A beau­ti­ful red sun­set just near home in 2006. Cap­tured with a Canon 350D, Canon 10–22 and Cokin Z-Pro neu­tral den­sity filters.

Last week I drove to Stra­han to show a friend around the Tas­man­ian west coast but unfor­tu­nately it rained most of the time.  This was a quick shot while the rain briefly stopped.

Nice to fin­ish a long day relax­ing with the cam­era. Rest in peace Tarsh, your knowl­edge and pas­sion for art has moti­vated and taught me a lot, I will miss our friend­ship dearly.

I strug­gled whether to post this in black and white or colour. I’m not really fond of post­ing things in B&W as I find it ter­ri­bly over-done in the dig­i­tal age so I try to hold back.

This is a 59 sec expo­sure at f.13

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.

My home

The morn­ing sun­rise briefly lights Mt. Welling­ton with a beau­ti­ful orange tone. There one minute, gone the next.

My lit­tle city of Hobart viewed from Con­sti­tu­tion Dock

This pho­to­graph from Park Beach amuses me as the scene was dis­gust­ing, very windy and spray was going every­where. For a moment this shot mis­leads you to give a sense of a calm evening with the reflec­tions of an orange sunset.

A very rushed shot as I was already late for uni but as I drove past the pier I couldn’t help myself but to stop and take a quick photo.
