One of my favourite images still to this day, this Mangrove standing alone in Fanny Bay is so surreal that I often get asked whether I faked it or not.

Careful framing and composition were required to give the illusion that the mangrove is completely alone, and a long exposure blurs the water as the sky floods with a soft pink, courtesy of the sunset.

Four wheel driving around Adelaide River, late in the afternoon we reached our goal, Adelaide River itself, a place with a river crossing that my mate described as a "tropical paradise".

We reached the spot, and he was not wrong, the river gently flows over shallow rocks creating a continuous gentle flowing sound, and the canopy above took out most of the heat of the afternoon.

My mate actually fell asleep on the roof racks whilst I was taking this photo!

This Hilux has obviously had a bad time of it crossing the river when it had a lot more power to it, I doubt it will last another wet season.

Please enjoy this slice of the territory.

This Maple tree shelters a stone bench, perfect for a rest on a warm Autumn day. The sunlight filters through and the breeze rustles the leaves, drifting your mind away from every day life.

A warm glow glistens over the area letting the yellow and orange leaves capture the light.

Relax with this piece of art on your wall, let the tree shelter you as the piece reminds you of peaceful Autumns past and future.

These Pandanus fall gracefully into the calm waters of Berry Springs swimming hole, near the township of Berry Springs in the Northern Territory. The blues and greens in this image inspired me to head closer to the water and brave the light rain to capture the perfect composition.

Berry Springs is normally packed with tourists and locals seeking relief from the heat in these beautiful surrounds, however we attended the location after hearing that it was closed due to a crocodile sighting. I thought this would be a rare opportunity to create such a peaceful and serene artwork, from a location well known to many, that I had been visiting for years without being able to capture.

This image, taken on the road out of the Megalong Valley in the Blue Mountains, NSW, shows just how varied the landscapes in our beautiful country can be. The cool temperate climate here allows giant ferns to flourish by the side of the road.

This image brings peace of mind and the beauty of Nature to any room.

Taken from my Phantom 4 Pro drone, the large sensor does this location justice. The junior train of Walka Water Works winds alongside the bright lake, framed by fall trees. The small dots on the lake shore are ducks, and I even captured some turtles swimming.

This is a view not many people will ever see.

Cobbold Gorge

Cobbold Gorge Dam

Cobbold Gorge Reflections

Crystal Shower Falls in full flow, cascade over the cliff edge through the lush rainforest in the Dorrigo National Park. This unusual aspect of the falls requires careful foot placement as you navigate off the path. These falls are unique in that there is an amazing cave you can walk behind the falls to.

Curtis Falls at Tamborine Mt in the Gold Coast Hinterland is a really special pocket of National Park Rainforest in the midst of roads and other tourism developments. A quick 15 minute walk from the Carpark leads you down to the falls themselves. Seriously calming, this place is full of wildlife and tranquility. This is my first released image taken on my new Sony A7RIV Camera.  It took me a good 20 minutes of experimentation to get this shot just right. 

Dinner Falls

A peaceful country evening settles on the Hunter Valley as the Paterson River flows under the Dunmore Bridge, one of many similar styles of bridge in the area.

I was lucky enough to meet the owner of this land, a farmer, as he returned home from tending cattle in the fields. We had a quick chat and he gave me permission to jump his fence which helped me to get this composition.

This warm historical piece will bring a country feel to any area of your house.

This was our third trip out to Merriwa, searching for the perfect Canola shot.

The rich brown earth of the region promotes Canola growth, and is even famous for it.

We drove just about every remote road out here searching, scouting for our upcoming fourth trip, when we came across this early season crop.

I set up and waited patiently for the clouds I could see in the distance to move into my composition. The clouds coming over were from a storm front we could see far away, something this extremely dry region hadn’t seen for a few months, could this shower bring just a small bit of relief for the farmers?

As the clouds started into my shot, they partially obscured the sun, allowing these sun beams to develop, highlighting the focal point of this image, the lone tree in the field, and leading your eye through towards the field of ripe Canola.

Emerald Creek Stream

Emmagen Creek, a crystal clear creek which was the deepest water crossing on the Bloomfield Track, Cape York, captured my eye. 

This image represents Outback Australia to me. Taken somewhere along the Stuart Highway, near Coober Pedy, The old fenceline runs along the length of the road.

The red earth and the salt bush is very representative of this region.

This photo was taken just inside the grounds of the Darwin Aeromodellers Club at East Point.

We went to East Point with the intention to take photos of the Harbour and mangroves at sunset. While I was scouting the location to find exactly what I wanted to capture, Amanda went for a walk.

She came hurrying back to me, saying that that I should see this beautiful tree and the sunset above it. I thought twice about it, but I had a little time before the sunset was going to light up where I was shooting, so wandered over to look at "the tree".

And this was what she saw, she was right, a stunning tree, with a stunning sunset above it.

This small unnamed creek in the Dorrigo National Park crosses the path as you walk down to the Crystal Shower Falls. I wasn't satisfied with the image from the pathway, so scrambled very carefully down to this spot. I captured a very very different image looking downstream, and turned around to leave when I spotted this composition up stream, back towards the path. The stream cuts down through the forest.

Whilst I was in the Otways National Park recently, I had heard about this amazing stand of Giant California Redwoods. They were planted in the 1930's as a softwood logging experiment, and never chopped down. 
They are down a gravel road, about 30 km from the nearest town of Apollo Bay, and make a fantastic picnic spot. 
The National Park was recently expanded to include this stand of tree's, the first time it's ever happened for an introduced species. 
The sun was filtering through these amazing tree's, I quickly set up the camera and tripod and shot this beautiful scene of the moss covered Giant Redwoods on the banks of the Aire river.

I hope you enjoy this shot, which showcases the beauty of this imported species, in this one amazing spot in Victoria. I could have spent hours here!

 This artwork was created in the Nundle State Forest, near Tamworth, NSW. I had only just said to Amanda that I wanted to go for a drive down one of the side tracks when some strangers came and asked us for help with getting their car out of a bit of trouble. The kind and adventurous people that we are, said of course. We were on our way back out of the forest and we came across this beautiful scene, I couldn't help but stop for the capture. This one entailed me to sit up on top of our truck to get the height I was after, and it worked!

 We were dying to go and find some beautiful autumn trees in the area as we love the colours they bring to life. We had heard about a rural community that proudly promoted having a great display of autumn so we did our usual and went for a drive.

It took some time for us to find something where the composition allowed you to drift into your own imagining and allow you to forget about the busy life each rural property entails. The white gates and the beautiful tree lined driveway combine to draw your eye into this image, getting lost in Autumn Splendour.

Taken as the very last light of the day leaves the sky, this image reflects the serenity of one of the worlds most precious regions, Kakadu National Park.

The looming cliffs contrast with the extraordinarily green foliage as the vegetation here thrives even in the middle of the Dry Season.

Getting in here is a 4WD only trek, but well worth it if you can ever get here to have a look.

The National Park manages saltwater crocodiles here to make it safe to swim, you can see their boat in the foreground, and if you have eagle eyes you can spot the huge Salty croc trap on the banks of the river.

Story coming soon!

Whilst heading out for our anniversary dinner, my wife and I saw this gorgeous landscape laid out before us as we drove past. Pokolbin, Hunter Valley is a magical suburb containing so many beautiful small wineries.

This property sits on a low hill, and I made the most of the flowing vines leading to the house on the hill, as the last of the evening sun disappeared well below the horizon.

Story coming soon!

We had been waiting days and days for the right cloud formation to make this popular Maitland NSW view off the Belmore Bridge composition shine.

I had explored the area thoroughly and decided on this composition a few weeks ago, I loved the federation house looking out onto the river, and the curve of the river heading off into the distance.

We headed out a few times for photos of the composition when the cloud cover looked promising, but alas it was never quite right. Amanda strongly suggested that we head out again, despite my resistance (I didn't think it would be an epic sunset!) but we ended up heading out, for a walk along the levee if nothing else.

We got there just as the golden colours were starting, and I resumed my position on the Belmore Road bridge. The sunset was short and sweet, and the final picture showed a beautiful range of oranges, blues, greens and pinks. The mist off the river in the distance adds to the calm country feel of this river. It's a fair change from a few months ago during the drought when everything was brown and yellow.

I was heading to work one morning at a different location to normal and drove past this forest of Malaleuca trees. I didn't have my camera with me and it was one of those moments I wish I did. So from that day forward, I took my camera and left a little earlier every day, waiting for the sunrise to do its thing, one more time for me.

I was lucky, only a few days of waiting and the sun shone exactly they way I had hoped and it lit up these magnificent tree trunks and leaves, creating this glowing artwork.

Millaa Millaa Falls 

Millaa Millaa

On my daily trip to work, I drove past this spot every morning! I have spotted this fantastic mist forming due to the "cold" weather! I have been leaving for work a bit early and stopping to try to capture the moment.

This morning I was able to capture this beautiful sunrise, with the mist wreathing over this paddock.

Please enjoy this photo, taken near the McMillans Rd, Stuart Hwy intersection.

This artwork was created in the Nundle State Forest, near Tamworth, NSW. I had only just said to Amanda that I wanted to go for a drive down one of the side tracks when some strangers came and asked us for help with getting their car out of a bit of trouble. The kind and adventurous people that we are, said of course. We were on our way back out of the forest and we came across this beautiful scene, I couldn't help but stop for the capture. I knew I wanted a vertical capture and once I climbed up to sit on the top of the truck I realised it wasn't in the right spot, so back down I climbed, directing Amanda to where the truck needed to be and back up I went - All in the name of a great capture!

This lone mangrove stands, watching, at the far ocean edge of the Nightcliff rock platform, and is only accessible when the tide drops low.

I headed out last night with a plan - I've been wanting to photograph this little tree for a while now but the tides just haven't been right when I've been able to get out there. Thankfully mother nature played ball for me and put on a show.

Story coming soon!

The history of this castle in the rainforest at Paronella Park in the Queensland, is magical and the fact the castle ruins can still be seen today, after all it has been through brings this magic to life.

The history of Paronella Park in the Queensland, is magical and the added fact that this waterfall was used to create hydropower for the entire park and it's castle, ballroom and various other buildings. I feel I timed it perfectly to capture the sun setting behind the waterfall, bringing special light into the artwork. 

This image shows Rapid Creek during the monsoon months of January. It was taken today, a few days after the monsoon ended, but the flow down the Creek was still significant.

I've been here a few times in the past scoping it out, waiting for the perfect conditions for this picture. The last few times I have been the flow just hasn't been enough, but thankfully today was the day.

I was a little rushed as we had an idea for sunset, thankfully I was able to get in and get out for this shot with my knowledge of the location.

(I hope there aren't crocs this far up the creek as I was ankle deep in it :/ )

Redwood heights was taken in the amazing Redwood forest, deep in the Otways, Victoria. Situated next to the Ayr River, this grove of incredibly tall Redwood tree's will soon become one of the tallest forests in the world.

This vertical panoramic image will look great situated anywhere a vertical image is required, such as a corridor, space between windows or doors. The majesty of these tree's reaching for the sky will leave you in awe every time you see the artwork.

Seisia, Cape York Peninsula, known for it's location as one of the most northern towns in Australia, provided some amazing sunsets for us while we were there exploring. The beach and palms trees just set the scene beautifully. 

This image was created while on a spontaneous stop at Somersby Falls on the way home after spending the weekend in Sydney for Vivid.  We had a bit of time before we had to be home and we hadn’t been to Somersby Falls in a number of years. We also knew with the recent rainfall the falls should have been flowing nicely. So, we decided to drop in.

I forgot to charge my batteries for my camera after being at Vivid the night before so I knew I didn’t have many shots left. I scouted the location back and forth looking for the composition I was imaging.

To get to this spot, I had to walk along the slippery rock edge and try not to get my shoes and socks soaked, climb up and perch myself on the edge of a boulder. I struggled to get my tripod to steady itself due to the legs needing to be at such different lengths and positions. The amount of water cascading was perfect for this long exposure and the shine on the tree trunk brings another element of life to the image. I love the varying colours, shapes and layers of the rock shelf which forms the waterfall.  

We were the only ones here at this particular time and we felt a world away from any civilisation, which was such a contrast to the previous days in Sydney.
