Profile
Welcome to my gallery. I’m a developing photographer from Brisbane, Australia and I mainly shoot Landscape/Nature and Macro photography but sometimes my interests are drawn to the night sky.
I have enjoyed photography for a few years now, beginning with disposable cameras, to film and then to digital point and shoot. I began to take my hobby more seriously after an inspiring holiday at Carnarvon Gorge National Park where my point and shoot was put to much use. I decided to buy a second hand Canon EOS 400D just under a year ago and not long after invested in a 100mm macro lens. Ever since then I have been taking photographs at every opportunity and have been improving my skills in shooting and post-processing.
All critique and comments are very much appreciate, I’m still learning new things about photography everyday so please don’t hesitate to give me a helping hand!
Equipment: Canon EOS 400D, Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di II, Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro, Canon EF 70-300mm plus UV and Polarise filters.

Love in Arms
I don’t want to be known, unknown / I want to go unnoticed, live with miles to breathe / I want not to feel with a pounding heart / I want a yearn and a passion, like it use to
Apple eye
This block of land / One thousand squared / I bought and planted there / Was an apple tree
Stop.
Smiles grow harder to hold / It’s a pain that withers away / A heart that stretches out / And a memory that never fades
Infinite
The stillness of the planet’s surface was deafening. Unruffled by wind or the crashing of waves, an eerie ringing filled my ears. I gazed up from the lifeless dust beneath me to the sprinkling o…
