Moss Rocks by Michael Howard
This was taken along a bush track in the Barrington National Park. I was in awe of the green, moss covered rocks laying under large gum trees. It is an effort to do it justice in one photo, you just have to see it. Just an awesome place! Nikon D700 24-70mm @ 24mm / Hoya Pro1 UV filter / 13sec, F/16

Storm at the Beach by Andrew Murrell
This was about 4pm on the 20th November 2009. One of the most electrical active storms I have seen came slowwwly across Umina beach and I was able to catch about 30 daylight lightning strikes. This is one of the better ones as it has not just the lightning but a typical beach feel. Just b4 this image was taken the lifeguards came down and closed the beach. This image taken with a Nikon D300 and the 18-70mm lens. Set at f18 and at .5 second exposure time.

Empty by Andrew Murrell
Considering this was a day in the high 30’s the beach was empty by 4pm due to a severe thunderstorm. This slow moving cell was unbelievably active for lightning and it was easy to catch daylight lightning strikes. Taken with a Nikon D300 using the 18-70mm lens at f18

Daylight lightning by Andrew Murrell
I have wanted to get some good images of Daylight lightning for a while now and the 20th Nov 2009 was the day. A very slow moving storm cell passed overhead, and it was amazing in it’s activity. This image was taken about 10 minutes after the storm had passed overhead. But as it was moving very slowly it was still far to close to be in the open. Just after this image a bolt struck less that 100m off the beach where I was, made me jump about 6 foot. Image taken with a Nikon D300 and the 18-70mm lens at f18

Barrington Storm by Andrew Murrell
My wife and I recently spent a week in the Barrington tops region north of Newcastle. Not only is it beautiful country but it is close to home. Our first night there a storm was passing just to the south of us through Dungog. This was a lightning strike close to us and the flash illuminated the rain falling from the clouds. As the storm was far away I had the apeture open to f4 which is fine for distant lightning but terrible for a close flash. I have had to adjust in Camera Raw to get the details of the lightning stike as good as I can. not other adjustments have been done. Image taken with a Nikon D300 and the 18-200mm lens at f4 and 30sec exposure.

Up the Creek by Andrew Murrell
During our visit to the Barrington region we stayed at the Barrington Retreat cabins. They are located just outside the Chiseter Dam. The creek runs past the Picnic viewing area and this little rapid with a small area of rainforest was there. The mossy rock and tree caught my eye and I wanted to catch a Pano of it showing the creek flowing past. This is a 2 image Pano shot with a Nikon D300 and the 18-200mm VR lens. A polariser and a 2 stop ND filter had the exposure time at 8 seconds at f16. The images were combined in CS3.

About This Group
This site is for those interested in promoting the Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens and the Hunter River regions of New South Wales Australia. The aim is to show the world what we have to offer. After all we have unlimited beaches, rivers, lakes, mountains, vineyards, just to name a few. For years the area has been cloaked in its industrial cloud, now that has lifted and others are seeing this area for the wonderful easy lifestyle that it can offer. All photo images, artistic drawings, writing, journals and clothing are encouraged but must be able to be identified as being of the region.
The work submitted must clearly identify the area and must be accomanpied by a description of where it is and what it is. Images of animals and flowers will be accepted AS LONG AS THESE IMAGES SHOW A SIGNIFICANCE TO NEWCASTLE AND THE REGION. So if its just an image of an animal without the scenery identification, then it will be rejected – there are other groups who cater for this work. THIS GROUP IS TO PROMOTE THE BEAUTY OF THE REGION.
Even though there is an unlimited number of images allowed in the group, there is a limit of 3 images per person per day. This is mainly to make it fair to others in the group who suddenly might find their work buried immediately in distant pages.
