Another shot from my early morning shoot today at Palm Cove (about 1km from where I live). / Taken from the boat ramp just as the sun exploded into view on another fine day in paradise. / Thanks RBers, for any views/comments. / Regards, / Matt I must go to bed as it’s been a 20 hour day now! ;)

Cairns birdwing caterpillar feeding on the pipe vine! Spikes are quite soft but they certainly look the part! Taken in my back yard in Innisfail far north Queensland.

Okay, it’s been 18months in the making, but I finally got myself up early enough for a dawn shoot at my local beach! lol / (Pick yourself off the floor Rob!) Freshly taken from Palm Cove, on the Cairns Northern Beaches this morning at sunrise, looking along the iconic PC jetty to Haycock & Double Islands. Thanks for any view or support as always. / Cheers, / Matt

The Henry Ross Lookout is on the Kennedy Highway (part of the Savannah Way), which cuts its way up the Macalister Range above Smithfield, a township in the Northern Beaches stretch north of Cairns, to Kuranda at the top of the range. The Kennedy Highway affords spectacular views of the low lying areas between the range and the ocean, and also takes one through lush rainforest areas. I took this exposure on a beautiful clear day. If you would like a High Definition wallpaper of this image, I have put a wallpaper version over at flickr:

taken on one of the tributaries to the Mulgrave River in the Wooroonooran National Park near Cairns she seeks a source of inspiration and his words come floating in / an image so pure / the stones beneath his water pull her in / when she’s lost, somehow reading his mind makes so much sense she steps through the water, across the riverstones / her yearning to know more is running / fast into the forests of places unseen and times yet to pass but I wont be ready until the rain / falls like tears / until your forest abounds this warm light inside if together there was a path it would lead forever / following rivers upstream to the beginnings / the taste of this river is fresh, these waters dream to me / twisting and falling across landscapes walking into the essence of a jungled world, this time stands still / a kaleidescope of feeling, she watches a leaf fall to the stream spiralling / floating its way down the river, to the world between but I wont be ready until the rain / falls like tears / until your forest abounds this warm light inside she returns in her my mind again and again, following, flowing, / this water so pure / she looks downstream to where the river disappears around the next bend / and the shadows of the dense forests / loom histories and futures to her reflection

Last shot from my morning shoot yesterday for now. Taken in the brighter part of dawn, where I was losing the option of slow shutter speeds. Forgive me for the title! ;)

Another butterfly…have managed to capture the male, however he refused to co-operate and open his wings…lol..always next time.
-
OK these pic’s are all starting to look the same, but I think I’m getting better at the butterfly bit. This guy is in my garden in Innisfail, north queensland.

Palmerston National Park. / These falls (Milla Milla) in the Atherton Tablelands of Cairns have been photographed to death, but I ‘think’ this is a foreground not used yet. / My patience was tested waiting for a moment where both the sun disappeared enough, along with the hoards of tourists (well, most anyway!)...but I eventually got that minute after about 2.5 hours. / All comments & views muchly appreciated. / Regards, / Matt Also from this series: / Mungalli Magic / Elinjaa Bliss /

On the way up to the base of the waterfall I found this rock pile. Very zen…

As per the title, this is a ‘Cairns Birdwing’ butterfly (male I believe). I loved the colour and also the fact that he’s actually quite large (think length of your hand from fingertip to wrist). Enjoy!

This is my first time out shooting lightning with camera & tripod. From the front lawn. Last night’s passing storm. One of the quotes that always stuck in my head from Pulp Fiction “and I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger” – Ezekiel. This photo makes me think of that. Mother nature is so powerful.

Male Cairns Birdwing Butterfly (Ornithoptera euphorion) at the Melbourne Zoo. / Australia’s largest endemic butterfly species, with females reaching a wingspan of up to 16 cm. Males are usually a few centimetres smaller. / Males have a predominately black upper wing with emerald green flashes, however the female lacks the green colouring, having a plain black upper wing with white patches. The female is the larger of the two sexes. The larvae or caterpillars of this species breed on several species of pipe vine. The leaves of the introduced Dutchman’s Pipe (Aristolochia elegans) will kill the larvae of this species and several other swallowtail butterflies in Australia. The Cairns Birdwing Butterfly lives in tropical rainforests between Mackay and Cooktown in north-east Queensland, Australia. It is most often seen flying in the canopy of the rainforest. / The destruction of tropical rainforest has led to a decline in the population of the Cairns Birdwing Butterfly and it is now a protected species. / http://www.arazpa.org.au/ D300. Lens 105mm Nikkor f/2.8 ED VR / 1/60s, f/4.0, ISO:800

Another butterfly, sorry but they are hard to resist….. taken in my backyard in Innisfail, Queensland.

Taken with a Canon 50D, Sigma 10-20 lens at 10mm, F16, ISO100, shutter speed 0.2 to 0.4 seconds, edited in Photomatix tweaked in Photoshop Conistone, which it is said means ‘farmstead of cows’ or ‘Kings Manor’ is a charming and quiet village hidden away from the main road to the east of Wharfedale. It was mentioned in the Domesday book as Cunestune. Conistone Dib is a narrow gorge, which was created by post-glacial floodwater, and leads upwards from the village green, through Gurling Trough, to an area of spectacular limestone scenery.

Ben Cairn is a small basalt cliff near Mt Donna Buang in the Yarra Valley to the east of Melbourne. I took this on the same day I took trees in the mist after teaching for the day at Upper Yarra Secondary College. Donna Buang is the closest peak to Melbourne to regularly see winter snows. I’d love to visit Ben Cairn in the white stuff one day. It would be a big trip however being a long way from the closest open road. In summer it is also one of the closest rock climbing areas to Melbourne and although mosses grow verdantly on its faces each winter a small group of hard core climbers return each year to clean them off and scale there medium height. I last climbed there in 1993, climbing seven routes including the imaginatively named ‘Frankenstein and the Wereturkeys’. For more pics from this area check out my Yarra Valley gallery.
