about wavelength photography
wavelength photography is a Melbourne based photographic business, specialising in colourful
and unique wilderness images of Australia. For over 5 years now Logan
and Lloyd Shield have travelled to some of the most inaccessible parts of the
continent as well as abroad to capture images that would intrigue and
inspire their audience. With many of our wild places on the endangered
list, these images serve not only to record the beauty of our landscape,
but also to encourage others to become more actively involved in its preservation.
Most of our wilderness images were taken with either a Pentax 645 medium format camera or a Tachihara wooden field camera using a 6x9 roll film back. The images from Nepal and Burma were taken with a Pentax P30t, while the urban images were captured with a Nikon F80.
Fuji Velvia ISO 50, commonly with a polarising filter and 81 series warm up filter, was used for the majority of the wilderness images due to its outstanding colour saturation and fine grain. Other films used include
Kodak Ektachrome E200 Professional, Kodak Elite Chrome 200 and Fuji Provia
100.
biographies
Lloyd Shield
To see the ever-changing interaction of landscape and light is one of life’s great pleasures. To photograph this is an added joy. Little wonder then, with his long-standing pursuits of bushwalking and photography, that landscape is his photographic passion. He particularly enjoys coastal scenery while urban or rural landscape structures are also a great interest.
Lloyd's major qualifications are in the medical field but in order to improve his photographic knowledge and expertise, and to gain formal recognition in the discipline, he completed a four year part time Advanced Diploma of Photography in 2005.

Having completed a Bachelor of Science with honours, majoring in Physics, Logan's scientific background has inspired him to create images which convey the concept of time. He also enjoys photographing the diverse patterns that are found in our natural environment.
Logan has travelled widely throughout South East Asia, to countries such as Nepal, Burma, Laos, Vietnam and Thailand, and for over 15 years now, he has bushwalked extensively throughout southern Australia and especially South-West Tasmania. Logan also enjoys playing the guitar and sitar.
