Dark Mofo Dark Path

June 25, 2019
The Dark Path was the heart of Dark Mofo this year, incorporating a long walk along a rather minimally lit – some might even say dark, path with tiki torches and moody red lighting in the trees to make sure no one got lost. I also got to wondering if perhaps the Heart Foundation weren’t...Read More

Happy New Year!

Happy new year everybody! Thanks very much for following my photography and I wish you all the best for 2019 and beyond. Here are some shots of Hobart ringing in the New Year, photographed from Lindisfarne.  

Hobart at night – view from Mt Wellington

December 23, 2018
A few weeks ago I went up Mt Wellington to photograph Comet 46P Wirtanen (those pics are coming soon…). Before leaving I also took a few shots of Hobart at night viewed from on high. There was a very light mist and the stars above the city lights were stunning too. In the shot above,...Read More

Myrtle Forest Falls near Collinsvale

December 15, 2018
Myrtle Forest Falls is near Collinsvale, around 30 mins from Hobart. It is a fall I have been meaning to get to for quite a long time, and took the opportunity a few weeks ago as there had been plenty of rain and it was a nice overcast day – great for visiting waterfalls 🙂...Read More

Sunset Hobart

September 23, 2018
My little go-to spot for sunset is in Bellerive, and a couple of nights ago I noticed this great cloud formation out west and decided it could be worth a quick trip out. Here’s what happened next 🙂 Shot in Bellerive, using my Pentax K1 and a B+W 10 stop ND.  One of my favourite features...Read More

Hobart – Spectacular Sunset Capital of Australia

April 4, 2012
Short but sweet post tonight – tonight’s sunset over Hobart was a pastel of colours not just in the sky but also reflected in the waters of the Derwent River at Bellerive, and the rocky foreshore did it’s own impersonation of the Tessellated Pavements. There have been some stunning sunrises & sunsets lately – make sure you make...Read More

Snug Falls is a great fall just out of Hobart. The town of Snug is around 30 mins by car, and the walk is approximately 30 minutes each way. I visited late in the day for this shoot, and was lucky enough to have a curious platypus keeping me company. Because I was there late...Read More
