I’ve been busy planning a two week trip to Iceland starting in a matter of days. It’s a bit daunting when planning such trips. You know nothing about the place, what to expect, where to go, how best to spend your time, what everything will cost, and how to fit it all in. After much…
What’s happened in 2014 It’s the end of 2014 and time to reflect on what I’ve achieved in the last year. It’s been a funny year for me after relocating to Nice, France in January. I’ve been somewhat unsettled learning a new language, and culture. I’ve taken a back seat business-wise, spending a lot of…
Armed with two cameras, we set off before 5am to explore Cappadocia by hot air balloon. We met our hot air balloon in a field on the outskirts of Göreme. I had never flown(?) in a hot air balloon before. The whole experience was just amazing. The take off and landing were barely noticeable and…
Weather in the mountains is hard to predict. Not that I did any research, I had my trip planned and I would photograph the landscape with what ever weather I was presented with. For this trip I arrived in the midst of one of the seasons last snow falls. The sky was a white out,…
The Loire Valley in France was more than just some fancy Chateau’s (photos to come), it was beautiful countryside too. The drive there from Paris reminded me of the UK actually. Everything was so green…and it was raining. I didn’t realise how much agriculture is there, and so close to Paris. Fields of sunflowers, wheat,…
With a record amount of snow falling on the Southern Alps and being only a 2 hour drive away it would be rude not to go for a spot of skiing. It would also be rude not to take all my camera gear on the off chance there were some shots to be taken. I…
After a restless night in Refuge de la Madone de Fenestre I was last to get out of bed and out the door, it was still half an hour before sunrise. I’ll say it again, got to love these mountain people….who needs sleep. It was the end of the season so the snow had formed…
A weekend photographing the snow, I was excited to say the least. The only problem was it was May, spring had sprung, and with the warm temperatures we had been experience in Nice there was a chance I may not see any snow at all. Passing through Saint-Martin-Vésubie I drove down one of the two nearby roads that lead to the…
I’m an avid fan of Lee filters using their Neutral Density (ND) filters on almost every shoot. However I’ve always cringed at the thought of using their coloured filters. I mean why would I want my photos to look like the opening scene of CSI Miami? I had it in my mind there was no…
La Roquette sur Var, France taken on a recent visit to my soon to be home. With some trepidation I’m saying au revoir Australia and bonjour France. If you missed that, I’m leaving Australia and moving to Nice, France. From January 2014 I will be starting this new chapter of my life with my then…
Here’s a video of myself photographing in Slovenia and some of the resulting photographs. Slovenia is a stunning country with Triglav National Park being a highlight. Click the links below to see the photos from Bled and Triglav. Slovenia Photographs: Triglav National Park, Slovenia Bled, Slovenia I don’t think Peter Lik has anything to worry…
Lake Bled, in the far North West of Slovenia is a glacial lake surrounded by the Julian Alps. On its shore is Bled, a popular tourist destination and a great place to base yourself whilst exploring the nearby Vintgar Gorge and Triglav National Park. Pilgrimage Church of the Assumption of Mary stands at the top of 99 steps…
Triglav National Park (Triglavski Narodni Park), Slovenia was an unexpected surprise on my travels through Europe. Our first stop after Slovenia’s capital, Ljubjana was Bled which sits on the outskirts of the park. Little did I know the amazing scenery that lay just a few kilometers away. A short drive from possibly the worst hotel…
The top 50 places have just been announced for this years Epson International Photographic Pano Awards. I’m pleased to announce I placed 13th in the Open Nature Category, lucky for some! This is a massive achievement, the calibre of photography posted year on year makes it extremely difficult to get any award let alone to place in the…
The quaint Italian town of Alberobello, famous for its conical roofed white buildings (trulli) found in this region. A popular tourist destination, I spent half a day here on my way through to Bari before catching a boat over to Croatia.
