Hey All, Just letting you all know that my 2018 Western Australia wall calendar is now available to purchase, it includes a selection of images from my travels around Western Australia. It makes for a great custom Christmas present and you are supporting a local artist at the same...
This is the first in a new series of posts I'm creating as a guide to taking better landscape photos. My interest in photography started with landscape photos while travelling Australia with my parents, it has always been what I've enjoyed most about photography, travelling, exploring and being out in nature. Usually these types of guides start with a "Why?!", this one is not going to be any different in that regard, everything else will be...
In May 2016 I was commissioned to travel to Christmas Island to host a social media photography meet up as well as to capture the island photographically. I travelled there with 2 travel journalists who were writing stories about the trip and Linda from the Tourism Association. I was also commissioned to capture some 360 degree video for Facebook, YouTube and VR applications. First impressions on coming into land on Christmas Island was one of...
Canon were kind enough to send me a Canon 5Ds and their 11-24mm f4L lens to take with me on my trip to Antarctica. If I'm ever sent gear to try out or if I buy something for a trip, I've always got to try it out before I leave. There is nothing worse than arriving somewhere after hours / days of travel, only to find out something isn't working quite right or at all. So this morning I grabbed the 5Ds, the 11-24 and my panoramic tripod set up with...
Late last year I was commissioned to take part in an Instagram & social media campaign with Qantas to celebrate their 95th birthday. The theme of the campaign was "Feels like home", we travelled around Australia finding out what home meant to Australians from all walks of life. It was a pretty amazing project to be part of, the flight schedule was definitely one of the more hectic ones that I've been on, with events every second day and flights...
With the way my work has been going over the last 2 years I've not had all that much time to do any photography in the South West of Western Australia, where I live. Instead I've been working all over Australia and the world with trips to Egypt, Jordan, Dubai (5 times), Cambodia, Iceland, Norway, Queensland, New South Wales, Tasmania (twice), South Australia and to the Pilbara and Kimberly regions of Western Australia. Over the last few months...
We had a pretty awesome light display last night with perfectly clear weather as a massive geomagnetic storm hit. I headed out to see if I could get any photos of it... it's not often that the Aurora is visible to the naked eye in Western Australia, but I could clearly see it! Here are my photos, taken from Augusta, Western Australia: All of these photos were captured with my new(ish) Sony A7r with a metabones adaptor...
I woke up at about 1am and decided to check the Space Weather site as there had been reports of a potentially large Aurora Australis. I was pretty excited on looking at the site as we were in the middle of a KP8 solar storm and there were reports of the Aurora being seen quite far north of Perth! I grabbed my gear and decided to head out to see if I could find some gaps in the rain and clouds that were over the South West. I started by checking it...
Hey All, It's been an incredibly busy year so far, I can't believe we're in Autumn here in Australia already! I'm looking forward to the weather and conditions that Autumn and Winter bring though, I've scouted a few new locations that I think will be perfect to photograph in winter. I've got a few projects on the go here in the South West right now, a couple of new ones in Perth and it looks like I might be making a very quick...
