IMG_0138-1One from the archives at Friendly Beaches, Tas­ma­nia. A nice place not far from Coles Bay or if you’r a tourist, Freycinet National Park. This was shot with the Canon 350D, Canon 10–22 and Cokin Nd grads. This is an amaz­ing place I might go back this week for a freez­ing camp­ing expedition.

I’m often asked by pho­tog­ra­phers on where is best to pho­to­graph in Tas­ma­nia. This is a small list of pho­to­graphic loca­tions that I’d rec­om­mend check­ing out while in Tas­ma­nia. I’m aware that there is many loca­tions miss­ing from this list but that’s because I’m yet to pho­to­graph them so will update the list accord­ingly. Also most of these loca­tions should suit most peo­ple as they’re quite acces­si­ble and usu­ally only a small walk. There’s also much to do off the beaten track in Tas­ma­nia which I will hope­fully get to one day.  If you have any ques­tions be sure to drop an email and I’d be happy to help.

I can’t believe the year is almost over.. Here are some of my favourite pho­tos from 2008

To start is two pho­tographs from an aban­doned men­tal hos­pi­tal with the Canon 10–22. These were taken at the begin­ning of the year which feels ages ago.

I hope you have enjoyed my pho­tographs from this year, I appre­ci­ate your sup­port and wish you a good 2009.

A photo from ear­lier this year at Hon­ey­moon Bay in the Freycinet National Park. It was quite a dull sun­rise with min­i­mal water move­ment so plans for shots of water rush­ing against the rocks were instantly scratched. So unlike my nor­mal shots, less empha­sis was placed on the move­ment of water but instead the sur­round­ing rocks were used as a fore­ground com­po­si­tion which worked ok in the end.

Shoot­ing with fel­low pho­tog­ra­pher Ron­nie Ling at Friendly Beaches, Tas­ma­nia ear­lier this year dur­ing win­ter. I love the East coast of Tas­ma­nia com­pared to more South­ern areas, the rocks are just stun­ning. Hope you enjoy.

Hon­ey­moon Bay is located within Freycinet National Park, Tasmania.

This was a hec­tic morn­ing as all 4 of us slept through our alarms and intended to visit another bay but were lim­ited for time as the sun was already ris­ing. It was freez­ing which seemed to fog my fil­ters (Cokins) up peri­od­i­cally so as you can imag­ine that was a lit­tle frus­trat­ing. That’s prob­a­bly one part of my Cokin fil­ters I don’t like so much as they are quite large (Z-Pro series) and if you have two fil­ters attatched, both can be quite exposed so it means both have to come off to be cleaned. How­ever other then that I like them ;)

A sec­ond image of a two part series from the east coast (Friendly Beaches, Tas­ma­nia). I wanted the same rock in both shots but one look­ing to the left of the beach whilst the other to the right to cap­ture the beauty of this amaz­ing place.

Was a nice trip and I wish I was still pot­ter­ing around tak­ing shots but uni is back in the swing of things which makes less time for trav­el­ling long dis­tances. Time to get some things planned for when semes­ter 2 is over ;)

A sun­set at Friendly Beaches, Tas­ma­nia pho­tographed at F.16 at 10 sec­onds with a Canon 350D, Canon 10–22, Cokin Nd Grads, Tri­pod and Remote. A beau­ti­ful side of the world which I can see myself tak­ing more pho­tos at hope­fully not in the too dis­tant future.
