A recent trip up to Dimboola allowed me some access to some pollution free sky and an opportunity to try out some Star Trail photography. I tried on two nights. I learned a lot the first night – there is a lot of work in post processing these images. Taken on a 5D Mark III with the 16-35 f/2.8 L II USM lens, I had around 30 x 4 minute exposures at ISO 800 with some nice silhouetted trees in the foreground. A single car over the ~ 3 hours came...
In Brisbane for some business, I took along my camera to Mt Coot-tha lookout and watched several storms roll in. After around 2 and a half hours, I did end up with a few nice pictures. Lightning is a very fickle thing. You can’t have something too bright or it gets washed out and getting the image balance right is a challenge, but this one seemed to come up very well. I hope you enjoy.
I’m lucky enough to have a very talented spouse who can create some amazing dishes. On this occasion, Lemon Tart was served. The photos don’t do the taste justice.
The caves at Buchan, Victoria are simply stunning. First found and explored in 1907, this cave system is a must see for those who love to see amazing things.
After the rains came, there were puddles. Reflected in the puddles were the buildings. Thrown into the puddles were stones by my 8yo son, the ripples make the picture…

The partial solar eclipse on April 29 as observed from Mt Lofty, over Adelaide. It was very windy with a definite chill in the air. Many photos taken but this came out one of the best. You can see the eclipsed sun through the clouds with the city below. Was great to get something from the eclipse, especially since most populated centres missed out.

Australia Day 2014 fireworks taken from the central pier in Docklands, Melbourne.Had to be there very early to secure the best spot and took a couple of nice panoramic shots whilst I was there. Was lucky to meet a few (hundred) other photographers on the night, but all worth it…
