Margaret River Drug Aware Pro Surf Comp 2015

Okay okay, I'm not gonna lie about it... I'm no professional sports photographer! Those of you who have been following my work will know that people, and sports for that matter, are rarely the main subjects of my photography... Nonetheless, when there's a world championship in your town, you as a photographer go out and shoot it! Period. :)

Cowaramup Bay - North Point

The rocky "North Point" of Cowaramup Bay is a great place for photographers. There's lots of break, swirls, amazing rock formations and patterns on the rocks and not to mention a stunning piece of coastline to the north and south...

Stargazing At Cape Naturaliste

Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse at 2.30am - that's when the magic happens :)

The Lady

This Weekend was pretty crappy... lots of rain and storms - but unfortunately not the photogenic kind, so I didn't get a chance to go out and take many pictures... I felt terrible and so Monday after work, I took a quick shower, grabbed my gear and headed West toward the Sea...

Wyadup Rocks and Injidup Beach

Wyadup beach truly is a gem! And it is fairly hidden away so you don't need to fear too big crowds ...

Leeuwin Lighthouse Sunset And The Galaxy

What a stunning night! I just got home from one E.P.I.C. photographic outing with my mate Mark from Perth. We first met up to shoot the sunset at Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse in Augusta and got some sweet-as silky smooth water shots, then we took a little break for a few hours (watched the A-Team movie - oh yeah!) and then headed back out in the middle of the night to capture the amazing southern night sky in it's full glory!

Bunker Bay! Or Sugarloaf Rock?!

Okay, now before you get too confused about the title of this blog post, here's the story:

The Jetty

I returned to Hamelin Bay last night after work to try and capture a particular shot I have had in my head for months...

Hazy Gracetown Sunset

The Northcliffe bushfires have covered the area in smoke all day long, but the real spectacle began about one hour before sunset when the whole sky turned orange and the sun itself turned into a fierce red ball of fire. Simply amazing!

So I spontaneously grabbed all my gear and headed to Gracetown for a few shots... smile emot

The Cape-To-Cape Track - Part 1: Cape Naturaliste to Injidup Beach

The Cape to Cape track is a 135 kilometer long walk along the cape region of Southwest Western Australia. It connects the Cape Naturaliste in the North with Cape Leeuwin in the south and leads through a versatile Landscape that offers almost everything...

2015-01-18 The Margaret River Airport

Ok we're starting this post off with some old cars but don't just go back to playing candy crush! The airport pics are further down... :) These old car wrecks are scattered around the outside of Margs' airport and surely greet all arrivals with a feeling of "Welcome to the Wild Wild West!" :)

This is my first attempt at making an animated GIF. About 20 images grouped together in Photoshop and animated upon export.

Time travelling in 15 minutes

If travelling East from Margaret River on Rosa Brook Rd, you will eventually pass this intriguing old general store...

Silent Sentries

68sec, f/11, ISO 100, 16mm, (B+W ND3.0 MRC) using the black-carding technique to darken the sky

Despite multiple visits to this quiet place, I always get inspired and amazed by the sight of these trees in the middle of the Margaret River.

Hamelin Harmony

What a start in the new year! Oh, and happy new year to you all!! :)

Since we've been very(very!) busy in the last days of 2014 with planning, renovating and moving into our new place I haven't gotten the chance to take any pictures before the end of the year. So to turn things around a little bit, I headed down south to Hamelin Bay on the evening of Januray 1st to enjoy and photograph the first sunset of the year(I could have done the first sunrise but that normally involves getting up and unreasonable hours ;) )

The Shire of Margaret River and Augusta

Right... it's been bloody ages since I last posted here...

Cascades on the Margaret River

 With all  the trouble my computer and the hard drives are giving me a the moment, I find it hard to dedicate time to go out and shoot. Just yesterday, while running a backup, my PC crashed repeatedly, until I found out that it was the backup software, of all things, that caused the issues...

Rails to Trails (Margaret River > Cowaramup) and a horror story...

Here we are again... the last two weeks have been rather troublesome...
