Night sky photography in Tasmania

February 26, 2013
Night sky photography in Tasmania is an absolute joy. Even from the State’s capital, Hobart, it is a relatively short drive to some great dark sky locations. The past week in particular has seen a great deal of activity in the night-sky above Tasmania, luckilly co-inciding wth a series of very clear nights. From Feb...Read More

Autumn in Tasmania

February 26, 2013
Autumn in Tasmania is a landscape photographers delight. The mountain sides are a riot of colour as Tasmania’s deciduous beech, the fagus, farewells the summer and its leaves change to reds, oranges and yellows. Cradle Mountain is a great place to view this unique Tasmanian experience. Another highlight of the Tasmanian autumn is searching in...Read More

Tasmanian Photography Tours & Workshops

February 8, 2013
Just a reminder of my range of Tasmanian photography tours and workshops. I run a variety of photography tours all over Tasmania, including Cradle Mountain, Freycinet, Mt Field and the Styx Valley. We spend maximum time in the landscape shooting and learning all about our cameras. Groups are small to guarantee personalised tuition time. All...Read More

Macro Photography – Upper Florentine Valley

January 27, 2013
I recently had a day out photographing the Upper Florentine Valley in south west Tasmania. The valley is a stunning valley of tall eucalypts and intricate deep green rainforest. The valley is very picturesquely surrounded by the mountains of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage area, with the Thumbs being the range that dominates the view...Read More

Wedge Tailed Eagle Release, Tahune Airwalk

January 17, 2013
Craig Webb from the Wildlife & Raptor Refuge of Tasmania has released another Wedge Tailed Eagle. Around 4 years of age and in Craig’s care for 8 months it was great to see this wonderful eagle once again flying free, against the spectacular backdrop of Forestry Tasmania’s Tahune Airwalk. A few dozen people gathered as...Read More

Cradle Mountain Photography Tour Highlights

January 9, 2013
Last week’s Cradle Mountain photography tour coincided with one of Tasmania’s hottest ever days. Shooting the rainforest in these conditions was always going to be tricky but we took a short visit to Weindorfer’s forest behind the old Waldheim hut – which is coincidentally celebrating it’s centenary this year. My workshops are designed with flexibility...Read More

Tasmanian Photography: The Colours of Mt Wellington

December 20, 2012
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

Astro Photography – Pentax K5 & Astro Tracer

December 6, 2012
I recently purchased the Pentax GPS Unit O-GPS1 for the Pentax K5, which as well as providing GPS functionality contains a rather handy little feature called “Astro Tracer”. This feature takes full advantage of the K5’s in camera shake reduction feature to literally rotate the camera’s sensor in time with the earth’s movement – as...Read More

All of Tyrone’s sculptures are created strictly using only materials found in location. Whether it is...Read More

Rainforest Walks at Cradle Mountain

November 2, 2012
The most often photographed scenes at Cradle Mountain are the classic “postcard” shots of the mountain and Dove Lake, with perhaps a rock here or a boatshed there. The “hidden” beauty at Cradle Mountain, and what makes it such a great place to photograph – in any weather – is the rainforest. Depending on the...Read More
