Aerial Photography
There is a whole new world up there, to fly like a bird and see the world with fresh, airbourne eyes is magical and constantly fills me with wonderment. I first started flying quadrocopters with cameras back in 2009 and long before that in the 1980s using radio...
Astrophotography
I have an unhealthy fascination with night and astro photography and particularly in remote national parks in Australia where the lack of ambient light means very strong milky way against iconic land features are possible. This is a small collection of shots in and...
Autumn Colour
Although the Blue Mountains have no natural deciduous trees the temptation to photograph the 'planted' areas around the area is too great. The lanes and gardens explode with reds, oranges and yellows around April here and this is a selection of mostly this last season...
Blue Essence
While my big vistas or golden sunrises and sets certainly have inspirational or impressive qualities it is often my smaller, or vignette type shots around the Blue Mountains that have a little more ‘feel’ to them. Defining feel I suppose is a sense of a one off...
Dreamy Sunrise
I pride myself of hardly missing a sunrise wherever I am based. Each time the magic of the light slowly building from darkness through to an early dawn glow and then a striking sunburst rise is a constant pleasure. The effort to get to new places often means long...
Falling Waters
Waterfalls have fascinated me since I started photography age 11. Their constantly changing form gives them a beauty and a sense that they are the life blood of the forests and escarpments. I particularly love doing mono treatments as the natural contrasts of the...
Gardens of Stone
Ever since I first visited the Blue Mountains back in 2000 I have been fascinated by the area in and around the Gardens of Stone (GoS). Perhaps it was originally the enigmatic name, that sense of a hidden paradise, or seeing some crude shots of 'jungle-like' pagodas,...
Golden Coast
Having lived for extended periods on the West Coast of the US and since 2005 on the East Coast of Australia I have an on-going fascination with the sea. Particularly at sunrise where the combination of the delicate colours in the sky often contrasts with a powerful...
Golden Sunset
I am often spoilt for choice when it comes to sunsets in the Blue Mountains. When I am in different parts of the world I of course research the best spots for sunset and wish I had a locals knowledge, but now I am so familiar with the Blue Mountains that I have...
Majestic Mono
Often colour isn't enough to evoke the power and grandeur of wide open spaces. I regularly make the decision that shots I take are destined for a mono treatment and when the atmosphere is at it's most mysterious I will deliberately look for textures and light shapes....
Misterious Land
As a photographer one is always looking for magical light but also magical atmosphere. Living in the Blue Mountains one comes to accept but also love the mist and fog that pervades everything. After a night or previous day rain one can almost be guaranteed valleys...
Perfect Day
Mid Day Light - The golden light (sunrise and sunset) and blue hour before sunrise and after sunset are the key times for my photography. But sometimes I am caught late morning or afternoon, often on hikes to destinations or just for the joy of hiking and find the...
Profound Panorama
Choosing the aspect or format of a photograph at the location is one of the challenges of landscape photography. Each scene may have multiple ways of shooting it or it may have just one obvious composition format. When I can I favour wide horizontal panoramas, often...
