The lagoon was of course not blue. the blue of the sky is false colour obtained from the exchange of the red and blue channels of an infrared picture. The photo was taken in Geelong at the Aboriginal Craft & Cultural Interpretation Centre – Narana Creations. They have a beautiful walk and lots of artwork to buy. It’s a great chance to learn a little more about Australia’s real history. If it sounds like a plug then I guess it is although only by someone who’s been there once and was very impressed. It’s my first infrared lake so I’m happy with the results.
A night shot of the blue lagoon. Ironically it was about minus two outside the pool and boiling hot inside. While I was photographing this it was snowing. As always there is always something happening….

The salty remains in a back water lagoon off the River Murray, Lyrup, South Australia. Access to this area is next to the Ferry at Lyrup. The drought continues to effect this mighty river…. Even though sections are in trouble the main parts of the river continue to survive and the communities along them need our support! There is still plenty of water in the river main and lots of activities to be had. Canon 400D 18 – 55 lens with polarising filter. 3 shot HDR in Photomatix.

Night at Wattamolla Lagoon Falls under a full moon – the Lagoon was inky black under the moon – talk about Creature from the Black Lagoon material. Very spooky and very beautiful at the same time – not a soul around for miles (well none that I saw anyway), Shot at Wattamolla, Royal National Park, just south of Sydney. Canon 30D / Tv: 93secs / Av: f/4.5 / ISO: 200 / FL: 21mm cropped This image was just nominated by Lee Martin for the wonderful Pay It Forward Group. Thanks for the generous nomination and comment Lee. / This is what he had to say about Falling Through Moonlight: / “As it uses natural moonlight, something not mant of would try, I think this is one of the finest images I have seen”
not really a picture of anything but the sky and the lagoon were amazing. Taken in Aitutaki, Cook Islands.
Early morning three shot panorama – Noora Basin, between Berri and Renmark in the Riverland of South Australia. This backwater is an evaporation basin off of the River Murray. The main river itself looks nothing like this and still holds plenty of water to make a visit to the region well worth while. Nothing better – 6.30 am, first hint of sun, great clouds, colours and magnificent dead redgum trees standing silent. Who could want for more!!!!!!!! Canon 400D – 18 -55 lens, CIR polarising filter coupled with ND4. Tripod mounted three shot pano stitched in photoshop CS3.

Relaxing on a beach in the Cook Islands, South Pacific. The image was taken on One Foot island near Aitutaki which is part of the Cook Islands in the South Pacific. This is a coral beach not a sand beach so the feet are actually covered by tiny pieces of dead coral which gives the extremely coarse effect. The image was shot on slide film and scanned using a Nikon CoolScan III film scanner.
Lithuania, Klaipeda region, Curonian spit The Curonian Lagoon (or Bay, Gulf; Russian: Kуршский залив, Lithuanian: Kuršių Marios, Polish: Zalew Kuroński, German: Kurisches Haff) is separated from the Baltic Sea by the Curonian Spit. / In the 13th century, the area around the lagoon was part of the ancestral lands of the Curonians and Old Prussian people. Later it bordered the historical region of Lithuania Minor. At the northern end of the Spit, there is a passage to the Baltic Sea, and the place was chosen by the Teutonic Knights in 1252 to found Memelburg castle and the city of Memel. The town is officially called Klaipėda since 1923 when the Memel Territory was separated from the German Empire. / As the new Interwar border, the river that flows into the Curonian Lagoon near Rusnė (German: Ruß) was chosen. The river’s lower 120km in Germany were called die Memel by Germans, while the upper part located in Lithuania was known as Nemunas River. The border also separated the peninsula near the small holiday resort of Nida, Lithuania (German: Nidden); the southern part of the Spit and the Lagoon remained in Germany until 1945. / This border remains today, as after World War II, the southern end of the Spit and the German area south of the river, the part of East Prussia with the town Königsberg located in Sambia, became part an exclave of Russia called Kaliningrad Oblast.

Up at 5am to chance a morning shoot in good light revealed more than we could have hoped for. / Just as Murph & I had convinced ourselves that the sunrise wasn’t going to do much, we realised that we had better look for a foreground to look east instead of pointing the cameras at the sea. / Headed to Rebecca Lagoon on Tasmania’s west coast near Temma to get a double whammy of it by including the reflection and weren’t disappointed at all. / Big sky, magic water, foreshore reeds. / Does it get any better than this? / Straight from the camera this one. / How surreal is this. Magic morning indeed. / Trips to “the shack” are yielding excellent results so far. Must be the frame of mind and karma. / And it got better as we ventured further on foot for the next 4 hours or so.
