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.

F.13 / 20 seconds

I’ve been mean­ing to sub­mit this one for some time since I pho­tographed it in July but kept for­get­ting. This was cap­tured at Cra­dle Moun­tain National Park on a short walk to a much larger fall. We arrived late after­noon at around 3pm so it was already start­ing to get quite dark being the mid­dle of win­ter which was a real shame, this place was stun­ning and I prob­a­bly could of spent hours here just mess­ing around get­ting my feet wet but were rushed a little.

Another from Cra­dle Moun­tain, Tas­ma­nia. Those famil­iar of the national park may recog­nise the bridge as you enter the park and pass a water­fall. This is up a lit­tle look­ing back at the bridge behind the water­fall. I was almost tempted to fid­dle with black and white for this image as the sky really is quite dull but I’m attracted to the tones and tex­ture of the fore­ground rock which would oth­er­wise not be appre­ci­ated under a black and white conversion.

Udi at DIYPho​to​ga​phy​.net recently men­tioned my work on his pop­u­lar blog which I greatly appre­ci­ate It’s defi­nately a big thing for me know­ing my work is appre­ci­ated by oth­ers and is some­thing that inspires me to con­tinue shoot­ing.

This was taken on the walk into Pen­cil Pine Falls, Cra­dle Moun­tain. The weather for Dove Lake was ter­ri­ble with it being com­pletely over­cast with no con­trast what so ever in the clouds which wasn’t all bad for other styles of shoot­ing. The con­di­tions as we walked into Pen­cil Pine Falls were quite dark (2-3pm) how­ever the light was so soft and per­fect for what we were soon to shoot. We spent hours just tak­ing our time but I really need to get some gum­boots or some­thing so I can get more in the action but they would look a lit­tle gimpy haha.

Phase One P65 has been pre­viewed at Luminous-Landscape which sounds amaz­ing.. 60MP and incred­i­ble han­dling of noise at super long expo­sures but let’s not dis­cuss the price tag. Click here to view the pre­view article

Tourists at Cra­dle Moun­tain no way! But really Cra­dle Moun­tain is a beau­ti­ful place and I can under­stand how come tourists flock there for a walk around Dove Lake or to get a cliché shot. Amaz­ing place for pho­tog­ra­phers with the vary­ing weather con­di­tions which you can experience.

It sure is nice liv­ing in Tas­ma­nia but a bit cold for pho­tograph­ing win­ter landscapes

This pho­to­graph was taken with a Canon 350D, Canon 10–22, Cokin ND Grads and a tripod.
