Featured Work

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.

Our Goong Goong by scottsphotos

My Wife’s grandpa (or Goong Goong in Chinese) at one of his many great grandchildrens birthdays…I was taking photos of the kids playing and came up the stairs and as he often is he just stands and watches them through the window with this deep joy…I aimed the camera at him and he looked at me and was totally unperturbed…He just had this look of total peace and dignity which I can only think is the fruits of a long and fulfilling life.
