Australian photos

washed away
- overnight the waves washed away my placement of three rocks.
I like the idea of photographs being a frozen drop of your life
Can you see the world famous artist I am influenced by in the photograph?

this mangrove tree
has been at Moona Moona creek for as long as I can remember, and I love trying to photograph it – I don’t think i’ll ever be able to take a photograph that I’m completely happy with of this mangrove tree
like the mango tree I like to take more photos every time I see it again
22/03/2012
make the trip
if you are in FNQ and can head up to the tablelands to see the Giant Fig trees
18/03/2012
well named
I like the name of this flower – it’s such a simple and suitable name
25/02/2012
todays’ favourite photo
- is this one
24/02/2012
31 today
- the weather today where I am is supposed to be 31 degrees.
why didn’t i check the prediction and head for the beach?

why are bubbles interesting?
I find bubbles add that extra element of interaction within a photograph, and that makes the photo have a dynamic range in sense
I’ve taken a couple of photos of this girl with bubbles that have become my favourite images.
It may just be that the bubbles make the image recognisable as being underwater.

it touched my leg
- and then I realised it was just seaweed
I love the colour of the sand and clear water of Jervis Bay
31/01/2012
simplicity
- some of my favourite photos have not a lot to them
I spent some time on sunday watching waves being pushed to shore thinking about the energy within the wave
19/01/2012
Interestingness
- this photo is rated as the most interesting on my flickr account
I wonder where the pippies joined the bottle and how far it has travelled to arrive on the beach on Fitzroy Island in FNQ
Just from the nearest boat?
or from the other side of the world?

my aussie summer
has been chasing the new chooks around
and wondering why there is a gate here
29/12/2011
look up
watching over our christmas outdoor lunch were these two young birds

plans for the beach
I’m making plans to be by the beach, like most new years eve in summer
Ideally I will be able to take a photo like this one – perhaps with a bigger wave
20/12/2011
the sun
has a very big role
on an individual
this photo was taken under water, laying the camera on the bottom of the ocean of not very deep water
I am really impressed with the intensity of the blue sky and the shape of the sun the lens and water created
18/12/2011
mt martha beach
… is great
- beautiful blue green water and slightly protected, i can see why people live in this village by the sea as stated by the sign welcoming you into the town
most people probably would not think it was by the beach from the name and maybe that’s a locals secret

grains of sand
I was attempting to photograph the pier, and ended up with lots of photos of sand.
taken at Point Lonsdale, Victoria – Australia

winter at Heidi
a fairly rainy day

horse carriage vs tram
Does any other place in Australia have tourist trams and also tourist horse rides, running side by side in the city?
Melbourne has lots of odd one-off things that happen here and there, across the city and out in the further sprawling 4 million + people.

Angel Demon babies
now in Melb town

i just need one!

rain fell continuously
in a visit to the Grampians, it rained and then a bit more rain
14/09/2011
see those claws
they hurt.
Every morning wandering on the walk up and over the hill as a primary school kid watching out for magpies.
The days I forgot it was usually too late by the time I heard the wings flapping.

FNQ plants and leaves
everything grows bigger in FNQ even the massive oversized lollipop leaves
02/09/2011

Australian Spring has gum trees flowering and the birds waking everyone up very early.

Mango tree
the cane wall is starting to grow up behind the Mango tree, in FNQ
29/08/2011
in the details
i love the details of the Australian landscape
and how nature is never still
and always shifting
06/08/2011
an old tyre
i’m not sure how the tyre managed to get into the rock pool at Little Bay, as it is a fair way to the closest road
20/07/2011
Little Bay
has a rock pool
and in winter some people still go swimming
and seagulls bathe
at Little Bay beach in Sydney
22/05/2011
Leura Cascades
In the Blue Mountains, on a cool and drizzly day

for snow yet?
bring on Melbourne winter
27/04/2011
along my street
are some bright red flowers that attract lots of bees – my neighbour saw me photographing them, and told me to visit earlier in the day to photograph the birds which these flowers also attract
09/04/2011
place to visit, not so secret
it’s not so secret, but to get there you really need to drive or be taken down to the Prom
have you been to the Prom?
16/03/2011
Wilson’s Prom – quickly picked
here are a few quickly picked images from my short day trip into Wilson’s Prom in Victoria
i took so many more, it was a beautiful day and an amazing place to be on a public holiday
not too many people were around
rain was promised
with water like a ‘jewel sea’
and i did quote to myself wandering around ‘i love a sunburnt country’
08/03/2011
a constant source of conversation in Melbourne
what is the weather doing?

14/10/2010
what bird is that?
there is a book called ‘what bird is that’ and i wish i’d had the day i took this photo, as the lady feeding the bird told me it was a king parrot.
politely i disagreed and suggested it maybe a rosella?
if i only had my library on my travels to prove my point

Hot chips
Seagulls at Apollo Bay scrambling for the chips
06/06/2010
my cousin has stubborn sheep
i dont blame the sheep for being stubborn, they had been through a fire near Bathurst, then penned up and trucked out west
these sheep were very hard to get off the truck
click in the image to see the missing half of the panorama, it has a complete black border
05/06/2010
Seagulls
eating fish and chips at the beach always attracts seagulls
this was taken on a windy day at Apollo Bay, on the little beach near the wharf, me testing out a friend’s nikon camera
11/05/2010
driving to the end of the road
end of the tarred road in Far North Queensland
will take you to where the rainforest meets the sea
its really hard to show how green and enclosed the rainforest feels
explaining to my friends why they could not swim in the water because of box-jelly fish
- stingers – made me feel like a bad person
10/05/2010
rainy day photography
playing with settings and misting the lens, decided it works ok, not fantastic, although i may not be happy since it was such a dark rainy day
10/05/2010
another photo
some where highly photographed is Sydney Habour

Sunrise
the photo above …. was taken in Victoria on a beautiful sunrise that i kinda woke up to, rather than got up before…
secret little place in Port Hedland that i think fishermen don’t want anyone to know about as you can drop your boat in from the caravan park – so simple and easy
