Bicheno Blowhole

On a recent trip with a US based group of photographers, we caught some massive spray as some wild easterly weather set the blowhole right off. The dark grey storm clouds really set the scene too 🙂 I...Read More

I recently spent a couple of days down on South Bruny Island.

Bluestone Bay

February 26, 2021
I had a night at Bluestone Bay recently that turned out remarkable in that the sunset and the sunrise basically produced the exact same photos! Don’t believe me? Have a look 🙂   It was an extremely calm and clear night meaning the beautiful blue “Belt of Venus” was quite pronounced as the moon rose....Read More

Friendly Beaches Stormy Skies

March 30, 2018

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

Two Tree Point, Bruny Island

10 Stop ND Filter & Landscape Photography Part II

April 29, 2013
Regular readers will no doubt recall my post about the B+W 10 stop ND filter a few weeks ago. This weekend Hobart copped some wild weather including some incredible winds so I decided to give the filter another go while the clouds were moving fast and the effect of the filter should be most apparent....Read More
