Arthur River, Tasmania.

Shot with a Canon 5D Mark II, Canon 17-40 and Cokin Z-Pro neutral density filters.

Was flicking through old photos from 2008 and came across a neglected set from Binalong Bay, Tasmania. I don’t normally do this but a before and after in case anyone is interested.

‘Golden hour’ light hitting Arthur River, Tasmania on sunset.

Not much swell tonight at Park Beach but luckily it was a pretty sunset. I pushed for a longer exposure (10 minutes) to give a sense there was a lot of swell and movement.

This two shot image from Binalong Bay, Tasmania has sat in my drafts since 2008. I’d just finished exams so decided to take a drive up the east cost for some camping + photos but it unfortunately rained (note: down poured) the whole time which created dull skies.

Photographed at F.18 / 4 second exposures with a Canon 350D, Canon 10-22, Cokin Z-Pro neutral density filters and a tripod. The two images were later stitched in PTGui and is not HDR.

A quick photo as the rain rolled through at Bellerive, Tasmania.

Wild weather on the Tasmanian West Coast.

I love finding and photographing new streams like this little one from the Tasmanian North West. Each location is always unique with fascinating rock formations and colour from the surrounding foliage. It’s relaxing just pottering around for a few hours firing off photos while getting my feet wet in the freezing winter water. I was fortunate that the day was overcast as this is perfect for photographing water streams or waterfalls as it gives you a nice soft even exposure. My rule of thumb is to only shoot streams when the weather is average, it might sound a bit over the top but it really helps.

Captured with a Canon 5D Mark II, Canon 17-40 and Circular Polariser. The polariser makes a significant difference as it reduces the glare of the water, lowers the exposure by a tiny amount while increasing the saturation a little. It’s a nice addition for anyone that is looking to shoot streams or waterfalls.
