takayna mist and light

July 31, 2023
takayna mist and light. This stunning scene was a big highlight of this autumn’s Tarkine photography workshop, which is scheduled again next autumn. The light was very beautiful, radiating out over the Norfolk Range from a break in the dark storm clouds. This is exactly the kind of moment that makes landscape photography a very...Read More

Styx Valley Fungi Fun

July 20, 2023
It is mid winter – apparently – the warm weather feels like winter didn’t really happen this year – and all of a sudden I’ve noticed a lack of fungi photos in my blog lately! So I present these Styx Valley fungi finds from a few visits over the autumn months.        ...Read More

Bruny Island Astrophotography

July 19, 2023
Bruny Island is a stunning place in general, but is a particularly good location for astrophotography.   Located south of Hobart, there is virtually no light pollution so as long as you avoid the full moon you will have the chance to experience some terrific dark skies. In recent years I have run a couple...Read More

Arthur River Sea Eagles

July 1, 2023
The Arthur River Sea Eagles. While it could be the name of a local footy team – perhaps it could even be the name of Tassie’s new AFL team! But forgetting footy for the time being, this post is about the actual White bellied sea eagle – a mighty raptor, almost as large as the...Read More
Warra Falls on the Arthur River Cruise in Tasmania's Tarkine

Warra Falls

June 29, 2023
Warra Falls is a great little series of cascades on Warra Creek, which is a small tributary of the Arthur River in the Tarkine. It is only accessible by joining the wonderful half day Arthur River Cruise, and is one of the highlights of my Tarkine Photography Workshops. Warra Falls is a short 10-15 minute...Read More
Hobart's Tasman Bridge lit up in red for Dark Mofo 2023

Dark Mofo 2023

June 14, 2023
Hobart’s annual Red Bridge Festival (aka Dark Mofo) is back for 2023! And this year that giant blue light thingy has picked itself up and moved down the river from its spiritual home at MONA to the Dark Park on Hobart’s waterfront.       Hobart Night Photography Workshops I run a regular photography workshop...Read More
wineglass bay from mt amos, freycinet national park

Wineglass Bay from Mt Amos

June 13, 2023
In terms of classic Tasmanian views, Wineglass Bay from Mt Amos really is one of the big ones. At 60-90 minutes one way it is a reasonably short hike, but the slippery and rocky route over granite boulders and gullies makes it a much more significant hike than the very easy (by comparison) walk up...Read More

Huon Valley Grove of the Giants

May 30, 2023
UPDATE July: It seems the Grove of the Giants is off the chopping block! Click here for the story on ABC. This grove is spared, but plenty of others aren’t. But good news is good news 🙂 Recently I took a visit to the Huon Valley Grove of the Giants which is a stunning patch...Read More
Golden Whistler at Inala Bruny Island

Inala Bruny Island Birds

May 28, 2023
Inala Bruny Island is an absolute haven for Tasmania’s endemic birdlife. I just came back from a 3 day photography workshop there with a couple of wonderful guests from the US of A and thought I’d share some of the avian highlights. It is worth mentioning too – not only did we see a great...Read More

Cradle Mountain Aurora

April 27, 2023
This was a night to remember! On the first night of this weeks Cradle Mountain photography workshop we were treated to a lovely display of the aurora over Cradle Mountain on a perfectly clear night. Dove Lake was the place to be this evening, as the perfectly clear sky and still conditions allowed for perfect...Read More

The aurora and STEVE

April 21, 2023
Watching an aurora is always a fantastic experience but this particular evening had some extra goodness to it. Whilst each display of the aurora is quite different, typically there is a greenish glow along the horizon with a varied range of red-pink-purple colours above it. There is also a subset of “sub-auroral forms”, a couple...Read More
