A classic Sydney June sunrise taken at my favourite rock pool (and not just because it’s so close to home): Ivor Rowe.

One night back in May 2020 I ventured out to Stockton Sand Dunes for the first time with some friends for some epic astrophotography.

On a balmy summers night, patiently we waited for the scheduled fireworks to explode the stunning Sydney Opera House as part of the Carols in the Domain.

Another shot from one of my favourite waterfall walks I've ever done: Terrace Falls Loop just next to Hazelbrook in the Blue Mountains, and under 2 hours from Sydney!

On a little trip away when the world was still open to us, I stopped by Somersby Falls in Brisbane Water National Park to see what it was all about.

"Fall Into Me"

This is Andamira Falls in Brisbane Water National Park, found on the Girrakool (an Aboriginal word meaning ‘place of still waters’) loop track.

I'm not sure how I feel about this photo, so I have no idea why I'm posting it. I think maybe because at the end of the day I don't actually hate it, I'm just not thrilled with it. I feel like it's just too busy, with too much going on.

I wanted to see if I could capture the wispiness of the water against the textures of the rocks and ferns, as well as accentuate the rich orange colour glowing in the gloom, and because of the texture and busyness of the scene, I deliberately tried to edit the photo in such a way as to accentuate the depth and moodiness of the scene

And this is what I came away with

I think with some better framing it could have been a lot better. But life is about learning, so hopefully I learnt something from this

So yeah, it's not my favourite photo, but it's not bad.

I acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land on which I took this photo, and recognise their continuing connection to the land, waters and culture
