As you may already know I’m an administrator for a great photography resource freephotoguides.com. I’ll let you check it out and find out what it is all about on your own. 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…
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…
I was invited to join a Google Plus get together over the weekend by Jason Baker down at Cronulla’s sand dunes. I met Jason at one of my social events a month or so back and mentioned to him my interest in doing some light painting. This sort of light painting was a first for…
As I drive about I often look up to the sky to see what the weather is doing (I can be easily distracted). Even if I’m not out photographing I still try to predict what the sunset will be like to better my understanding. The more I know about the weather the more likely I…
Heading up the coast towards Palm Beach a well hidden pathway leads you to this hidden headland. A short walk to the cliffs edge and a step decent brings you to the base of Bangalley Headland and to numerous photo opportunities. This part of the world has great rock formations where the large surf rolls…
A weekend break from Sydney brought me to Stanwell Park only an hour South of Sydney and the next town up from Coalcliff. I know photographers that have travelled here from Sydney for sunrise so I gathered there must be something worthy to shoot. A short walk from the car I came across this awesome outlet…
I had little hope for a decent sunset on Friday when I headed over to Bradleys Head. It could have been brilliant but it had really set in and there were no breaks in the cloud cover for the sun to peak through. I will have to visit this great spot again for the shot…
Being from Scotland it’s nice to visit the Blue Mountains in the freezing cold of winter. It reminds me of Scotland, actually Scotland would be 10-20 degrees colder. All this beautiful Australian weather has turned me soft and 13C is now unbearable. Anyway, I took these whilst up in the Blue Mountains teaching a group my…
