Snug Falls is a nice short walk just a little way south of Hobart. I have been in there once before, and was lucky to have a close encounter with a platypus. Spring is the Season for Waterfalls in Tasmania Tasmania is experiencing a very wet and wild spring so far this year and many...Read More

MONA

MONA – the Museum of Old & New Art in Berriedale, Hobart. Sunset tonight from across the water. The afternoon was quite grey and dull, but a fiery orange sunset burnt the sky briefly this evening resulting in these shots. As with pretty much all sunset photo shoots I shot the above with my ND...Read More

Photography Workshops Hobart: Waterfalls & Sunset

I run a half day (5 hour) “Hobart & Surrounds” photography workshop. This workshop includes two of my favourite photography subjects – waterfalls & sunsets! After meeting up at a time to be decided (start time depends on sunset time) we travel to a couple of beautiful waterfalls in the foothills of Mt Wellington for...Read More

Images of Tasmania: Mist & Sunrise, Hamilton

The town of Hamilton is found amongst the dry and barren looking hills of Tasmania’s southern midlands. The midlands are characterised by wide open spaces, farmland and historic old towns amid the dry eucalypt woodlands. Most of the landscapes I shoot in Tasmania are inside national parks and other natural areas rather than in towns...Read More

Tasmanian Photography: The Colours of Mt Wellington

Tasmanian photography is characterised by remote mountain top views and wilderness forests, but Mt Wellington offers so much for photographers slightly limited by travel or time requirements. Mt Wellington is the spectacular backdrop to Hobart, visible from whichever direction you approach the state capital. At 1271 metres high and with a very good, sealed road...Read More

Sea & Sky: Dusk on Hobart’s South Arm

Ah Tasmania, green skies one night, pink skies the next. A series of shots from Mortimer Bay & Lauderdale. Late winter produced a lot of dreary, grey evenings void of the spectacular colour that makes sunset photography so exciting. Early spring has already brought some stellar weather to Tasmania with clear skies and vibrant sunsets,...Read More

Hobart – Spectacular Sunset Capital of Australia

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

Photography at Hobart’s Mt Wellington

Mt Wellington is the 1270 metre high peak that overlooks Hobart. It is unmissable as you drive into Hobart from any direction – just look out for the giant TV tower on the top! Situated to Hobart’s west, Mt Wellington is a great subject for sunsets as the dark silhouette of the mountain is framed by a fiery sky....Read More

Seascape Photography at Tessellated Pavements, Eaglehawk Neck

The Tessellated Pavements at Eaglehawk Neck is a great location to work on your seascape photography. It’s orientation to the east makes it great for sunrise photos, and the lines, cracks and rocks all along the foreshore are a photographer’s dream come true for making interesting and unique compositions. For me sunrise photography is more...Read More

Snug Falls

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
