Welcome Everybody

Hello - Welcome. The purpose of this site is to document my experiences photographing wildlife and nature throughout Australia and abroad.  I hope you find the content interesting and educational, and the images  cause you to reflect on how important it is preserve natural places and their inhabitants.

All wildife has been photographed in the wild and animals are NOT captive or living in enclosures.

For me photography of the natural world is more than just pretty settings and cuddly animal photos. It's a concern for the environment and the earth all living creatures must share.

Note that images appearing in journal posts are often not optimally processed due to time constraints.

You are welcome to comment on any post.

Every now and again I get asked to do something different.  An engineering client requested some images of the Tasman Bridge for use in one of the company reports.  The request was a little odd in that they wanted something different to indicate the structure and form of engineering.  Rather than shoot the bridge (which the world has already done) I opted to explore the underside of the bridge where few people venture.  All in all I think I shot around 35 frames of different structures from varying angles which in my opinion related to form and structure.  I liked the way the massive cement columns, unpainted and natural, seemed to overpower the viewer.  I also liked the way that the sunlight, which was still rather harsh for that time of day, struck the cement leaving strong straight shadows.  In my mind these lines of shadow helped to define the structure and strength of the bridge.  To help emphasize this, I choose to shoot in muted colors, black and white and colour.
