This image was created while on a spontaneous stop at Somersby Falls on the way home after spending the weekend in Sydney for Vivid. We had a bit of time before we had to be home and we hadn’t been to Somersby Falls in a number of years. We also knew with the recent rainfall the falls should have been flowing nicely. So, we decided to drop in.
I forgot to charge my batteries for my camera after being at Vivid the night before so I knew I didn’t have many shots left. I scouted the location back and forth looking for the composition I was imaging.
To get to this spot, I had to walk along the slippery rock edge and try not to get my shoes and socks soaked, climb up and perch myself on the edge of a boulder. I struggled to get my tripod to steady itself due to the legs needing to be at such different lengths and positions. The amount of water cascading was perfect for this long exposure and the shine on the tree trunk brings another element of life to the image. I love the varying colours, shapes and layers of the rock shelf which forms the waterfall.
We were the only ones here at this particular time and we felt a world away from any civilisation, which was such a contrast to the previous days in Sydney.

It was a hard days driving to finally reach Hammersley Gorge, in the Karijini National Park. After a relatively easy walk down to the bottom of the gorge, the trek over to the spa pool was treacherous and sketchy. We waited until the sun had left the sky for this image.

After a great weekend photographing Autumn Colours in the Blue Mountains, Amanda and I were returning home, hoping to stop at a beach on the Central Coast for sunset on the way. (That was the plan at least!) We encountered heavy traffic transiting through North Western Sydney, and ended up stopping for an early dinner.
As we got onto the freeway, the sun was already on its last legs. I was resigned to not getting to shoot this particular sunset, which looked like it would be pretty amazing, lighting up several cloud banks and starting to go pink.
We were frantically trying to think of places close by that we could stop to shoot, when it hit me that we were coming up to the Brooklyn Bridge, on the Hawkesbury River. We turned off the freeway, headed onto the Old Pacific Highway and I made a frantic dash to the waters edge with the camera to setup the gear.
It was now that I discovered (of course) that I must have left my shutter remote actuator somewhere in Mt Wilson in the Mountains... Thankfully my camera has a time set mode that I frantically programmed to try and get the last of the colours being displayed.
I only just managed to pull it all together for this beautiful shot, featuring Spectacle Island as it sits on the Hawkesbury River, with the last of that amazing sunset lighting up the cloud bank behind, in this, one of the most easily and often seen (but least thought about) landscapes in the Hunter Region of NSW.

This Alpine lake in southern Norway sits high, and is an important source of Hydroelectric power. We were here in Mid Summer and there was still snow on the ground, it was incredible to see. The weather wasn't co-operating, until I got a tiny break in the wind and rain, to capture the still beauty that I had seen in this place.

This image was taken at the famous Cullen Bay beach in the middle of Wet Season. The timing was just right to get this beautiful hole in the clouds with the sunset popping through just as my lightning trigger caught the lightning.

Above Lake Bled, on the way to Slap Savica (Savica Waterfall) lies Suha creek, a small, unknown creek that flows from the mountain peaks to feed Lake Bled. Travelling through in Autumn, I couldn't resist stopping here and spending an hour or two capturing some amazing artworks full of Autumn Colours, Green mossy rocks and emerald water. This is one of Slovenia's hidden gems.

High in the interior valleys of Norway, next to Billingen, within the Reinheimen National Park, lie a series of incredible Waterfalls, cascading down. After hiking the waterfall, on the other side, the land opened up and revealed this incredible view, of a small family farm, fenced in the traditional way.

This remote swimming spot in the Northern Territory of Australia is normally packed with people seeking relief from the tropical heat, and why wouldn't you in such a beautiful spot!
Unfortunately a recent crocodile sighting had prevented swimmers from entering the water, so I took the opportunity to get a people free shot at this stunning spot.

Moonbi Lookout, about 20 minutes North of Tamworth on the road to Armidale provides amazing views down the Tamworth Valley. This lookout was built in the 1930's as part of Australia's infrastructure projects to drag us out of the Great Depression.
A huge granite boulder sits on top of the hill, and a staircase and railings have been built next to it, providing an amazing place to view the valley from, and even free camp at.

Notley Gorge, in Northern Tasmania, sits on a remote backroad, well hidden from the passing tourist. A hike down into the gorge leads to this extremely impressive grove of Tree Ferns, with a boardwalk wending it's way through between. An extremely impressive creation of Nature that I was amazed to be able to capture.

I was told about this gorgeous spot by a mate who comes here for 4WD'ing occasionally. We were headed down to Adelaide River stormchasing, hoping to catch a stormfront as it hit the floodplains, however it was not to be. As we drove south the storms seemed to part away from us.
We moved to Plan B, this spot that I had been told the (Very rough) location of. We eventually found the road up just as the sun was starting to set. The road was extremely steep and we encountered a washout about 40m up. In the name of caution we decided to roll back down the hill, park the car and walk up to the top.
This turned out to be a bit of a mistake, the climb was 40 stories according to my wife's Fitbit, and at a very steep gradient.
We made it to the top just as the sun was truly starting to show some colour. I got out my panorama gear and camera, levelled everything and setup just in time to catch this amazing ray of light as it pierced the stormy clouds sideways from the setting sun.
A true moment of beauty in the Australian outback.

Our second trip to this amazing location, 9 years apart! I knew I wanted something that included the domes, so was on the lookout during our 2 day visit here. Upon heading to Cathedral Gorge, and walking through the Domes, I was still a bit stumped, until we left the area and started heading back to the car. I noticed this path winding down towards the gap and thought it would be beautiful at a different time of day.
We drove the 45 minutes back here before sunset, with our fingers and toes crossed for a good one, and nature did not disappoint, we couldn't have asked for much better here!

An amazing winter location, just North of the Hunter Region in the Barrington Tops lies this Pine Forest known as 'The Firs'. The mist of the snowy day rings mystery to the area and I feels bring a different perspective and feel to this artwork.

This famous (among photographers) tree stands near the lookout at Binalong Bay. We were here late afternoon on a stormy day and waited and watched as the sunset came over.

The Tora River flows down through the Billingin area, in the Reinheimen National Park, in one of the high interior valleys of central Norway. A bridge that was first built in the 1900's crosses here, and allowed me to see the incredible flow of this river in full melt.

Tropical Creek is a vertical panorama, displaying the lush environment of Florence Falls, in Litchfield National park, N.T. Australia.
A small bridge crosses the fast flowing creek, on the way to the falls. The lush beautiful greens here will look amazing in any situation where a vertical panorama is required, such as the end of a corridor or entrance hall.

What a stunning location this is. As you arrive, you park up on the hilltop, and wander down a set of steps, with the magical pool unveiling itself before you. Best seen on a warm summers day, bring your swimmers! Summer is absolutely the mood for this image.

Such a special place, the sacred art site of Ubirr within Kakadu National Park. Overlooking the floodplains, filled with buffalo. We took a picnic up here and sat and watched the sunset with all the other tourists. I was up here early to nab a good spot, however my preferred framing ended up having about 10 people jump in front of me!
Luckily after sunset, everyone left, we were the only ones left on the rock with the ranger. The sunset kept going and going, long after it should have finished, letting me capture these beautiful sun rays.

This is one of the prettiest rainforest spots we have seen to date. The river Allyn flows down with it's clear water rushing over the rocks, carving this small gorge. It was a difficult spot to get to, very slippery! Check out how we captured this image on Youtube - https://youtu.be/Sh4VSiqkHzs

After a gravel road to enter Byfield National Park, and then a short walk from the park, we wandered up the river to encounter this beautiful site known as Upper Stoney Creek. With deadly Stonefish living in the river, it's not the best place to swim, however its beauty shines through here as the green leaves highlight the massive paperbarks flowing over the river.

In the Lynn Canyon park in North Vancouver lies this hidden slice of semi-urban rainforest. It lies on the far side of the famous Lynn Canyon suspension bridge.
We visited in mid winter, although Vancouver's typical rainy weather keeps snow off the ground, it allows mosses to flourish in amongst these tree's.
I am reminded of the sheer beauty of this place every time I view a print of this photo.

Captured at Wanggalooba Creek on Fraser Island, this crystal clear fresh water creek amazed me. A 20 minute walk from Central Station leads you along and down to Wangalooba creek, one of the most amazing spots we have ever had the pleasure of visiting.
The sand is white on the creek bed, and with just a few inches of water flowing over the top it looks dry, until you see the glistening water surface. I ducked down the creek banks and made my way down the creek, scoping out compositions on the way, before I found this.

Captured at Wanggalooba Creek, on Fraser Island, this crystal clear fresh water creek was something I have never seen before. Just a short 20min walk from our Central Station Campground led us along the creek and down to many magical sections of the creek.
The sand is white on the creek bed, and with just a few inches of water flowing over the top it looks dry, until you see the glistening water surface. I ducked down the creek banks and made my way down the creek, scoping out compositions on the way, before I found this fallen tree across the creek bed. I quickly got really low down the the creeks surface to capture this unique composition.

The Mosquitoes!! I captured this image of Wangi Falls in the Litchfield National Park during the middle of the Dry season.
To get to this spot is easy, there is a nice boardwalk and a lookout, however staying here past sunset is only for the brave or the foolhardy.
I was covered in Bushman's repellent, but even it wasn't up to the task of the massive 1.5cm mosquito's that were hovering on and around me. I remember lifting my eye from the camera after this shot to be confronted by a monster sitting atop my camera, looking right at me.
Nonetheless, this beautiful portrayal of the Wangi Falls in all their peaceful yet awe inspiring glory was well worth a few bites.

This composition in the Watagans National Park caught my eye as we were walking through the forest. I hadn't brought my Camera with me for the walk, not expecting to find anything of interest, however when I saw that composition I knew it would make a great vertical capture. I Raced down the track back to the truck, retrieved my camera and hurried back. I spent about 45 minutes capturing this amazing spot and ended up with two amazing images, a vertical composition, this one, and a landscape panorama image. The flow of the water down the stream calms me as it passes the vibrant green ferns on each side, as warm summer light filters through the trees above.

This image was captured early in 2017, at the peak of a fierce wet season up in Darwin.
I jumped over the no access chain down to the stairs at Berry Springs, and set up the legs of my tripod in this turbulent flowing water, in a similar spot to that which I captured at the end of the last dry season.
I love the differences that the changing seasons brings to the Darwin landscape, and capturing that change makes me feel natures awesomeness!

An Aerial footage of the incredible Willie Creek, as the blue water wends it's way up into the mud/salt flats, surrounded by Mangroves. This is prime Saltwater Crocodile territory, and you definitely wouldn't go swimming here, but the way that nature's beauty shines in this image captivates me.

We drove our hired Motorhome through the Otways National Park to this incredible location, along small one lane roads that wound through the forest, down a small gravel road and into a carpark for about 8 cars.
The walk down to the falls is short but challenging with it's steepness and number of steps, and we were on a seriously tight schedule here to make sunset at the 12 Apostles.
Thankfully the location was just amazingly beautiful, I couldn't stop clicking the shutter as composition after composition appeared for me.
In the editing suite, I chose this image to represent Hopetoun Falls as it embodies it nicely for me, a beautiful waterfall surrounded by lush cool climate rainforest. You appear to peek underneath the huge tree ferns to get a glimpse of the waterfall.
I hope you enjoy it.

We reached the top of Wineglass Bay, hoping for an amazing sunset, and as we climbed over the peak and and saw the amazing view, the clouds and rain started rolling across the bay from the far side. I scoped out the shot composition I wanted, packed the camera away in it's bag, and we settled into our raincoats jackets and umbrellas to wait out the storm and see if something unique could happen. After 20 minutes, we got a break in the clouds and the sunset poked through, allowing me this unique and interesting image, far from the normal blue waters of Wineglass Bay.

This creek in the beautiful Mossman Gorge near Port Douglas is the absolute embodiment of beauty in nature.
We recently went to this location during the wet season, and this creek is a solid 3km walk through the rainforest to get to. By the time we reached it, I took about 3 photo's then couldn't stand it any more, stripped off and went for a swim! The water was seriously chilly and extremely refreshing.
This is one of my favourite locations from recent shoots.
