Princes Pier is a very popular location for photographers, so much so that when I arrived there were around 20 other photographers from a Facebook group at the end of the pier. I had hopes of catching some nice light from sunset but alas the clouds were not cooperating and sunset itself was a non…
I visited the Toorongo Falls a couple of years ago and had wanted to return ever since. With some prompting from my son and some fortuitous rain the night before it seemed the perfect opportunity to make the 75 minute drive to the carpark. The walk isn’t too long or difficult but it is uphill…
Blue Sunset was taken from my favorite hill in Pakenham one evening when the sunset was looking promising. The image has for some reason always had an attraction for me and has been the background on my tablet for as long as I can remember. It was stitched together from 3 landscape oriented photos resulting…
Storm over Pakenham was taken during a particularly fierce storm just South West of Pakenham in Victoria, Australia back in November 2011. As the storm got closer I could hear it getting louder and louder and the green cast made me think there was more than just rain on the way. By the time I’d…
Like Gods Fury, Gippsland Lightning was taken while a huge thunderstorm passed Pakenham. This image was taken a little earlier than Gods Fury from the same location. It didn’t have the same drama about it as Gods Fury, but still manages to have a little “wow” factor due to the multiple lightning strikes in the…
The Penitentiary at Port Arthur in Tasmania is but one of many historic buildings at this very popular tourist destination, but don’t let that put you off as the site is quite large and you won’t have to elbow your way through crowds to “see the sights.” It’s an easy stroll to take your own…
I was lucky enough to capture Dunalley Bay on the way back from a day trip to Port Arthur with the family during a holiday in Tasmania. The Arthur Highway passes the bay quite closely and with the tide out these very interesting ripples in the sand presented an excellent opportunity to capture this unusual…
Gods Fury was taken while a huge thunderstorm passed Pakenham to the south over French Island. A group of us had gathered on the top of a hill in a new subdivision which provided excellent views south and east of Pakenham. Using a tripod to keep the camera steady, I closed down my aperture to f14…
South Cape Bay is the southern most place that people can reasonably get to in Australia. From Hobart you need to travel south, following the roads to Southport before turning off at Hastings Cave Rd which turns into Lune River Rd and following that to the very end at Cockle Creek, 4WD not required. Now…
Shades of Twilight was as the name suggests, taken after sunset while on a train trip to Bairnsdale, Victoria located about 280km east of Melbourne. Why a train trip you might ask. When I was a kid I traveled a number of times by train from Penrith NSW to Mudgee in the Central West of…
