Holtys Photos Apparel Information

Holtys Photos  Logo Stuff  .


NOT into advertising  because its only a hobby and will stay that way  but  get constantly asked by people  " How can we find your photos  ? "  and or " How do you spell it again ? "   .  Now they can read it for themselves or if they think they will forget  " just take a pic of the logo on your phone and you will have it forever  with the CORRECT spelling . "    Too Easy  and have to admit the  Straw Hats  were someones else's idea  . " Because you ALWAYS seem to be wearing one Holty ! "

2019 RACV 1 and 2 Cylinder Rally PHOTOS March 14-17




Went  down to Bright Victoria for a week  to  photograph  the 2019 RACV 1 and 2 Cylinder Rally  and  lets just  say I had a blast  . Great  location  , good people   ,  over 65 entrants   and Im hearing they liked the slide show   during the formal dinner   .    .  Went   down and came  back through Bathurst  and Mt Panorama   to  have a look  at the venue  before the HCCA event later in the year  .


Photos are in an  album on the website HERE


 Please note  the photos will be at a size and resolution  large enough  to  copy  for printing  directly off the site  .  IE:  2048 x 1365 @ 300 DPI  over 1 meg  or larger .





My ACCOMMODATION   in Bright  Victoria

Dont usually promote ANY accommodation  ever  but this is different .  Many thanks for your assistance with  changing my room  at VERY short notice to save me lugging   my  camera gear  up and down stairs .   The room  Holty ? ,  excellent .  You drive up to " the back " of the room  with  plenty of space to be able to not only park  but open BOTH side doors of the car . !!!!  The room is excellent with sliding doors opening out onto a large garden  with   modern BBQ facilities and a salt water pool  .  Far enough away from  town  to be quiet but close enough to walk if you wish  .  Im here for 5 nights  and would definitely stay again  .

Photo Editing Software



No really big on over editing photos   EXCEPT when Im  bored with plenty of time on my hands  but do  have a "play " with  new  revisions  as and when . Have done for a few years but  usually end up deleting  almost EVERY program  I " test"   well before the trial expires .   Yeah I know , we are all different   but considering this is only a  self funded hobby and 99%   of what I take is for the Internet  .  Enough said .

99%  of all that I need comes from FastStone  Image Viewer   plus its suits my eye  and I like how all the 4 panels  get "parked" off screen until you need them  .  Yes , I have "played" with lot  of others over the past few years .


 Also  use Affinity Photo  sometimes  because  I have  NIK Filters  working as a Plugin  on its platform . Win 10 ...  I dont use  maybe 90 %   of the rest of the program .


And last but not least   when  someone wants a decent file to print off  ,   DXO Photolab  Elite  . Had it  since it was Optics Pro days    . Expensive maybe but I love it  and hope one day they integrate Nik  Filters  to work with it  same as  FilmPack and ViewPoint  . To me its like having  an assistant   that knows my "style"   . 



Like I mentioned these are MY PERSONAL preferences , no one elses  .  Not into Adobe , never have  since about Elements 8 or so . Bloatware  .  Purchased  a full version of  ON1 Photo2019 Raw   , played with it for a month or so and deleted it . The list goes on  but to me , getting out and about to different venues , meeting like minded people    is  more fun than sitting (  or standing  )  in front of a monitor for hours on end  .

When people ask why " don't you do it for a job ? "   I just smile and walk away ....    Best Wishes   over Christmas and the New Year  and maybe , just maybe I will see some of you " out and about " in 2019  . Holty...

2018 Jampot Rally Photos


Going up to Boonah SE Qld  to photograph the AJS Matchless Club of Australias   2018 Jampot Rally over the 2 -3- 4th November weekend   .  Looking forward to meeting  new people  and seeing a lot of bikes I haven't seen or photographed before  .  I will be there from early Friday until Sunday afternoon and will post photos on the website in a "rough " timeline to make it easier for people to  find and copy their photos .


And off topic a little   I have found   some laid back accommodation a few klm from the event headquarters  in Boonah  SE Qld  .  Not one for giving references at all but I think this one could be a little different  and I will have to stay focused  on the Rally and not  digress  talking Interior Design   , Antiques and Collectables  .



Remember its Holtys  Photos    NOT Holties    and please  note :

Contrary to Popular Belief by Some .....................

NOT ALL the World  lives on  Social Media  ..


Was fortunate enough to get an invite to  attend the  HMCCQ  Centenary Veteran Motorcycle Rally based out of the  Flinders Peak Winery  north of Boondah SE Qld  a few months ago .  Knowing full well  most would not be on ANY Social Media platforms   gave the organisers  the link to an album  put up of photos I liked from the first four  days of the event  on the website  at a better resolution and filesize  for them to copy WITHOUT bugging me . :) 

I just rechecked the stats  and the "single image views"  are now over 80,000  World Wide  with  8,065 in the last 30 days  even though the event  was  3 months ago !!!  










Remember its Holtys NOT Holties
