Sculpture by the sea happens every year and is a display of around 100 sculptures set into the landscape on the south headland of Bondi Beach and stretching around to Tamarama Beach. This is the first time I’ve visited it and decided to go with a friend for a mid-week sunrise shoot. This was partly…
Govetts Leap at the top of the Blue Mountains is a favourite spot of mine. This is a dawn shoot and was blessed some interesting cloud, but also mist in the valley below. This was shot from a lower vantage point that the car park area at the top, and I think it gave me…
A return to Floriade in Canberra (an annual display of over 1 million spring bulbs – mainly tulips – in Commonwealth Park) was long overdue.It didn’t fail to impress, but we did miss the peak of the tulips due to the warm weather in early spring bringing them on earlier than usual. But this year,…
Where and Why? Over a year since the last post – that’s what a busy work schedule will do for you!This was a quick ‘n’ dirty evening of astro photography in September 14th 2023. Wentworth Falls is not really dark enough for serious astro work, but it was a good opportunity to refresh the skills…
Where? That’s what I said when this was suggested as a location! Having lived in Sydney for more than 50 years, I had never heard of it. Turns out it is a small beach located between Warriewood and Narrabeen Beaches on the Northern Beaches of Sydney. Its dominant feature is a large rock shelf on…
Sydney Zoo opened a couple of years ago and is only half and hour away from me. So a lovely (rare) sunny day in early May was the perfect chance to pay a visit with the camera. The zoo is quite small, but being a new facility, it is built with both animal and human…
Since forever, I’ve been fascinated by astro photography. The ability of even a modest camera to capture detail in the night sky that our naked eye simply cannot perceive unaided means there is a whole new world of photography to be explored. I have played around with some images of the moon in 2021 –…
The Blue Mountains Botanical Gardens at Mt Tomah is a well known and respected place to view a range of cool climate, mainly native gardens.I made a quick trip to cash on on the a rare day of sun (or at least partial sun) on the Anzac Day long weekend.It was crowded, making some angles…
There is a popular loop walking track called the ‘Nature Track’ that starts and ends at the Conservation Hut in Wentworth Falls. The main track is around 3.0 kilometres long and would be rated as ‘easy’.It includes a handful of lookouts (which are nice, but not spectacular), but it also leads to a number of…
This is a location I keep coming back to multiple times as there is such a range of interesting view, places and objects to photograph.I saw this Harman crane and shed first in 2021 when driving past. This time I stopped and took some time to get a few shots.The story behind the crane is…
