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…
The iconic Bolte Bridge spans the Yarra River and is located approximately 2km to the west of the Melbourne CBD. Forming a critical part of the city’s road transport infrastructure, the Bolte Bridge could be considered the junction for the Westgate Freeway to the west, Tullamarine Freeway to the northwest & international airport and lastly…
Firstly I’d like to wish everyone a Happy New Year. These photos were taken from the western side of Melbourne CBD. I had hoped to find a good vantage point around the Docklands area but hadn’t counted on just how crowded it would be so that turned out to be a bust. Having pre-planned with…

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…
Flinders Street Station was taken on the same Pakenham Camera Club outing as the Eureka Tower photo. The photo is from Southbank Promenade across the Yarra River at ISO 100, f1.8 and 1.6 seconds shutter. I had taken a number of images at setting like f8.0 and 20 seconds shutter in an effort to try…
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…
The Eureka Tower photo was taken from Enterprise Wharf on the banks of the Yarra River in Melbourne during a Pakenham Camera Club outing to capture the city by night. The image is a 20 second exposure at ISO 100. This image achieved 1st Place B Grade in our clubs monthly competition and a Highly…
