What can I say about this image? It was a difficult one for me both physically taking it, and mentally editing it to get it's true potential out. The location is the Pinnacles, on Phillip Island, VIC.

The hike was pretty intense, a few hard km, rushed to try and make it before sunset. As you can see, we made it! The climb down past the "No access" sign was... Sketchy... and we had a few pant wetting moments on the way down. You can see the climb down in this photo, it's the grass on the far right. Looks a lot steeper in person!

The sunset looked pretty poor, we were getting frustrated that after the long climb we would be left without a great image.

Thankfully as I was setting up the panorama gear, Amanda told me to look up at the clouds. A hint of pink was starting to show through. I hurriedly finished setting up, and started to fire off shots for a panorama I had in my head. The light show we got was just amazing and really popped the colours of the cliffs around us in this epic location. I had seen other photographers images of this place, but I don't think any of them got as lucky as I did with the beautiful colours and clouds.

Stitching the image together was a whole other challenge! My quick setup and some poor execution on my part gave me days of headache getting this image stitched. It required some serious manual stitching work and almost did my head in! I've been sitting on this trying to get it right for weeks now!

The climb back up the cliff in the dark and the 4km hike back to the car was painful, but I was buoyed by the fact that I had captured an amazing scene.

Story coming soon!

Peeking around the corner at Russell Falls from this small sheltered spot, you can see the majesty of the falls and the lushness of the cool rainforest climate. 

This beautiful sand island rests in the Great Barrier Reef, reasonably close to Cairns.

Taken from a helicopter as we flew over the reef, our pilot stopped and touched the skids down on Sandy Cay for us. I took this image almost straight afterwards, as the shallow waters of the reef surrounding the island pop light and dark blues, contrasted with the super white sands.

I hope you enjoy this peaceful part of Australia. 

After debating whether or not to attempt the infamous Ngkala Rocks pass on Fraser Island, we discovered that our truck was a few cm too big! So on to plan B, I decided to capture a landscape photo of the rocks here, moss covered with the waves frothing about them.

It was a hard days driving to finally reach Hammersley Gorge, in the Karijini National Park. After a relatively easy walk down to the bottom of the gorge, the trek over to the spa pool was treacherous and sketchy. We waited until the sun had left the sky for this image. 

Deep in the Tarkine in the North West wilderness of Tasmania lies this nondescript sinkhole. Formed tens of thousands of years ago, the water is deep and very very dark. 

A long exposure smooths the water, as the sun sets over the Tessellated Pavement at Eagle Hawk Neck on the Tasman Peninsula. 

 What a stunning location this is. As you arrive, you park up on the hilltop, and wander down a set of steps, with the magical pool unveiling itself before you. Best seen on a warm summers day, bring your swimmers! Summer is absolutely the mood for this image. 

Such a special place, the sacred art site of Ubirr within Kakadu National Park. Overlooking the floodplains, filled with buffalo. We took a picnic up here and sat and watched the sunset with all the other tourists. I was up here early to nab a good spot, however my preferred framing ended up having about 10 people jump in front of me! 

Luckily after sunset, everyone left, we were the only ones left on the rock with the ranger. The sunset kept going and going, long after it should have finished, letting me capture these beautiful sun rays. 

Uluru Sunset, captured after 4 attempts to get a good sunset!

This is one of the prettiest rainforest spots we have seen to date. The river Allyn flows down with it's clear water rushing over the rocks, carving this small gorge. It was a difficult spot to get to, very slippery!  Check out how we captured this image on Youtube - https://youtu.be/Sh4VSiqkHzs

After a gravel road to enter Byfield National Park, and then a short walk from the park, we wandered up the river to encounter this beautiful site known as Upper Stoney Creek. With deadly Stonefish living in the river, it's not the best place to swim, however its beauty shines through here as the green leaves highlight the massive paperbarks flowing over the river.

Captured at Wanggalooba Creek on Fraser Island, this crystal clear fresh water creek amazed me.  A 20 minute walk from Central Station leads you along and down to Wangalooba creek, one of the most amazing spots we have ever had the pleasure of visiting.

The sand is white on the creek bed, and with just a few inches of water flowing over the top it looks dry, until you see the glistening water surface. I ducked down the creek banks and made my way down the creek, scoping out compositions on the way, before I found this.

 Captured at Wanggalooba Creek, on Fraser Island, this crystal clear fresh water creek was something I have never seen before. Just a short 20min walk from our Central Station Campground led us along the creek and down to many magical sections of the creek.

The sand is white on the creek bed, and with just a few inches of water flowing over the top it looks dry, until you see the glistening water surface. I ducked down the creek banks and made my way down the creek, scoping out compositions on the way, before I found this fallen tree across the creek bed. I quickly got really low down the the creeks surface to capture this unique composition.

 One of the intense slot canyons of Weano Gorge. After swimming through Icy water after Handrail Pool, this amazing formation sits, before turning the corner to a whole new vista.

 We reached the top of Wineglass Bay, hoping for an amazing sunset, and as we climbed over the peak and and saw the amazing view, the clouds and rain started rolling across the bay from the far side.  I scoped out the shot composition I wanted, packed the camera away in it's bag, and we settled into our raincoats jackets and umbrellas to wait out the storm and see if something unique could happen. After 20 minutes, we got a break in the clouds and the sunset poked through, allowing me this unique and interesting image, far from the normal blue waters of Wineglass Bay. 

What a way to end our day along the Bloomfield Track. This is one of the most impressive waterfalls in the Cooktown Region, Cape York, QLD. Just a short rock hopping walk leads you to this huge waterfall, but you cannot swim here, one word, Crocodiles!
