Color Infrared_Flowers

Here’s one for the old timers. I produced this image after a conversation with Michelle and Ellen, two participants in a course I’m teaching. We’d been looking at a variety of photographer’s websites and were impressed by one site, in particular, where the images displayed somewhat of a bleached faded color, reminiscent of how prints [...]

Evening Comes_Point Roadknight_Great Ocean Road

This image was made with the wonderful Hasselblad X-PAN II camera. I remember feeling how well suited this location, just outside the Great Ocean Road town of Anglesea, was to the panoramic format.
The image was made just after sunset. I was happy to be able to make use of the warm sunset light, shinning up [...]

Time and Tide_Great Ocean Road_Victoria

 
This is one of my favourite images. Made during the afterglow in the Port Campbell National Park, near the famous Twelve Apostles, along the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia.
It was so exciting to witness the waves washing back and forward from the sea onto the cliffs and back again. The beautiful but fast-fading low [...]

Pier at Dusk_Barwon Heads_Victoria

 
You may recognise this image. It forms the banner at the top of this site’s home page.
The image was made at Barwon Heads on the Bellarine Peninsular in Victoria, Australia. With the aid of gentle dusk light and a narrow aperture of f22, to achieve maximum Depth of Field (DOF), the required exposure was 8 minutes. [...]

Dawn_Scenes Creek_Great Ocean Road

 
Here’s an image made on a bleak morning at Scenes Creek just outside Apollo Bay on the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia. With the amazing sunrise for which I’d hoped not likely to eventuate, I turned my attention to the incoming tide and the foreground rock that had, no doubt, been worn down by [...]

Sunrise_Hamilton Island

Here are some images from a trip to Hamilton Island in the beautiful Whitsunday Islands. Situated off the coast of Queensland, Australia the island is a great place to unwind from the stresses of a busy lifestyle. The few days I spent on the island provided a great break from my hectic teaching schedule and [...]

Craigs Hut

 
Those folks that have been following my posts over the last few weeks would be aware of the terrible bushfires we’re currently experiencing in my home state of Victoria. Today’s image features an iconic location, Craig’s Hut, on Mount Stirling in the Alpine National Park. Situated around 60 km east of Mansfield the hut is [...]

Approaching Storm and Dune, Wilsons Promontory National Park

 
As always there is a story behind the making of this image. I was with another photographer exploring some of the less popular locations within Wilsons Promontory National Park. We decided to undertake the relatively short hike to Darby Beach for some sunset photography. It was a hot, flat walk to the beach via the [...]

Pic of the Week – Sunrise, Duck Point, Wilsons Promontory

 
The above image was made at sunrise at Duck Point, Wilsons Promontory National Park in Victoria, Australia. It was very cold and I was alone at this very secluded location. There was barely a breath of wind and the soft, warm sunrise seemed to linger. This slow movement of light and time only enhanced the [...]

Pic of the Week – Mystic Light

 
This was an amazing scene to behold and a great reward for an early start to the day.
