the Novotel Langley Hotel in the Perth CBD, Sunday the 7th August 9am – 5pm.
It’s that time again, the iconic Perth PhotoMarket and camera swapmeet is on again this Sunday, 24th July 2022. The Workshop Camera Club has been running this event about 4 times a year for 25 years now, I have been going along on and off for most of them!
COVID is still around, but it does look like it’s reaching a state of “normality” where we are finally accepting that we must find a way to live with it… Which in Australia has definitely NOT been the policy so far. So far we have been more “keep it out at all costs”, Which means we have missed out on all the gruelling measures and the death toll that most of the world has been enduring.

We are living in interesting times right now, something that is for most people quite unprecedented. The COVID19 pandemic has created chaos to the whole world and many people are suffering.
At a time like this it seems a little frivolous to talk about Photo Tours, but we all must do our part, so basically all of our current tours are postponed until further notice. We will post any updates here as the situation evolves (See individual tour pages for full details).
I think the most important thing right now is to remain calm and be extra nice to each other. We are all in this together, but some are doing it harder than others. Those who are older and can’t get out to shop or walk their dog, those who have lost their jobs and are struggling to make ends meet in this crisis. Start with your friends and neighbours, make contact with those you might not have seen for a while (we are all so busy normally), ask if you can help them. Or, if you are one of those in need, ask friends for help, there is no shame in needing a little help.
As a lovely lady, who has personally lived through 2 world wars, mentioned to me today: The way to get through these things is to pull together. We are all in this together, be generous and together we can survive it.
Be strong if you can, and be kind. See you on the other side.
After 13 years of running the Fremantle gallery it has come down to just two weeks to go until the end… Well, until I close the gallery anyway, which for me is really a beginning, the beginning of the next chapter.
To make a little easier for everyone to know what stock I have available on sale I have created a web page with a list that you can see HERE>>
