I went down to Wilsons Prom for two days over the Melbourne Cup long weekend and got a few nice pix. This particular trip for me was unique due to the fact that 140mm of rain fell the day I arrived causing many usually dry creeks to flow vigorously. I left for Waterloo Bay from Telegraph saddle at 9:00pm in the rain optomistically hoping for a spectacular return of Sol. Arriving after midnight the spectacular sunrise and many new creeks did not disappoint.

I found this remarkable sight within half an hour of my arrival at Wilsons Promontory from Melbourne on a hot summers day at the Southern end of this popular beach. It never ceases to amaze me how nature can place such amazing elements together. This spot must be passed by thousands of people every year but I dare say that few have ever stopped at this particular spot to soak up the vista . For me this illustrates one of the things I really love about being a nature photographer. The mindset required to see the extraordinary within the common place, quite literally changes the way you interact with your surroundings. It requires you to really be in tune with a place and in a more tangible way, to become a part of the landscape, rather than a mere passer by.

To get this shot I woke up well before dawn in Bright drove for 45minutes to get to a predistined location on the way up Mt Buffalo in the Victorian Alps. As I rushed up the track to a small waterfall I wanted in my shot I quickely stopped to shoot this frame off of the pre dawn. Of course this one ended up being my favouite shot that morning. There is something truly magical about dawn ‘above the clouds’. For more pictures from this area check out my Mt Buffalo gallery.

This shot was the location I was aiming for when I took ‘Buffalo Dawn’ and ‘Above the clouds’. Unfortunately I missed the predawn light and consequently needed a two or three stop grad (I can’t remember now) to balance the exposure but the result is pleasing. This is the top of a huge cascade that plummets hundreds of meters down the buffalo slabs a magnificient spot I havn’t seen any other images from.

All Blues is one of my favourite tracks off Miles Davis’s landmark album ‘Kind of Blue’. This shot being all things blue I thought it appropriate. It was taken at the scene of many of my crimes at Wilsons Promontory in Victoria, Australia. I can’t imagine a simpler shot but for me it just works. It is photoshop free – impossible to improve on ol’ mother nature in this one. For more shots from this area check out my Wilsons Promontory gallery.

The picturesque bank on the opposite side of Tidal River to the bustling summer metropolis of Tidal River Camping Ground is amongst the most photographed scenes at the Prom. This particular morning the light was overcast and dull but the reflections were perfect in the tanin stained waters. As I remember I used a two stop grad filter to even up the reflection as they are always darker than their mirror opposites. A beautiful spot that is definitely worth a visit. This picture gave me my first framed print sale (large) on the bub. For more shots from this area check out my Wilsons Promontory gallery. 10% of all profits go to the Wilderness Society

As is the case with many of my shots there is a considerable time gap between finding a good location for an image and shooting it. I found this spot in March 2007 on an overcast day completely unsuitable for photography. I finally returned in November 2007 to capture the shot I had envisaged all those months before. On this occassion the light surpassed my expectations with the results being worth the wait. Taken on Pillar Point at Wilsons Promontory.

This shot happened quite serendipitously while taking another shot (see Dawn – Sealers Cove). For me it perfectly encapsulates the ideal of what our relationship with nature should be. A simple, childlike, and playful appreciation of natures beauty both mentally and physically.

Taken the same evening as Little Oberon Sunset. An amazing evening in an amazing place. It was so dull and overcast at one stage I thought I’d set up my tent and cook my dinner before it got dark rather than spend it on the nearby knoll the light seemed so uninspiring. Glad I didn’t.

I watched this storm front get closer and closer, being accompanied by good light and a break in the clouds I waited on top of this exposed summit and was taken by surprise when it actually hit. One moment calm the next wind, sun and pelting rain with the extreme variance in light that you can see.

On my trip to Austin Texas, my friend took me to this beautiful lake called Lake Travis. / This lake is Huge, and beautiful! The blue water resting against the white shores with Meditterianin homes wrapped around it. The house on the right side of the hills is still being built, it’s Beautiful! / The lake is down about 27feet, which normally the depth is close to 300foot. It is 63.75 miles long, and its maximum width is 4.5 miles. The lake covers 18,929 acres, and its capacity is 1,953,936 acre-feet. / You could see for miles from the place we went to for me to get some shots of it. It is so large it has it’s own lighthouse, which was too far for me to get from where we were. / Here is more info about the lake for anyone interested in the stats of it. Lake Travis I shot this in SS priorty with SS at 1/200, Fstop at 16, ISO at 200 and Exposure comp at 0, focal length was at 17mm.

This shot is one half of my accidental collage shot oops . It was taken after one of the worst night sleeps I’ve ever had when we camped next to these redwoods in the Otways. At about 2:30 a huge logging truck drove past on the road about 10 meters from our tent, other trucks followed at intervals just long enough to allow you to dose off again. This continued until about 6:00am when the WMD’s finally ceased. Took this shot not long after that in the first light of the day. Sold two 8”x12” framed prints of this one, not a terribly original composition but popular all the same. For more pictures from this area check out my The Otways gallery.

A shot from my recent family holiday to Lake Tyers with my new 5DmkII. Unfortunately a computer virus is giving me hell at the moment and it was re-imaged a few days ago and I’m waiting until next Monday to get CS4 installed so until then it’s jpeg’s straight from the camera (I’ll process the RAW’s next week). Yes it was an amazing night. I took a few of this exact shot at ISO 100 bracketed with long exposures but after these shots a bird flew into the frame and I grabbed 4 more as it flew across at 1600 ISO and very shallow depth of field but these turned out to be my fav’s (best viewed large to see the birdy).Only wish I remembered to take my old film camera to take a few Velvia shots to compare, but I forgot. I left after putting the kids to bed and at the time the light wasn’t looking in any way like it would shape up to anything special… Camera: Canon EOS 5D mkII / Lens: EF 24-70 f/2.8 USM @ 42mm / Filter: UV / ISO: 1600 / Shutter Speed: 1/250thsec / Aperture: f/2.8 / WB: Auto / Exposure Compensation: -1/3rd / Post production: none For other shots from this area check out my Gippsland gallery. 10% of all profits go to the Wilderness Society

If I had to pick one image as my favorite all time shot it would be Peter Dombrovskis’ Mount Geryon from The Labyrinth. To me it is quite simply the most inspiring example of everything a fantastic landscape photograph should be . An amazingly interesting, colourful and sharp vegetated foreground (perfectly executed with the tilt feature of his large format 4”x5” Linhof technorama camera), the most perfect reflection I’ve ever seen, great middle ground topped off by the amazing profile of Mt Geryon accentuated by a sprinkling of snow. The combination of these elements creates a beauty so perfect that it almost defies belief. Back in 1998 when I last did the Overland Track – Cradle Mountain to Lake St Clair walk in winter I did a flying visit to the labyrinth on my last day before walking back to Coles Bay completing most of the St Clair leg by torch light in the short winter days. Unfortunately due to inclement weather visibility was only about 10 to 100m at best and I didn’t really see anything. The next day on the way home on the boat across Bass Strait I bought the above poster feeding my dreams of returning till now. In a way history repeated this week when I finally returned, it had been snowing all night on us down in the valley at Pine Hut and as we climbed steeply up to the plateau the world was transformed into a winter wonderland. The cloud cover was again thick and visibility was again low but donning my pack I at least was equipped to stay a few nights. Leaving my companions to return to the comfort of the hut after lunch I continued alone to Lake Elysia. Walking over the final rise and seeing the lake and surrounding hills was in many ways a return to a place long held dear such was my familiarity with the numerous photographs I have of the area. It was very cold and I half expected that I would have such cold hands after setting up my tent that I would probably remained tent bound for a while afterwards to warm up but everything was in an acceptable comfort range so I wandered around the shore of the lake umbrella in hand taking shots. One hand was in a wet glove for carrying my cold metal tripod the other one bare so I could handle my camera without getting it wet and despite frequent snow flurries I spent an enjoyable few hours exploring some of the more intimate aspects of the shore line this shot being taken in an ever so brief moment when the cloud cover lifted enough to at least see the bases of Mt Geryon and The Acropolis. That night it bucketed down with rain and by morning every last skerrick of snow had been washed away. As luck would have it my tent site was transformed into a very wet puddle and with my tent floor leaking badly everything ended up in various degrees of wetness. I had the food to stay another night but with everything including my sleeping bag and a very expensive 15mm fisheye lens being wet my dreams of an open sky sunset and sunrise at Lake Elysia had to wait till another time.

About 30 hours before this shot was taken this summit was enveloped in a blizzard, the ice and snow making any attempt at a trip to it’s peak a distinctly life threatening affair (see the shot below, its the peak on the right). The Acroplis is in the Du Cane Range, Cradle Mountain – Lake St Clair National Park, Tasmania.

Russell Falls in Mt Field National Park have been shot to death (with good reason as they’re an absolutely gorgeous drop) so I thought I’d post a different perspective on this wonderful spot.
