Black Boys_Millers Landing_Wilsons Promontory

Wilsons Promontory is one of my favorite locations for landscape photography. Situated on the southernmost tip of the Australian mainland the boundaries of the prom enclose a very special place: a haven for wildlife, remote wilderness and a national park with sensational walks and sublime natural beauty.
The above image, a close up of a Black [...]

Pic of the Week_Sunrise_Squeaky Beach_Wilsons Promontory National Park

Squeaky Beach is a favourite location for visitors to Wilsons Promontory National Park in Victoria, Australia. This image was made at sunset. As I was facing the sun the difference in brightness between the dark foreground rocks and the much brighter sky was extreme. As a result the rocks were rendered as a silhouette. This [...]

Pic of the Week – Sunset_Oberon Bay_Wilsons Promontory National Park

 
Oberon Bay is a lovely pocket within the magnificent Wilsons Promontory National Park in Victoria, Australia. This image was made at sunset with the warm sunlight illuminating the clouds and reflecting back into the water. The fact that the sky and water were relatively bright, in relation to the sand, required careful exposure to ensure [...]

Bringing Simplicity to a Complex Scene

 
Here’s a pretty place: Oberon Bay at the wonderful Wilsons Promontory National Park in Victoria, Australia. This image was made in late afternoon on a beautifully cool, sunny day.
I was working with another photographer and we’d manage to organise ourselves well enough to make it to this sweet place well before our planned sunset shoot. [...]

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.

Low Light Photography

Under low light conditions (eg. at the edges of the day, indoors or under heavy shade) it’s often best to shoot with a wide Aperture (eg. f4). This will provide a faster shutter speed than would otherwise be the case. As a result you have more chance of being able to freeze action, reduce camera [...]

Pic of the Week – Rhapsody in Blue

The landscape itself was the inspiration for the image Rhapsody in Blue. The location, Squeaky Beach, situated on the southerly most part of the Australian mainland is a popular tourist site within Wilson’s Promontory National Park. While the beauty of the location is clearly evident, the concept that I’m exploring in this image is that [...]
