After trekking through the Brindle Creek rain forest track for a couple of hours taking photographs of the creeks and trees, Emily and I moved further around the mountain to the Pinnacle Lookout.

The Pinnacle Lookout is located in the Border Ranges National Park in Northern New South Wales and is only a short walk from the main road that loops around the mountain. On this particular day I was pretty lucky with the cloud formations.

Shortly after taking this photo we crashed Emily’s car into a tree and wrote it off. Luckily neither of us were injured too badly.

I’ve always wanted to try a shot like this; a really simple photo of tree trunks with lots of small detail and nice colours. I’d never really found a nice place to shoot what I had in mind, until the other day.

It’s a 6 photo stitch on a heavily overcast day. It was raining lightly while I was setting up and shooting so I had to be fairly quick to not get any water drops on the lens.

The Gold Coast hinterland is filled with great little bits of hidden treasure. Sunday had my girlfriend and I out at Canungra for lunch. After we had eaten we had some time to spare so, instead of going straight home, we decided to drive around a little to explore. I had my camera on me of course! We came across this vineyard and pulled over for a while to take in the scenery and wildlife. The name of this place is O’reilly’s: Canungra Valley Vineyards and despite it being a little overcast, it was a stunning setting.

Hope you enjoy it!

I woke up this morning hoping that we’d have a nice blue sky and white fluffy clouds, but unfortunately that was not the case; their were a few too many clouds. I still made my way down to Burleigh Heads, one of my favourite spots on the Gold Coast, to shoot. It had been ages since I’d shot a beach scene in broad daylight, which is the reason I was keen to get out there even though the conditions weren’t as I had hoped. Usually, I like to shoot longer exposures once it starts to get a bit darker, or while the colours are bright orange or red.

This five photo panoramic stitch was my favourite of the morning. Once again, I’ve processed it in color and as a black and white image. I’d like your opinions on if you think the colour or black and white version is better.

The woman in the centre of this image asked me if she could take my photo as she walked by. She must have thought I was some kind of famous photographer! ;)
