A must for all photographers and a location I had been desperate to get to since arriving on Australian shores back in 2003, Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park aka Ayers Rock and The Ulgas. First stop after our flight direct to Ayers Rock Airport was Kings Canyon a few hour drive away. Interestingly even though it’s a…
For a photographers location guide to this unique region be sure to read my Kings Canyon guide over on FreePhotoGuides.com. Finally a trip to Australia’s Northern Territory! Since first arriving on Australia’s shores in 2003 I have travelled the East and West coast quite extensively. It has only taken me 10 years but I finally made it to…
Thought I should finally post my Vivid Sydney 2013 timelapse on my blog. I actually posted this on my Facebook page a few weeks back and was thrilled to see all the Likes, Comments and Shares. The Vivid Sydney 2013 timelapse was shot over a couple of nights, well mostly one, the other night was…

If you love shooting waterfalls then I’ve just posted a location guide for Hazelbrook, a short drive from Sydney and a great spot to…
After teaching Photoshop up in Newcastle I thought it would be rude not to squeeze in a shoot. What better place to spend some precious photography time than at the mightily impressive Stockton Beach and its towering sand dunes. This is the second time I’ve been to Stockton and it still fills me with giddiness…
After a ton of rain a couple weeks back, pictures of the now raging waterfalls of Blue Mountains National Park where whetting my appetite (oh dear). With the continued rain I pulled the pin on a photography course I was taking that day and headed to Hazelbrook, a new place for me to explore. On…
Well what to say about the amazing Claustral Canyon…first up a word of warning. For anyone that might be inspired to venture to Claustral Canyon please note doing so is extremely dangerous and has resulted in death for a number of people. It should only be undertaken by those who are fit and experienced in…
This shot came to me the other day for some reason and Sunday was the day to shoot it. What you are looking at is a transition from day to night. The right hand side of the image was photographed at sunset which casts a beautiful warming light, the left light by the almost full…
The best camera is the one that’s with you, unfortunately the camera in question is generally my iPhone. That’s the thing with fancy camera’s (my 5DmkII), they are big, heavy and not so discrete. Especially when you want to shoot time lapse in a revolving restaraunt whilst out with the mother in law. So the…
Being a new member to the AIPP I was extremely excited to attend this years AIPP ‘The Event’ in Hunter Valley, Australia. As an added bonus Robert Gatto the MD of Kayell invited me to a private dinner at the amazing Tempus Two Winery. I was sat at the big boys table with Peter Eastway…
I have the pleasure of gracing the cover of next months Australian Photography + Digital magazine don’t you know. Well one of my photos is, to have a photo of me might not ‘shift’ magazines so well. The photo is of the amazing Walls of China, Mungo National Park a location I will never forget…
Overlooking the expanse of Alpine National Park, the iconic Craig’s Hut is surrounded by the beauty of Mount Stirling in Victoria’s High Country. Craig’s Hut was originally built for the Australian film “The Man from Snowy River“. The original hut was burnt down in bush fires (2006) but has recently been rebuilt allowing for the…
Often when the weather is at its worst we get moments of brilliance and this evening at North Narrabeen was no exception. Looking East the horizon was filled with grey looming clouds, the rain was on its way. I love that about Australia, the rain doesn’t sneak up on you like it might do in…
I had the pleasure of photographing The Edit girls recently up at Middle Head, Sydney. These talented girls have an amazing fashion blog and were in need of some professional head and group shots for an industry awards nomination. After giving up on my remote triggers I hooked up a sync cable and shot…
I spent a long evening on my own up in Blue Mountains National Park in an attempt to nail this shot. I had attempted this before with mixed results so I went back with some lessons learnt and tried again. Arriving at Wentworth Falls in plenty time I knew sunset would be nothing special but…
