Other News

Over the past 6 months I’ve been busy adding content to my website as well as expanding my portfolio with new photographs from New Zealand, Blue Mountains, and in and around Sydney. I’ve also just returned from a trip to Victoria and will be posting some new panoramic, urban, rural and seascape images in the coming weeks.

In the near future I’m planning to provide group and individual landscape photography courses starting in Manly expanding to other locations with demand. If you are interested in attending a course or know anyone that would be then please email me and I’ll be sure to keep everyone posted.
I would love to hear any feedback you may have regarding the website so please let me know your thoughts.

Blue Mountains – including Valley of Waters near Wentworth Falls.

Here is some of my latest photography taken over the last couple of months.

An early morning at the Opera House, a rare opportunity to be alone at Australia’s iconic building. The sun rising to the East relects in the massive glass buildings of Sydneys city skyline.

Later in the morning just after sunrise I walked around from the Opera House to Mrs Macquarie’s Chair to capture this fleeting pink glow.

I’ve decided to capture some images a bit closer to home so have been busy shooting the Manly area. I managed to take only a couple of shots at Fairlight beach before getting caught in the approaching storm you see in this image. I then spent the next 5 minutes sheltering under a nearby tree before making a wet and long walk home.

I love the rock formations on this stretch of the Esplanade walk. Admittedly easier to see at full resolution but if you look very close you can just see the Manly ferry pass the heads.

Sydney’s northern beaches landscape photographers unite in loving this beach. You are never alone when taking photos here. It is definitely a ‘hidden’ gem with great rock formations and neon green weed.

A short drive North of Sydney brings you to the Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park and relative wilderness. A great spot to explore, somewhere I’m sure to visit more over the coming months.

Finally I have some more Eastern Suburbs photographs. I decided to capture Australia’s famous beach, Bondi. The swell was big and the sunset beautiful as always.
