I was totally in Awe as these beautiful birds flew overhead yesterday evening shooting in the Noosa Basin again.. I noticed them in the distance a few days back, with my earlier shots, and was determined to get these close. I didn’t manage to get too close unfortunately, but did snap this one. They come here in the evenings to hang out on a small dead tree. I will get these close one day soon :) Fingers crossed they hang around for a while. They have a beautiful “sing” call, rather than the other species of cockatoo seems to be more a “squark”.. Canon 50D, 400mm. Noosa Basin, Noosaville, Queensland. This was the last shot I managed to get with the 1/400 shutter, then most the captured were blurred due to low light. Available Large, best viewed large!
Sunset reflection on a Mangrove sapling. Canon 1000D.
Right place, right time for this shot! Wanted to shoot the Devils Kitchen in the Noosa Heads National Park, but the sky didn’t agree with landscape photography on this afternoon. Hanging around shooting my favorite subjest, eagles, this offshore rainstorm came rolling in. The setting sun came out, and supplied this wonderful scene! By far the most illuminated rainbow I have ever seen, it was so bright.. Canon 50D, 10mm, Available Large, and definately best viewed Large! Noosa Heads National Park, Queensland, Australia.
Tried a ND filter in kinda dark light, with full open shutter.. Didn’t think I would get anything.. Happy with the result :) Some edding in the water from the rocks below effecting the currents. Overlooking Noosa River, Noosaville. Canon 1000D.
Noosa Main Beach, this is what Noosa is all about :) 3 Frame sunset HDR, one of the frames had this pelican flying overhead, all three had the still surfer. Pelican pasted back over the ghosted figure the HDR created. Noosa Main Beach, Noosa Heads, Queensland. Canon 50D, 10mm, 16:9 crop.
This is definately one of the most beautiful places of the world, at the most beautiful time of the day :) Noosa River, Noosaville, Queensland. 1000’s of Rainbow Lorikeets fly above, in their afternoon social time, hanging out in the tall Gum Trees. If you stand within 50 metres of the tree, you can’t hear yourself think for the noise, it’s so wonderful an experience! This colour happens most nights, but this cloud formation does not happen often at all, in my opinion, the perfect sky :) I hope you enjoy this shot, as much as I enjoyed shooting this one. Available Large, and best viewed large. Actual print size is 1600mm x 1000mm. Canon 50D, 10mm, no filters needed, as this was the true colour of the evening.
Loved this boat sitting so calm on the Noosa River, as I was sitting there waiting for the sunset colours to intensify, this seagull started feeding off bait fish on the surface.. Bit of a shame he wasn’t facing me, but still happy :) Noosa River, Noosaville, Queensland. Canon 50D, 14mm. Available large, and definately best viewed large!
First storm to hit the area in over 6 months, I was so excited!! Straight to my chosen spot and took hundreds of shots, just waiting for that moment. The sky was so extreme, there was no wind, no rain, just the crazy clouds, and lightning! The rain of course was close, but I managed to get this before it started to pour :) Noosa River, Noosaville, Queensland. the boat is the same subject in River Living and I was very thankful it was still for this to work. Canon 50D, 10mm, 16:9 crop. Available large, and best viewed large! :)
Another in the Mangrove Sapling series, this one Lake Weyba again, with 2 tall saplings. Unaltered photograph, except for light noise removal :) Canon 50D, 18mm. Available Large, and best viewed LARGE.
Interesting day this was, 30 knot cool winds, heavy showers, hot sunshine with 80% humidity, and a nice high tide to create these beautiful explosions!! I havn’t seen the ocean quite this rough in a long time, even when cyclone hamish was off the coast. Canon 50D, 21mm. Available very large!

Yes I know, another sunset shot of the Noosa River, Noosaville, Queensland, Australia. I just can’t help myself, I love this time of day and place, and I have to say, this afternoons sunset was the best yet. I honestly had to desaturate this shot. It was amazing orange, everything around you was glowing orange, the sky lit up!! My wife even said at the time, she had never seen anything like it. Canon 50D, 10mm, 20% desaturate, as the raw was just too orange… Available Large, and best viewed Large.. The full size print of this can be 1.5 metres x 1 metre.
This has to be one of my favorite shots I have taken to date, as I was shooting Fiery Skies I noticed a pelican in the distance incomming, I raced back to this palm I had in the shots earlier, as I knew the fisherman to the left of frame would get the pelicans attention… Paid off, one of the frames used in this shot was a cool timing pelican landing :) I carefully pasted out the other captures of this pelican in the other frames, so the one was clear in the HDR. I was almost going to paste in the whole landing sequence, as I pumped up the ISO to get the camera shooting at max fps. I hope you enjoy this shot, was real fun making it, and shooting it! Noosa River, Noosaville, Queensland, Australia. Canon 50D, 10mm, 20% desaturate, as the raw was just too orange… Available Large, and best viewed Large..
After quite sufficient rain over the last week in Noosa, it was good to see the blue sky, and sunset. The wetlands in the Noosa basin were higher than normal, making for some spectacular scenery :) The trees are mostly paperbarks in the Noosa Basin, and some hardy salt and sand resistant species of pine. Canon 50D, 10mm. Noosa Basin, Noosa Heads, Queensland.

Love the low tide in this area, the beautiful green moss/weed gets exposed, and these little pools have so much life in them, trapped till the next tide. Noosa headland, in the Noost National Park, Queensland, Australia. Canon 50D, 10mm, 5pm.. Available Large, and best viewed LARGE!
Another in the Mangrove Sapling series, this one Lake Weyba again, with 2 tall saplings. Unaltered photograph, except for light noise removal :) Canon 50D, 18mm. Available Large, and best viewed LARGE.
