I was going through some more of the images from the Border Ranges trip and came across this composition. The rain forest in the Border Ranges National Park is out of this world – it seems as if nobody has ever been there before you.

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.

A week or two back, Darren Tierney and I hiked down to the base of Purlingbrook Falls. It had been quite wet the few days before hand so we knew there would be a lot of water running.

It was near impossible to take photos down there, with the light being a bit too bright, and there was insane amounts of water from the falls spraying our cameras.

Anyway, here are a couple of my photos from the day focusing on the lower half of the water fall.

A couple of months back Emily and I spent the day out at Currumbin Creek. It was fairly overcast which created the perfect conditions to shoot some slow shutter photographs of the creek and trees above. I tried a few different compositions, but liked this one that included the swirling water in the foreground the most.
