There is an albatross in this picture taken right near the jetty (not the gull on the rock). Start of a top day.

In the early morning, on the charter boat Pauletta, heading out to look at pelagic birds is always full of promise. In particular, for me, that I'll see interesting birds in circumstances that make beautiful photos. On this May morning, the light on the rocks at the entrance to the bay with a gull b...

Platycercus caledonicus (Green Rosella) IUCN Status: Least Concern Wildlife photography is often a remote and isolated endeavour. Sometimes though, you get to share the joy of seeing nature on spectacular display with a friend. As it was on this day, when my friend Mark and had a wonderful time phot...

Astro, Landscape, Wildlife.... all three? Happy way to spend and arvo whichever way.

QLD, Round Island Shot from the pier at Urangan, more than 2kms from the island, I have wanted to explore shooting moon rises with my monster wildlife lens. I hope to do more of this... as the lunar/solar rise/set alignment allows. The the keen eyes, this is still a wildlife shot.... many pied cormo...

Nothing beats great light and beautiful scenery.

It's been a long time since I posted. This is due to my heartbreak caused by the mob hosting my website.

When I set it up, I chose Zenfolio as a dedicated photography focused hosting platform. I've poured so much of myself into that site.... and little by little they've stripped features and crippled it's usefulness. A couple of months ago they announced they were mothballing the current users and starting a new site. I've not seen anything on migration, and I've been floundering trying to come up with a good way forward. In effect I've been road blocked and not publishing recent photos that I'm proud of.

I'll work it out, but for now I'm committing to publishing again. Here is the first.

Taken from Fossil Bay lookout in the early morning before heading out to look at pelagic birds. Trying new things and compositions.

Tachyglossus aculeatus (Short-beaked Echidna) IUCN Status: Least Concern Some species are just difficult to photograph.

Sometimes you need to stop and look behind you.

Sometimes you need to stop and look behind you.

Haliastur sphenurus (Whistling Kite) IUCN Status: Least Concern I don't often shoot backlit. Most of the time I'm looking 190 degrees away form the sun for animals in good light. Sometimes though, the shot is just too good, too obvious. Walking between locations a kite landed on this dead tree, and....
