I thoroughly enjoy living in beautiful Tasmania, Australia’s island state. I am spoilt rotten by the multitude of outstanding photographic prospects here, either along the coastline, or the wonderful hinterland of mountains and rivers.
The camera I use is the Canon 5D Mk II, accompanied by Canon lenses 28-135, 200, 17-40, 50, 100 and a Zeiss 21mm. I use Lee ND filters, and occasionally a polariser……An old and rusty Slik Tripod finally gave up the ghost the other day, and a ball-headed Manfrotto has taken over the bed. The old Slik was at deaths door (after 30 years mind you) from too much salt and sand!
The buzz from photography has been with me for years…….and to be here on RB amongst leaders and contemporaries of their field provides a terrific learning experience.
I am constantly amazed at the beauty that is everywhere….right at your feet more often than not! Don’t always look ahead…..turn around and see where you’ve come from, and missed!!
…….I feel that images are created from the moment, from the junction of thought and creativity…….which means photography can be like some sports… once you’re in the “zone”, things start to happen….your “eye” sees the shot, and your mind just follows orders!!…..
Anyhow, have a laugh, or a cry, or whatever, as you check out how I see the world…..and if you are moved in some way, well, thats great!!……It means I’ve done my part in making your day in some way!!

BTW….I now have my own gallery called the “Cow ‘N’ Calf Art Gallery” here in Stanley, so drop in and say g’day!
