I shot this photograph of Perth City the other night while there was a lot of smoke blowing across the face of the city from a fire in one of the southern suburbs. The smoke silhouetted the buildings a bit and created a nice effect. Very little processing was needed for this photo, which is always a good thing, I think.

I’d like to see this photo printed out nice and large. I think the pastel colours would look quite nice on some Fujiflex or high quality pearl paper. Any takers?

I haven’t been out shooting a lot lately, but I am itching to get out, so I’m sure that I will be posting more often shortly.

I have wanted to shoot this angle of Perth including the Decoy for a while now, and the other night I finally got off my ass and drove down to South Perth. I think it might be better at sunrise, so I’ll have to return here early one morning, maybe over this coming week if any other Perth photographers wants to join me?

It’s a 7 photo stitch with the 5D MkII and 50mm lens. It came out at about 60″ at 300dpi, which will allow for a generous sized print.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my photographs!

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.

Brindle Creek in the Border Ranges National Park is one of the most impressive rain forest streams in Australia according to wikipedia. Emily and I spent a couple of hours walking through the rain forest, battling the leeches and other creepy crawlies that call this spot home. I had to balance precariously on one of the boulders in the middle of the stream for this composition, but it was well worth it in the end, I feel.

I have had limited internet connection for the last week, and won’t have it back until next week. We’re in the process of moving, so times are quite busy. Thanks to everyone who continues to read this blog, and I will get back to reading all of yours as soon as possible!

The sky was overcast so I thought heading out into the hinterland for some waterfall photos would be a good idea. I packed all my gear quickly and jumped in the car. Initially I was heading out to shoot Twin Falls in Springbrook National Park, but I never made it that far. I found a cool little creek along the way where this photo was taken. I spent an hour or so here walking around, looking for different angles, and waiting for the light to fade.

The next stop was at Natural Bridge where my camera battery ran out after only a couple hours of shooting. The 5D MkII batteries don’t seem to last very long with live view on. I guess I better buy myself a spare or two.
