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 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…
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…
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…
Straight from France is this years Kolor Panobook 2012. I’m delighted to have two of my panoramic images included in this years edition after submitting my images to their annual competition. I use Kolor’s excellent software to stitch my panoramic photos together. It offers many powerful tools for stitching panoramic images and I wouldn’t hesitate…
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…
Wallace’s Hut, Falls Creek Wallace’s Hut, Falls Creek in Victoria’s alpine region photographed early winter. The first snow had all but closed this area to the tourist traffic that frequents the iconic location. Thanks to the advice of others our early morning visit from Bright was not wasted. The gate had been closed but not…
Mount Buffalo National Park In the alpine region of Victoria, Mount Buffalo National Park always promised uncompromising beauty. A journey to this location with fellow photographers Tim Wrate, and Chris Smith proved to be fruitful experience. The photos below were captured over the short period of a sunset and a sunrise. This was one occasion…

I’ve been browsing my archives over the last few days looking for specific photos to add to a series I’m doing. I came across what appears to be my first ever RAW file captured back in July, 2006. Now I shoot exclusively in RAW so this was a momentous occasion marking a stepping stone in…
A bit different to my usual landscape, I shot this panoramic of Circular Quay whilst out teaching a private photography course. Photographed from the top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge Pylon Lookout, an excellent place for panoramic views of the city, if only it stayed open after 5pm a sunset here would be amazing. This…
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…
A first for me, the elusive Silver Award at this years Epson International Pano Awards 2012. I must be doing something right, well at least better. All my entry’s were awarded, with two of the Bronze awards falling just short of a silver. The first year I entered the competition no one was awarded a…
Ok so technically the first image is from Hong Island, but it’s close to Railay Bay. In fact it is a short boat ride and well worth the visit. If you go there say hello to my little friend, Pavel. Oh how I miss you Thailand! I spend half a year in Thailand back in…
Plitvice Lakes was one location that I was desperate to visit. Of course I wasn’t disappointed, I loved every minute of it as I trekked around the several miles of rickety walkways (much to the delight of my partner, Jess). Being there in Autumn made it all the more special, the leaves were on the turn…
