  • 40km round trip walking, 3 days waiting – One image. The quiet little patch of beach that is Little Waterloo Bay isn’t the worst space I’ve had to wait for the light !

  • Mt Wilson.

  • Seasons can be very important in photography. This shot for instance was taken in mid winter and the increased rainfall at this time of year had increased the flow of Sealers Creek which in turn had washed more sand out into the cove. The effect of this was a much lower beach which allowed me to get right under this branch and take full advantage of the first rays reflecting off the sand onto its underside. When I last visited in mid summer the gap under this tree was more like 6 inches than 6 feet making a similar shot impossible.

  • First outing for the year photo taken from the summit of Mount Oberon at Wilsons Promontory in Victoria. Below in this shot are Norman Bay, Squeaky Beach and Tidal River the height of this mountain is 558m and the 360 degree views are just awesome worth the 3.4km climb to the top.

  • This shot was taken on Squeaky Beach at Wilsons Promontory on what I considered to be a fairly flat sunset. I had tried a few other shots on the rock platforms at the other end of the beach with limited results and as it was now getting very dark I was on my way back to the car. There was a limited orange glow on the horizon which wasn’t particularly arresting but from previous experience I thought the camera might ‘see’ the scene better than the naked eye. Large area’s of black silhouette in a frame I generally don’t like so I tried to balance that with the sea and sky with a fairly long zoom. The exposure was thirty seconds long, flattening the waves and intensifying the light and colours (velvia helps too). The end result was my favourite shot of the trip.

  • This photo is a good example of what not to do, that is to point the lens straight at the sun, it just happened to work on this occassion. Walking along the Loo Errn Trail at Tidal River I found the light catching these reed heads in a compelling way. I didn’t really think the shot would work but I tried it anyway using a fisheye lens and shutting the aperture down to f22. The sun then refracted around the tiny aperture creating the sunburst and there was just enough light in the read heads to balance the brightness of Sol despite the fact that the rest of the shot has almost gone black. The starburst reflection is the thing that really makes the shot for me though. Reminds me of the star on top of the Christmas tree.

  • Don’t usually go for the created image as such but I was mucking around the other day and did this simple edit of my most popular rb pic. I love how the clouds, sun and rocks combine to form a face. Hope you like it. For more shots from this area check out my Wilsons Promontory gallery. 10% of all profits go to the Wilderness Society

  • Took this on my Australia Day 2009 weekend sea kayak trip around the Prom on our first morning. This was one of those cloudless and very intense summer mornings when the sun just catapulted up above that horizon becoming too intense and bright for good images almost instantly. This particular spot is away from any designated walking routes so is no doubt experienced only very rarely. I got up before dawn and before any of my buddies were even thinking of saying hello to the new day. So I got this beautiful sight all to myself and additionally didn’t have the worry of unthinking friends stomping their footprints straight through the middle of my compositions like happened the previous day. It’s funny I just walk around beaches very carefully these days totally aware of the impact my footfalls will have on any composition but of course this is not normal with others oblivious to such aesthetic considerations. The great looking lichens on the foreground rock were certainly a big bonus. Took a few of this one and the only way I could get any colour in the sky was to piggy back a 2 and 3 stop neutral density graduated filter (i.e. 5 stops) and then I had to make sure I placed them perfectly so I didn’t darken the headland (close but not perfect, good filter use is invisible and I haven’t quite succeeded in that here, I think I prefer winter sunrises). Fortunately my test shots were done pre-sunrise so I was all set up when the moment came. Amazing how much jiggery pokery it takes to get something to look the same as you see it. One of my companions had hiked the north end of the Prom years before, walking almost 60km in stifling heat on inland viewless tracks in two days with very heavy packs, there destination Lighthouse Point. When they got there he was bitterly disappointed to see a small light on a stick atop a short metal framed tower and not the impressive round stone building they had envisaged. I think Russ enjoyed this trip much better certainly gave us a good laugh to reminisce about his younger gung-ho hiking days.

  • Took this on a three day sea kayak trip I did around Wilsons Promontory’s north end in January. On the last night we stayed at the beautiful Tin Mine Cove and witnessed a gorgeous sunset followed by this lovely post sunset glow. At the time I was so busy taking the photo I didn’t actually realize that I was taking a shot of two boats mored side by side and only clicked the next morning after talking to the yachty of the second boat (they had dinner together then mored apart for the night). The island in the background is called Doughboy Island.

  • A slightly confused trolley across the bay from the San Francisco city. This thing was missing a wheel and rusty as hell. Shot around 7:50 pm before the sun had gone down, a little experiment with my new ND400 Filter :) If you look extremely carefully the golden gate is on the horizon engulfed in the infamous fog that rolls in every single bloody day… / Settings Canon 40D, 17-85mm IS.
