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

And God said what shall I call the squiggly rivers that seem to bend back on themselves, ah yes … meanders. In this case the rivers (dried-up) squiggle from one salt lake to the next. Quite a sight. These, and some other images on Google Photos were taken with my iPhone 6s and enhanced only slightly

The weather is changing here in Melbourne, for a couple of days at least – the days before we head off on our separate trips – Jenny to Queensland and me to Darwin. We just took it easy yesterday, having lunch by the sea and then walking out onto the pier at St Kilda. It’s

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

A wonderfully cloudless sky and the sun setting over Cowes on Phillip Island. I’ve setup the tripod on the beach at Silverleaves and managed to get a few images that I was reasonably happy with. Here they are – a few more shots I took that evening of a really lovely sky and the sea

You’ll have to forgive me here. I don’t get the chance to experiment with creating silky seascapes very often and it needs a slightly different technique than silky waterfalls, so when offered the possibility of “playing” when we were on Phillip Island near The Nobbies, I grabbed the chance whilst Jenny patiently waited in the car.

At last after five trips to Australia (seven for Jenny), we’ve finally seen a koala. We had to go to a Conservation Centre on Phillip Island mind you, so it was not totally wild I’m afraid. However, these rather shy, and threatened species are difficult to spot in the wild, so we were glad to
