This shot was taken at Noosa National Park. As the sun was setting the light to the North was just so dramatic and colourful…I couldn’t resist
Taken in Mooloolaba this morning. Had to get up at 2am to be there on time but it was rewarding.
Going back to places I have been over and over before. Different tides reveal formations not seen before which is an incentive to visit the place over and over again…I am now looking forward to the low pressure system currently developing…interesting days ahead
Rock formations at low tide. Taken with my 5D and the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM lens. This is a 82mm lens and I am currently using Cokin Filters (handheld).....uuuuurrgh. I am very keen to get a Lee Neutral Density Filter set. If you have this setup I would be very interested to hear from you what experiences you have made in regards to vignetting and what Lee components you have mounted on your lens. Thanks heaps
As 2007 is fading out so are our chances blown away for some decent rain from that low pressure system out at sea. Was a very interesting beach walk anyway. / Happy new Year everyone!
Happy New Year everyone! This shot was taken at the Sunshine Coast just before Christmas 2007….well it’s an old shot isn’t it. Taken with my Canon 5D and the EF 16-35mm f/2.8 L II USM Lens. No Filter has been used but I did some fake HDR processing (single shot) using Dynamic Photo HDR. It’s a fun program and a great alternative to Photomatix.

The most well-known and important groundwater source in Australia is the Great Artesian Basin. This is a vast groundwater source that underlies 22 per cent of Australia – extending beneath the arid and semi-arid regions of Queensland, the Northern Territory, South Australia and New South Wales. It covers about 1.7 million square kilometres, and contains an estimated 8700 million megalitres of water. Not surprisingly, it’s one of the largest artesian water basins in the world. The water is coming from a depth of up to 3 kilometres, and some of the water is believed to be up to two million years old. The average water temperature is between 30 and 50 degrees, but it can be as hot as 100 degrees Celsius. The Great Artesian Basin has always been an important source of water for many Outback communities. Unfortunately, much of the water that is extracted is also wasted. It is estimated that up to 80 per cent of the total outflow from the Great Artesian Basin is wasted….
I found this bluetiful tree in a local park…rather spooky, aye
The SS Dicky was washed ashore onto Dicky Beach in 1893 during a cyclone. It was re-floated, but again, heavy seas turned the ship about and back onto the sand where it remains to this day. / / The suburb and beach was named after the ship. The beach is an unspoilt stretch of sun-drenched sand, on Queensland’s magnificent Sunshine Coast. Taken with my 5D and 16-35mm lens and I was so lucky to have a nature spectacle as the fog rolled in from West creating a mystic ambience I have also written a photographers guide if you are interested in knowing more about this site

.....and even when the song is over / Where have I been - was it just a dream? / (Supertramp)
The day summer arrived and it got stinking hot. This shot was taken at 5am and not a cloud in sight. The days temperature climbed up to 40.2°C in Brisbane. Summer is over is just over a week. This morning was certainly what I would expect in winter, crisp, vibrant and cloudless. Keep it coming…love it
The River Garry at Killiecrankie, near Pitlochry, Perthshire, Scotland. Killiecrankie (Gaelic: Coille Chneagaidh) is a village in Perth and Kinross, Scotland on the River Garry. It lies at the Pass of Killiecrankie, by the A9 road. In 1689, during the Jacobite Rebellion, the Battle of Killiecrankie was fought on the northern edge of the village. It was the first victory of the Jacobites – their Highland charge terrified and overwhelmed the British Government army under General Hugh MacKay in only 10 minutes. Donald MacBean, one of William of Orange’s supporters, having lost the contest, is said to have cleared the pass, from one bank to the other, at “The Soldier’s Leap”. Although it was a stunning victory for the Jacobites, it had little overall effect on the outcome of the war and with their leader dead (John Graham of Claverhouse, 1st Viscount Dundee (Bonnie Dundee) was fatally wounded at the very beginning of the battle), their forces were scattered at the Battle of Dunkeld the next month. An eponymous folk song commemorates the battle. A 1966 recording by The Corries was a pioneering use of the music video. BEST VIEWED LARGER Related shots can be found at: Highland Scotland.
Where I live on Vancouver Island Garry oaks are a part of a very endangered ecosystem that only grows in this part of the world. The Garry oak ecosystem has over 100 species at risk within it. Many of the species in the ecosystem where very important for my tribe in the past with my ancestors using many of the plants and animals for both medicine and food. Only around 5% of these ecosystems still exist with most of them gone from urban development and overgrown with non-native species. Part of my research as an environmental scientist for my tribe T’Sou-ke involves me in a major mapping project finding the locations of the remaining trees and ecosystems and hopefully restoring these damaged lands in the future.
A wonderful golden glow over Loch Garry as the Sun goes down behind the distant hills.
Mist envelopes the landscape, as if in a dream, and the sun blows a kiss before she retires for the night. Shot on a Canon EOS 20D.

Loch Garry is a scenic loch in the Scottish highlands most famous (from a certain angle) for its apparant likeness to the map of Scotland. The best view of Loch Garry is from the viewpoint along the A87. BEST VIEWED LARGER Related shots can be found at: / Highland scotland. Click here for a random page of photographs

Travelling on the Fort William to Kyle of Lochalsh route in the NW os Scotland you travel through some of the most amazing scenery and one such area is Glen Garry. You climb to a vantage point that is quite breathtaking. On this morning the fog was lying low and covering all of the Loch below while the mountains stood prodly aloof. Another experience that I am proud to say I witnessed. Tommorrow I will post an altogether different image of the same location…... Canon EOS 400. 18-80mm. AP mode with polariser. CS3 to complete.
