Some aerial images I took in the last few weeks from nearby to Singleton, in Glendon Brook, Mitchells Flat and Bulga.

Do you have a favourite shot? I need to pick one of each the Glendon Brook and Mitchells Flat shots to be included in a photo book.

If any one wants aerial images of their property I have packages for that! And if you are willing to sign a property release form so the images of your house can go on Austockphoto I'd be happy to come out and do some shots around your farm for free! Just send me a message if you are interested.

I'd love to capture some more close up aerial images of rural homes that I can be sure are not going to have privacy concerns. If I am taking photos without releases I make sure the house is far off or multiple properties are pictured and far off. I want to create beautiful photos for people to enjoy not annoy people who live near where I am flying!

Built for hard yakka.

From everyday washing to heavy work gear, our Australian made peg baskets are designed for it all.

✔ Handmade in Melbourne
✔ Weather-resistant materials
✔ Built to last 10–20 years outdoors

Because your laundry gear should work just as hard as you do.

One of the things I always find interesting about taking photos is which images speak to people. As I was photographing this peg basket series I took a lot of images, but for this scene I only took 2 photo before I decided I liked the bare washing line better. But as is often the way, this photo with the single scarf still hanging there was a favourite.

Handmade peg baskets designed for Australian homes. Durable, weather‑resistant and crafted from long‑lasting materials that won’t fade, rust or deteriorate. Practical laundry essentials that make everyday washing easier and more enjoyable.

"There really is something nostalgic and uniquely Australian about clotheslines, and you captured that feeling so perfectly in the images." - Rebecca

I just sent of my last lot of photos to It's In The Bag Designs.

Thankyou to everyone who loaned me the use of their washing lines for this product shoot project. Give It's In The Bag Designs page a follow to keep a look out for them sharing more photos. Especially if you want to see which shots made the final cut. Some photos from each line did and also give the page a follow because their bags are cool!

Here are a few of the photos that didn't make the final cut, because I know a few of you were wanting to see how well your lines modelled.

Not my usual share as it's not my photo so hope no-one minds. Callum is a sometime photography client of mine and also a great friend. I highly recommend Cal as a person who is passionate about music and sound and a lovely person all round.

Little Feather being my helper while not only hanging washing out but also shooting product photos for a small Aussie business I highly recommend checking out if you are in need of a peg bag!

Hanging out the washing might take a little longer...

But somehow you never seem to mind. 💗

I have made my love of photography a business for more than 11 years now! But it hasn't quenched my passion for wandering or flying around looking for cool shots. Or planning them out and creating them, (see the last photo in this selection). Here are just a few things around Singleton I captured last month in June!

Comment if you know where they are! Or if you shouted at me while driving past slowly so I couldn't try capturing the cars motion blur 😆😉

I suspect the photos having a place to live and see the world on Austockphoto has helped too. But I am sure even without it you couldn't stop me wanting to take photos!

I have taken a few lots of photos around Singleton recently and not posted any at all, so here are some from the top end of Gardner Circuit area in Singleton Heights! These were taken last week.

I am also hoping to go out and get some more drone photos when we have nice evening or morning light again so if you have suggestions do let me know!

Calling all photographers!

I am the steward for the Photography section at Singleton Show 2026! And though schedules have yet to officially go out you can click through to Showday Online and see all the updated categories including our special class for this year for anyone who likes to be creative with their photography!

class 2108- Special - Emerging Technology - themed "Life"

Whatever your take on "Life" is tell a story of "Life" with your image. There are lots of the usual classes for photographs as captured but this class is the one and only class you can use generative AI to add a bit of fun. Or just good old photoshop which is how these below images were made.

Your “Photograph” in class 2108 may include filters, photoshop, manipulation & AI generation but must be based around your original image. This is the only class in this section where these methods may be used.

I always love receiving emails back from happy families who have just looked through all their photos. I got permission to share this shot to show how Little Feather is quite the helper during my shoots. She even made a friend this time.

There were three kids in this session and especially the almost one year old loved watching Feather and everyone liked her games of peekaboo!

"Thank you so much! You have done an amazing job, really appreciate all your time, effort & skill ☺️
And it was also excellent having Little Feather there to keep the kids interested! 💯"
