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…
Click on the image to see the gallery. I was lucky enough to be at the 2017 Avalon Airshow as an exhibitor during the trade days and take these photos on my lunch break and after the closing of the pavilions each day. The trade days focus on the exhibitors, so flying displays are kept…
During my recent trip to Toorongo Falls, I came across this fungi growing on a fallen tree just to the side of the walking track. I think what caught my eye was the way the sunlight happened to highlight the orange edges of the fungi just at the moment. By the time my camera was…
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…

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…
This Lotus Blossom photo was also taken at the Blue Lotus Water Garden just past Yarra Junction, North East of Melbourne in Victoria, Australia. The image has always reminded me of the animated kids movie “A Bugs Life”. I think it’s because of the simplicity and clean background combined with the upward view but maybe…
This Lotus Blossom photo was taken at the Blue Lotus Water Garden located just a little further along the Warburton Hwy from Yarra Junction during a Pakenham Camera Club outing. We had a great day and after walking around the gardens for a couple of hours, enjoyed lunch at the onsite cafeteria. The flowers are…
