Early this morning, I drove over to Kings Rocks (Stanley, Tasmania, Australias island state) and got up close and personal with some nesting Mollyhawks (aka Pacific Gull). Stanleyites call them Mollys, but I think they are gulls of some description, and I know someone will tell me. Very Big gulls…...well over a metre wingspan, and magnificent to see close at hand. I was two metres below them, and they got quite used to my prescence, so maybe, in time, they might let me photograph the chicks in a few weeks or so. Canon 5D Mk II / Canon 200mm lens / F8 at 1/800 th sec / ISO 1000 / 1/3 under / polariser / handheld / pooing my britches until they settled down, / and got used to my intrusion!!
During Our summer family holiday during the month of August in Cornwall, my family and I met up with redbubbler and friends Rob Parsons and his good lady Jean who showed around some of the beautiful spots where they lived, this was shot on the way up from the village of Boscastle on the Cornish coast towards the headlands, we were in for a fabulous sunset, this was shot during that golden hour. / Shot with a Nikon D300 and Sigma 10-20mm lens /

Yes, yes, its back again! Ok, I know I have perhaps over-photographed this location, but to me its an iconic sight and lighthouses are my favorite buildings. And, its never the same twice with the ever-changing drama of coastal weather, so here it is again, bathed in warm sunset light.

An early morning at Brac boat harbour
Rocky Mountain National Park
This shot was made at Maroubra, Sydney. / Dull lifeless rocks… some water… some clouds… / But then some magical light bubbles up and it becomes evident, that the whole world is a treasure! It depends on Light and wheather you want to see how perfect is it. / Even if you don’t see the Sun, it is there. More bright version available!! Feel free to ask!

I shot this image specifically for an American friend, when she asked me how I dealt with overhead wires. “Embrace them,” I said to her – although I did point out that this advice should not be taken literally! This was shot on an icy cold Melbourne winter morning, while I waited for a train at Richmond station. I noticed the light-blue patch of sky above the horizon and decided this was the perfect opportunity to show my friend what I meant. Using the overhead wires as a strong and repetitive diagonal motif, I chose to anchor the image around the signal lights above my head, using the strong silhouette of their protective metal “cage” to highlight the thick grey clouds. The myriad diamond-like patterns were perfect for what I had in mind. The three huge light towers in the distance belong to the most famous Australian sporting ground of all – the Melbourne Cricket Ground, which was the home of the 1956 Olympics and the 2006 Commonwealth Games. I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F4.5, 1/10 sec, ISO 800, focal length 50mm. 114-7039

This is an old bridge over the anabranch of the Darling River near Wentworth in NSW. An anabranch is where a section of a river diverges from the main stream and rejoins it later. This one is 180km long. Taken early in the morning using a Nikon D90 and a Sigma 10-20mm lens.
This shot is taken from a plane while flying Seoul – Osaka (Kansai). The dark stuff at the top is actually another cloud layer.

The Pantiles from the Lower Walk / MCN: C1J1M-GJGER-BGL1N Canon G9 ISO 200 1/13 at f2.8 Texture overlay courtesy of SkeletalMess / The History of the Pantiles / The Pantiles and Tunbridge Wells itself, owe their beginnings to the discovery of the Chalybeate Spring in the early 17th century and the popularity of the spa water amongst the gentry and royalty of Georgian England. As Tunbridge Wells grew in popularity as a spa resort, so did the area surrounding the Spring – eventually leading to the building of the colonnaded walkway in the 18th century, later known as The Pantiles. / In its heyday in Georgian times, the ‘Walks’ as they were then known, were the place to see and be seen for visitors to Tunbridge Wells. A strict protocol was adhered to – gentry on the ‘Upper Walks’, the colonnade, and everyone else on the ‘Lower Walks’. Richard Beau Nash, a dandy of the day made it his business to ensure that this protocol was adhered to by acting as a kind of Master of Ceremonies during ‘the season’ in Tunbridge Wells and in the town’s rival, Bath. Things are much more relaxed nowadays and the Pantiles is now a very attractive and stylish part of Royal Tunbridge Wells. / Much of the colonnade has been renewed since its beginnings in the 17th century but most of the surrounding buildings date from the 18th and 19th centuries.
