Intense colours characterize this amazing spot. Taken in the late afternoon, with sunlight bouncing down the gorge sides, this is some of the coldest water you will find in Australia, instantly numbing the body. I really love the structure of the rocks here as they reflect into the pool.

One summer evening we decided to join friends for a picnic at Warner's Bay. They told us it's usually lovely there for sunset, music, cheese and crackers. But this particular evening there was a storm approaching after a rainy day so the music was cancelled. We convened with our friends and decided to risk the weather and enjoy a night off from working. Ha, who am I kidding, I'm always working when we are out and about at sunset.
We were all sitting there and then all of a sudden we looked at each other and said 'I think the sunset might actually do something interesting'. I left Amanda, Aria and our friends, Erica and Ash and ran to the car to get my gear.
As I set myself up, this young couple perched themselves on the end of the pier, enjoying the moment, each other's company and their love for each other. The sun continued to set and give off these amazing sun rays and light up the sky. The lake was silent, calm and elegant, it matched the mood of this young couple perfectly.
The storm was still getting closer, so not long after this shot we packed up to head home before we got wet. Such a contrast to what was miserable rainy day.

Taken on a blustery winter evening, The warm golden tones of the rocks at the Bogey Hole in Newcastle light up this image.
The rocks were extremely slippery, and I had to take extreme caution when getting to this spot, my backpack lowered down from above by my partner. Getting exactly the right composition was a challenge as the rocks fall away from where I wanted to take my image from. I used the full extent of my 2.5m Tripod to get this, as I sat perched on the rocks waiting for the perfect light.
This image is a panorama, stitched together from 4 full sized images to give me an amazing amount of detail and let me print this really large in beautiful Fine Art quality.

I have been trying to capture this overview of Merewether for many years now, coming back regularly, hoping for the perfect sunset to set the blue colours of the pools off.
I finally captured one recently. The composition requires some dangerous climbing, but it's the only way to get to what I wanted. I set up, perched on a rock ledge on the cliff and waited, patiently hoping that sunset would be a beautiful one, and not a fizzer.
Dark clouds were coming over from inland and I was extremely worried that it would block the setting sun.
I waited it out in the cold wind, sitting cross legged under my camera and tripod. Just as I was getting ready to call it an evening, the clouds on the horizon began to pick up these beautiful pink colours.
To me this image represents life in Merewether for many Novocastrians, as this is how many spend their weekends and days.

The Mosquitoes!! I captured this image of Wangi Falls in the Litchfield National Park during the middle of the Dry season.
To get to this spot is easy, there is a nice boardwalk and a lookout, however staying here past sunset is only for the brave or the foolhardy.
I was covered in Bushman's repellent, but even it wasn't up to the task of the massive 1.5cm mosquito's that were hovering on and around me. I remember lifting my eye from the camera after this shot to be confronted by a monster sitting atop my camera, looking right at me.
Nonetheless, this beautiful portrayal of the Wangi Falls in all their peaceful yet awe inspiring glory was well worth a few bites.

Our second trip to this amazing location, 9 years apart! I knew I wanted something that included the domes, so was on the lookout during our 2 day visit here. Upon heading to Cathedral Gorge, and walking through the Domes, I was still a bit stumped, until we left the area and started heading back to the car. I noticed this path winding down towards the gap and thought it would be beautiful at a different time of day.
We drove the 45 minutes back here before sunset, with our fingers and toes crossed for a good one, and nature did not disappoint, we couldn't have asked for much better here!

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.

Amanda researched the location for this old plank jetty in Airlie Beach, Queensland. We were sitting in our caravan and keeping an eye on the sky for sunset, when we decided it was going to be a good one. We jumped in our truck and headed off, it was only a 5 minute or so drive down the road thankfully! I took a number of shots with the jetty and the surrounding mangroves, after coating myself in Bushman's for mozzies and sandflies. Ultimately the Sunset really really delivered and I was lucky enough to capture this horizontal panorama featuring the jetty and the far coast of Airlie Beach.

"Corinidi Sunset" is the 2nd artwork in my Corindi Beach collection. This spectacular sunset evening at Corindi Beach, NSW (in the Coffs Harbour Region) had a rainbow of colours and tones, with the weather changing drastically over the hour that sunset took place. This image shows the calming tranquil beach that continues through to Woolgoolga. Although it doesn't look like it, to capture this image, I was ankle deep in water and had the waves crashing against my tripod. This always makes me nervous, but it is worth it to ensure I can create the artwork I imagine in my head.

This image was taken at Vesteys Beach, in Darwin, NT.
I scouted this location on numerous occasions, waiting for the tide to be in the right spot while there was a chance for a beautiful sunset to occur.
Luckily Sunday night was the night. I made the short walk out onto the exposed rock shelf as the tide was quite low this evening. The sunset appeared promising with significant cloud cover, however you can never ever tell what will happen. Some nights the sun will just quietly slip into nothing behind a cloud bank, and some nights it will light up the sky with its atmospheric fire.
This night was such a one, with the sunset transitioning from dark foreboding clouds hiding a fiery red ball, into this, 15 minutes after actual sun set.
I took all of my panorama gear with me, and used it to good effect here, for this 9 image stitched panorama, just as the light got really special, reflecting off the rocks in a beautiful light orange glow.
This is a 9 image stitched panorama image, over 324 Megapixel, 4.2 gb in size and able to be printed up to over 10 metres wide.

This dramatic image invokes a lot of memories for me, waiting in the still, calm air as a Territory storm comes rolling in towards me.
I captured this image at Cullen Bay Marina, in Darwin right at the tail end of the storm season. This was one of the last big blows, and it really showed. You can see the line of rain sheeting down behind the stormfront, lit up by cloud lightning, all as the boats sit calmly, not even rocking as the air is completely still.
We just made it to our car after this photo, before the wind and rain really hit. We were lucky to have had the time to sit and watch natures fury while protected by a thin sheet of glass.

After a great weekend photographing Autumn Colours in the Blue Mountains, Amanda and I were returning home, hoping to stop at a beach on the Central Coast for sunset on the way. (That was the plan at least!) We encountered heavy traffic transiting through North Western Sydney, and ended up stopping for an early dinner.
As we got onto the freeway, the sun was already on its last legs. I was resigned to not getting to shoot this particular sunset, which looked like it would be pretty amazing, lighting up several cloud banks and starting to go pink.
We were frantically trying to think of places close by that we could stop to shoot, when it hit me that we were coming up to the Brooklyn Bridge, on the Hawkesbury River. We turned off the freeway, headed onto the Old Pacific Highway and I made a frantic dash to the waters edge with the camera to setup the gear.
It was now that I discovered (of course) that I must have left my shutter remote actuator somewhere in Mt Wilson in the Mountains... Thankfully my camera has a time set mode that I frantically programmed to try and get the last of the colours being displayed.
I only just managed to pull it all together for this beautiful shot, featuring Spectacle Island as it sits on the Hawkesbury River, with the last of that amazing sunset lighting up the cloud bank behind, in this, one of the most easily and often seen (but least thought about) landscapes in the Hunter Region of NSW.

This image was captured in the very middle of the Darwin dry season. The purple haze is caused by the smoke from bushfires catching the last of the sunset glow, as the aqua blue water of Fannie Bay reflects the dark blue sky above.
If you look carefully, you can see the last of the sun hitting the Paspaley Building in the city.

All that remains, a row of pylons emerging from the calm evening waters of Shoal Bay. This sunset was one that was beautiful in all directions, however the access to each different vantage spot was made extremely difficult as it was on a breakwall filled with large, slippery boulders. To change from one vantage to another was a painful, difficult experience.
The main decision I had to make for this image during the composition process was the height that I wanted the pylons to appear, whether I wanted them above the horizon or not. I ended up choosing a composition that showed the pylons against the backdrop of the smooth waters of Shoal Bay.
This is a unique location, sheltered under Mt Tomaree, that has become a favourite picnic spot for my family and I.

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.

Deep in the restoration area of the famous Stockton Sand Dunes, this tree has survived alone on its Dune.
4WD access only gets you so far, before the no driving restoration area. I reached the edge about 20 minutes before sunset and commenced my hike in to this lone tree that we spotted from the beach. It was a hard slog through the sand, and I only just managed to get to the dune in time as the sky lit up in an amazing display.
Sometimes you just get lucky and this night was one of those. I tried several different compositions, and struggled with the strong wind blowing the tree branches around, preventing a sharp shot. I hope you enjoy this simple, pastel representation of the Stockton Sand Dunes near Newcastle, Australia.

This image was a lucky capture that I shot while leading a photography workshop. I spent my afternoon teaching others how I go about my photography captures and after helping and setting the participants up with their compositions I decided it was my turn to have some fun. So while jumping between participants and my own camera I spent a few minutes on this one.
I love the contrast of day and night, whist showing life in Newcastle city, reflected in the Canoe Pool at Newcastle Baths.

A beautiful pastel vertical panorama image that sweeps you off your feet into the serenity of the ocean. Taken as sunset glows behind, the aqua water shines through the waves as they roll onto the shore.
I tend to find myself drifting off to an unknown world when I look into the image. I wonder where I can go next in my life journey and what is on the horizon for me and my family. I can feel the sand washing out from under my toes as I sink into the image.
I created this artwork to bring some Newcastle peace and calmness to my space and remind me the future is beyond tomorrow, it is all the days ahead.

This image was taken last night at the Dripstone cliffs in Darwin.
I was busy taking panorama's, when my wife messaged me and told me she had found some driftwood that had come up with the tide.
I quickly finished the Panorama I was working on, and we jogged down to this driftwood. (not great for my bad ankle!) but the end result was worth it.
If you look carefully you can see the clouds in the distance dumping heavy rain into the ocean.
What a magical moment, caught just before it was too late, thanks to my wife.

I am proud to present this image that captures the beauty of an outback sunset, from atop the Baruwei Lookout. The sun has just dipped below the horizon and the clouds are receiving the last little bit of light and reflecting it down to the rocks below.

I'm happy to present this beautiful image with the colours of another gorgeous outback sunset.
This image was taken at the Gunlom Infinity Pool lookout right at the last light of sunset.
The creek is called Waterfall Creek, and plunges over the escarpment to the Gunlom plunge pool and eventually on to the South Alligator River.
The flow is mostly stopped here during the dry, allowing access and beautiful calm pictures from this magical spot, far above the ancient landscape below.
