Welcome to the next installment of my “Best Tasmanian Photo Spots” series – this time join me as we head to the north east! The Bay of Fires is a fantastic stretch of coast in north east Tasmania.

Sunset Bay of Fires

July 22, 2025
Sunset and sunrise, favourite times of day for every landscape photographer. Even when the conditions aren’t “perfect” its always great being out and about at these times of day. And then there are the times when conditions are in fact “perfect” and it is an absolute joy indeed! Up at the Bay of Fires recently...Read More

Sunrise Bay of Fires

August 30, 2024
Sunrise in the Bay of Fires is pretty much the main goal of my Bay of Fires photography workshops (the next of which – FYI – is running from October 23-26). This morning back in January started out innocently enough, perhaps even quite plainly to be honest, but pretty quickly blossomed into one of the...Read More

RIP Bay of Fires Lone Tree

January 24, 2022
By now this isn’t exactly breaking news but I thought I should pay homage to the famous little Bay of Fires Lone Tree which passed away during some heavy weather late last year.     For those who don’t know – this little tree was right in the heart of Binalong Bay and made for...Read More

Whales and dolphins join our Bay of Fires Cruise

October 26, 2021
During my 4 day Bay of Fires photography workshop early this month my guests and I were treated to a very special encounter with these dolphins and humpback whales during our Bay of Fires cruise! The cruise is 2 hours, during which we explore the coast from Binalong Bay to the Gardens before heading further...Read More

Humpback Whales off Binalong Bay

September 30, 2019
During last weeks Bay of Fires workshop my guests and I were extremely fortunate to experience a small family of humpback whales off Binalong Bay! We were on board the Bay of Fires Eco Tours Cruise, and the skipper very kindly stopped and let us view the gentle giants of the ocean and we enjoyed...Read More

Bay of Fires Sunset – Picnic Rocks

July 3, 2019
The Picnic Rocks put on an absolute ripper of a Bay of FIres sunset on a recent trip. You need a lot to go right when photographing the sunset and everything sure went right this particular trip! In fact for most of the week away my guests (and I won’t lie to you – me...Read More
Jupiter Scorpio Milky Way

Jupiter Rising

June 17, 2019
There has been a stunning sight of Jupiter rising in the east these past few weeks. Just on dark, and rising right along with the core of the Milky Way, has been an incredibly bright “star” just below the scorpion, and beside Sagittarius. Just below Sagittarius is the ringed planet, Saturn. These shots were taken...Read More

Bay of Fires – Grants Point

April 19, 2019
Grants Point is another stunning photo location in Tasmania’s Bay of Fires region. I spent a night here recently and caught a sunset/dusk and sunrise/dawn that were (literally) night and day in terms of results. The dusk shoot was under an utterly cloudless sky. This location faces east, so I wasn’t here to shoot the...Read More

The Crepuscular Bay of Fires

September 18, 2018
This very crepuscular sunrise was the highlight of one of my Bay of Fires workshops earlier this year. We ventured down to the famous Bay of Fires Tree and the dawn was very grey to begin with, and the pre dawn offered very little in the way of colour and light. Shortly after sunrise however,...Read More

…and then the pelican yawned

May 26, 2017
Had a bit of fun shooting a pelican last month in the Bay of Fires. The angle was really interesting as he was in some great light off in the distance while I was deep in the shadows, and I was able to frame him nicely between some foreground rocks. The longest lens I had...Read More
