Misty Mt Wellington

November 19, 2014
Here are some shots from Mt Wellington as the mist rolled in over Hobart one evening. I really like the contrast of nature in the foreground (ie the boulders and the silhouette of the trees) and the bright lights of Hobart spread out far below. Of all the shots I have to say the 5th...Read More

The making of a photograph: Scarlet

November 10, 2014
For a little change of pace I thought I would share some behind the scenes shots and thoughts that went into one of my shots titled “Scarlet”. This shot is from a few years ago now, yet it still remains one of the most vibrant and memorable sunsets I have photographed. It was taken at...Read More

Tasmanian Fagus & Macro Photography

After a couple of days walking through the clouds and snow and hail beyond Marions Lookout, I spent my last morning at Dove Lake on the slopes of Mt...Read More

The ferry runs many times a day so accessing the island shouldn’t be...Read More
