A selection from the c.100 images I took from the front seat of the doors-off four-seater helicopter trip over the Wyndham mudflats at the mouth of the Ord River. The rest of the day we travelled from El Questro to Bungle Bungles …

What a fantastic location Zebedee Springs in El Questro is! These two shots were taken with my 90mm Macro lens. The one of the spider sitting on the stem at water level at 1/250th and f2.8 with ISO 160 as I didn’t want any depth of field at all. The one below of the wonderful

After an abortive trip to see a sunrise which took us to a road that had been washed-out – the wet season this year has been quite significant; we returned to Mirima NP near to Kununurra to see the end of the sunrise which let me experiment with my new-found skills. No more aperture priority

I’ve got enough images now to keep this blog going until the end of the year after a 6-day Photo Workshop in North-west Australia with Tom Putt, but I won’t – I’ll try and be a bit selective whilst posting the best ones to this page in due course. The one I’ve chosen from Day One

I just couldn’t think of anything funny to title this post, and I really wondered for a while whether it was a “moment like this”, but when I buy two new lenses it is a significant moment … for me at least. The last lens I purchased was my f2.8, 90mm macro, just over a

But before we get to the dam, a couple of “interesting” shots. The first was taken blind. Handheld, standing on the bottom rung of the fence, camera held high above my head – point, shoot and hope. Thankfully it sort of worked. On a dull day, the fencing becomes the picture. On a sunny day,

After processing in Lightroom … … and before processing in Lightroom. The EXIF information about the shot above as taken from the CameraISO 100 1/5sec at f/13 with a Sony A7r and FE 24-70mm F4 OSS lens @ 70mm The post-processing I applied in Lightroom. The first thing I did was rather unusual for me, after

If you look through my Galleries or Albums you will soon realise I rather like taking pictures of rivers, waterfalls, and the like. It’s obviously a throwback to my days as a fluvial geomorphologist and hydrologist. I think I’ve just about got the “silky” water effect cracked now, although when you’re short of light to start with,

I’ve reported before about trying to get to grips with macro-photography. Well … the opportunity to really try to get on top of this photographic “genre” came about on the latest Photo Workshop I participated in with Nick Jenkins. A return to familiar locations (for the first day at least) meant that I could just try

The textures and colours you get from the Millennium Centre when the sun is shining are just amazing. These four images (two of them receiving a bit of clarity and vibrance treatment in Lightroom) demonstrate this well. I particularly like the one above – certainly an argument for post-processing. This image would just not have seemed so
