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.

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

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 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.

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.

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!

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, here we have a fine specimen of a Caleana major (Flying Duck Orchid), an Australian native terrestrial orchid which grows in sandy alkaline heath-land on the east coast. The flowers are only ¾” (2cm) long, two flowers on a n 8” (20cm) stem and with only a single spear shaped leaf at ground level. When disturbed, the flowers drop their heads, lift their tails and curl up. This is to trap any pollinating insect inside until released perhaps hours later or even overnight. Because of their small size and drab colouring they are difficult to find. This one and a handful of others in the near vicinity were discovered by accident as I was attempting to photograph a different wildflower. Lucky me! This li’l quacker was photographed in the wild, along the Ocean Drive Fire Trail in the Queen’s Lake Nature Reserve at North Haven, NSW, Australia, on a lovely Spring afternoon, in the company of two friends from the Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club., while on a wildflower hunt. To obtain the angle of shot to isolate the orchid from the background and to be able to get very close to this little flower, I was lying on my left side, resting on my shoulder, with Mr Fuji hand held, viewfinder hard against my glasses and using controlled breathing. The UV Filter was off and the screw-on Macro Lens was on to get as much of the orchid in the frame as possible. To make the shot I chose to go fully manual as previous attempts using aperture priority were giving me big problems with exposure due to the dark flower and the overcast lighting. Pop-up flash is not an option when using the screw-on Macro Lens and I didn’t even think of using my slave flash unit. (If I had, it would have been very hard to use the pop-up flash to set it off so it may not have worked). Fuji S5500: High resolution jpg, Macro Mode, f/2.8 @ 1/160sec, ISO100. / Photoshop CS.

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.

THE SUBJECT: / This little candid scene was spotted in the crowd at the 2006 Australia Day celebrations. THE LOCATION: / Shot on the Town Green beside the Hastings River in Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia. THE MAKING of ‘Candid Hats in the Oz Day Crowd’: / A difficult photograph to make as I bobbed about trying to get a clear view through the milling crowd but definitely worth the effort. / Fuji S5500: High resolution jpg, Hand held. / Lightroom 1.1 & Photoshop CS3.

THE SUBJECT: / There were more than orchids on display and these Kalanchoes were among the other plants adding their colour and texture. THE LOCATION: / The Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club was invited to set up an exhibition of floral photography at the Hastings River Orchid Society’s 2007 Orchid and Visual Crafts Show held at the Wauchope Returned Soldiers League Club in Wauchope, NSW, Australia. THE MAKING of ‘Kalanchoe Caper’: / My club president and myself set up, manned and packed up our exhibition of fifty eight mounted prints over the two day exhibition. / This was a golden opportunity for any keen photographer so my mate and I took full advantage of the event to hone our skills on the many varieties of orchids and other plants on display. / Eventually our photographs will be burned onto a CD and presented to the orchid society as a record for their members and I have been asked to produce a few prints as well. / I used the ambient light of our exhibition room which consisted of diffused daylight flooding in across from my left and strong, diffused tungsten lights in the ceiling. / I used my White Balance Lens Cap to set the Custom White Balance as this rendered the best natural colours. / We were able to take the plants from the exhibition and set them up on a low bench with an off white cotton backdrop. / Fuji S9600: RAW, Macro, Manual settings of f/11 @ 1.5sec, ISO80, Manual focus, Tripod, Timer. / S7RAW & Photoshop CS3.
