Squids Ink Jetty / Belmont, Lake Macquarie / Newcastle NSW Australia

This awesome winter sunset was photographed on Town Beach in Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia. I had been photographing the rocks at the south end of the beach where the light from the setting sun was painting its way across the seascape when I turned around to go back to my car and saw this. How could I resist? If you look closely at the bottom left corner there is the silhouette of an Oyster Catcher walking around the rocks. Fuji S9600: Manual settings of f/11 @ 1/125sec, Auto Focus, hand held. Find out more about Find out more about Port Macquarie beaches if you wish.

This lunar photograph was made a little more than an hour before the start of the recent eclipse on Town Beach , Port Macquarie , NSW, Australia. I was all set up with my feet in the wet sand, ready to set off the Timer when I caught sight of this moonlit surfer walking into shot. I could not believe my luck! I waited for him to get further into the scene and ….. here he is! Visit the Moon Shots and Seascapes collection in my BubbleSite Gallery for more moons, salt water, rocks and sandy scenery. Enjoy!

This beautiful river scene sunset was photographed from the south bank of the Hastings River at the Boundary Street Ferry Wharf in Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia , on a mid-winter’s day. Milady Fuji was sitting high and proud on her tripod, with the White Balance set to Sunny due to the glare from the sky and nearest boat, the ISO to 100 for the good Image Quality and to minimise Noise, and with Spot Metering, Centre Focussing, Continuous Focus and Fast Shooting settings completing the set-up. / I chose the 1/500sec Shutter Speed in Shutter Priority as I had some previous success using this setting on some sunset shots and found it helps control the Exposure very well in these conditions as well as freezing any motion quite well. / (Fortunately it froze the flying Pelican. Can you spot him?) :) / After an earlier test shot under the same conditions and a check of the Histogram, I found I did not need any Exposure Compensation. / After I set the Timer to 2 seconds, I pre-focussed on the brightest area on the nearest boat, framed the shot, locked the tripod, squeezed the trigger and after the “Beep! Beep! Beeeeep! Kachunk!” … here it is! Visit the Sunrise-Sunset collection in my BubbleSite Gallery for more delightful sunset scenes.

Sunset at Warners Bay / Lake Macquarie NSW Australia

This shot was taken on an overcast and rainy day at Flynn’s Beach in Port Macquarie.. I had to take a shot as the colour of the water was a very nice blue-green.. I was also happy with the way I captured the wave crashing on the rocks offshore.

These two dedicated and undaunted rock fishermen were photographed from Tacking Point, at Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia, on a sunny winter afternoon. The swell was perfect for this kind of break and the anglers were in good position to be on intersecting “Rule of Thirds” lines for a good composition. The break was way more than I had hoped for and the winter afternoon light was magic. Camera: Fuji S9600; RAW; Aperture Priority; f/8; 1/320sec; 39mm; WB Daylight; ISO 80; Hand held. / Processing: S7RAW & Photoshop CS. Find out more about Fishing in Port Macquarie if you wish.

I found this tiny little amphibian in a delicate pink rose blossom in the garden of a Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club. friend at Kundabung , just south of Kempsey, NSW, Australia, on a BBQ and photography day in autumn. The ‘Pretty in Pink’ li’l poser sat quite well for this portrait and was most patient as I jostled about trying to get the best angle, light and exposure. My subject is a very fine specimen of Litoria fallax (Eastern Dwarf Tree Frog) , quite a common species along the eastern coast of this wide brown land. After a long very wet summer they could be found in great abundance around the rather extensive property and I had a great time hunting around for good subjects. An amazing fact I discovered recently was that these frogs can also be brown or a mixture of green and brown and can change their colour depending on their environment. Fuji S9600: RAW, Manual settings of f/4.5 @ 1/100sec, ISO80, Low powered flash, Hand held. / S7RAW & Photoshop CS.

LARGER VIEW PLEASE This handsome little frog may only be as big as your thumb but he certainly makes a big impression in the spotlight inside a rose bush. An amazing fact I discovered recently was that these frogs can also be brown or a mixture of green and brown and can change their colour depending on their environment. He is a Litoria fallax (Eastern Dwarf Tree Frog) , about 2.5cm (1 inch) long was photographed beside a pond at a Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club friend’s property at Kundabung , just south of Kempsey, NSW, Australia, on a lovely autumn day.

After 13 days of non stop rain, it was great to see the sun come up this morning. This jetty is about 30 metres from my back fence, so it didn’t require too much effort – just rolled out of bed and stumbled down in my pyjamas : ) / / Blackalls Park / Lake Macquarie NSW Australia

THE SUBJECT: / A misty, moody Australian bush scene was photographed along an old logging track seems slightly primordial. THE LOCATION: / In the wilds of the Willi Willi National Park , up in the mountains far west of Kempsey, NSW, Australia on a very wet and chilly winter day. / This view in the opposite direction to Into the Mist #1 . THE MAKING of ‘Into the Mist #1’: / I had not realised the difficulty in photographing misty scenes such as this but I soon discovered that even though the light was very low there was still a big problem with the dynamic range. Aperture Priority did not work for me here so I opted for Shutter Priority, 1/60sec being the slowest speed recommended for a hand held shot. With the mist being so close, the resulting f/3.7 kept the background nice and soft. / Even though few photographs were made throughout the day due to the weather and time of year, six of us in two 4WDs had a great day out in the bush communing with nature. / One bloke, who has travelled 250,000Km in such road conditions in his 4WD had never had a mishap until the last two times we were out in the wilds. Last time it was a fuel line fracture and a flat tyre. This time it was another fuel line fracture! / Fuji S9600: RAW, 1/60sec @ f/3.7, Manual focus, ISO80, Hand held. / Lightroom 1.1 & Photoshop CS3.

The Location: / A very tight, isolated corner at the rear of my home in Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia. The Subject: / Seemingly suspended in mid-air this marvellous specimen of a female Deinopis subrufa (Net Casting Spider) was all set up with her net for a night’s hunting when I found her just before sunset on a very grey, damp summer day. / The spider’s location and orientation made it extremely difficult for me to make a good shot but with some patience, perseverance and experimentation using the fence post to brace the camera, I finally made a couple of shots for my collection. / The shot was made looking down at an angle with the camera rotated to the portrait format so as to end up with the subject’s orientation in the shot.. / The ambient light reflecting back from the white fence post gave the subject a beautiful modelling light. The Making of Deinopis subrufa (Net Casting Spider) #3: / Fuji S9600: Macro mode, Manual settings of f/3.6 @ 1/50sec, Manual focus, ISO80, Hand held. / Lightroom 1.1 & Photoshop CS3.

The Subject: / This li’l green froggy, all 2.5cm (1 inch) of him, is a lovely specimen of Litoria fallax (Eastern Dwarf Tree Frog) , a native amphibian and very common in my part of Australia. / An amazing fact I discovered recently was that these frogs which are usually green can also be brown or a mixture of green and brown and can change their colour depending on their environment. The Location: / On the grounds of a Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club friend’s property at the sleepy little community of Kundabung , just south of Kempsey, NSW, Australia. The Making of ‘Bend Over backwards’: / I spotted him deep inside the green, cool leaves and stems of a clump of Agapanthus. / Even though the frog was in a patch of bright light its right side was in shadow hence the pop-up flash with the 1/200sec shutter speed. / As I slowly and carefully worked my camera deeper into the foliage to get as close as I could, he turned his front feet inward and bent backwards so far, the skin on his back wrinkled! I knew he was ready to jump so I quickly focussed and made the shot. / As soon as I moved again he was off, leaping even deeper into cover. / Fuji S9600: Macro, Manual settings of f/3.8 @ 1/2000sec, ISO100, Manual focus, Pop-up flash at lowest power, Hand held. / Lightroom 1.1 & Photoshop CS3.

THE SUBJECT: / Another springtime dawn breaks over this ancient land spreading its light and warmth and burning off the mist in the valleys just as it has done for untold millennia.
