Photography at Hobart’s kunanyi/Mt Wellington

August 19, 2025
kunanyi/Mt Wellington is the 1270 metre high peak that overlooks Hobart. It is unmissable as you drive into Hobart from any direction. Situated to Hobart’s west, kunanyi/Mt Wellington is a great subject for sunsets. The dark silhouette of the mountain looks great framed by a fiery sunset sky. Photographed from the eastern shore you can also enjoy the...Read More
Richmond Bridge lit up in red for Dark Mofo

Red Richmond Bridge

June 20, 2022
The historic Richmond Bridge is celebrating Dark Mofo this winter! The beautiful yellow sandstone bridge is a stunning sight in red so it was great to snap a few shots the other day 🙂     I’m not sure how long the red lights will stay on at Richmond but best get out there quick...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

Dark Mofo 2018

June 26, 2018
Dark Mofo 2018 has come but not quite gone – the art installations are down but the fallout from the Lord Mayor of Hobart’s criticism of the festival goes on. I spent Sarurday night wondering around the waterfront and it really was amazing to see so many people out and about. What this festival has...Read More

Myrtle Gully Falls

Myrtle Gully Falls is very close to Hobart and a great place to get some experience photographing waterfalls. It is found on the Myrtle Gully track which begins at the end of Old Farm Road, which is conveniently located right at the rear of the Cascade Brewery, so you can reward yourself with a cold...Read More

Sunrise Clifton Beach

August 13, 2017
I recently shot this stunner of a sunrise down at Clifton Beach. It was something of a “slow burner” – quite overcast and grey on arrival, a sliver of pink entered the sky and gradually caught fire over a large part of the sky. I have shot here before but this was a particularly nice...Read More

Dark Mofo and the Pentax K1

June 23, 2016
This years Dark Mofo festival has come and gone and one of the features this year was seeing the Tasman Bridge lit up in red for the duration of the festival. I shot from Lindisfarne as I did two years ago when the “Articulated Intersect” light show was on. This time around, as well as...Read More

As well as being a chance to see some unique and endangered Tasmanian wildlife – the Tasmanian...Read More

Secret Falls

May 19, 2016
The now rather ironically named Secret Falls has become something of a social media sensation. It is a beautiful little cascade, only 2 or 3 metres high, but its location a short distance from Hobart in the foothills of Mt Wellington has made it a bit of a must see destination for photographers. The past...Read More
