There seems to be a few people that are struggling to add photos to the forum. I hope they find this helpful! When you hit the ‘post a reply’ button you get the following screen:   If you press the add picture button. Up pops the following HTML:   It can be quite confusing what […]

One of the things I have some across as a travelling photographer is that as soon as people find out your a photographer they would love it if you could just take some photos of this and that. My reaction to this has always been to cringe, my mind racing to the gear I don’t […]

Sometimes the best joke is the worst one …

Over the last couple of weeks I have been uploading the images that I have been shooting over the last few months of my travels around Australia to the Alamy Stock Library. I thought that in this post I could share my workflow from loading the images from my camera to my computer and all […]

Breaking a long silence on my blog with a series of images I took last week. These bicycles I found up on the range above Mclaren Vale in South Australia. Beautiful.

Running on a Thursday and Sunday evening the Mindil Sunset Market is a visitation highlight of Darwin. We decided to drop in on the midweek Thursday market and it was a great evening out. Make sure you take an empty stomach as I have never seen so many food vans in the same place before! […]

Being new to the Ebook format I decided it was about time that I had a look to see what books were out there to spend my hard earned money on. Conveniently this conscientious thought co-insided with an article about a new book released by Alexandre Buisse called Extreme Perspectives, from online blog PictureCorrect. It seemed too good […]

This is my response to a debate that seems to rear its head in the photography industry from time to time. This time it has been dragged up again through an interesting article on David Hobby in Slate magasine. To get a sense of just how bad things are for professional photographers right now, the story […]

Jumping Crocodiles! Well that was something we had to see! We were having a few days in Kakadu National Park which has been hit with one of the worst wet seasons for a while with plenty of flooding and plenty of roads in disrepair. It has to be said this is par for the course […]

A couple of photographs that I missed off my Uluru article were these two.  They were both taken in the morning and I think the one of the clouds over Uluru, Ayers Rock may be one of my favourites due to its individuality.   Related articles Uluru – Ayres Rock – The Red Heart Of […]

After the long drive along the first part of Route 87, Stuart Highway and the detour along the Lasseter Highway to Ayres Rock Resort. We arrived (thanks to daylight savings!) at 3.30pm with plenty of time to check in to the resort’s campsite and get our powered pitch (a special treat after roughing it through […]

Leaving Adelaide was bitter sweet, we have thoroughly enjoyed our time in Mclaren Vale thanks to our Wwoofing hosts Angie and Leon yet it was time to move on. Our next stop was Alice Springs via Uluru, Ayers Rock. Uluru was going to be a very special visit for us, being one of the main […]

For those of you who read my blog regularly will have noticed a gap in time! It is because we have been staying with Wwoofing hosts Angie and Leon on their farm. Wwoofing is an acronym for Willing Workers on Organic Farms and we signed up to be Wwoofers not long after we left Phillip […]

Adelaide Fringe Festival 2011 was a spectacular affair and was well worth the visit into Adelaide to see it. We went in while the Adelaide Street Theatre Festival was running and spent most of our time watching these side events. The Garden Of Extraordinary Delights was the main centre and focus of the festival and […]

Based out on the Fleur Peninsula and winner of the Fleurieu Peninsula Tourism Award is the Alexandrina Cheese Company. From their 80 Jersey cows they produce their own range of delicious cheeses. They make all their cheeses onsite which means the best days to visit are Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays as you can see through […]

Being in South Australia and especially since we are currently staying up above McLaren Valley we thought we should embark on a few tastings.  With over 200 Cellar Doors in this region of South Australia, everywhere you go there are vineyards.  With the current crop about to be picked there is a big buzz in […]

On the Fleurieu Way, Victor Harbor is a must on the places to stop and enjoy this part of South Australia. Encounter Bay is home to Granite Island which is connected to Victor Harbor by a 600 meter causeway. A Clydesdale-drawn tram has gone between the mainland and the island, ferrying many tourists who don’t […]

Winding along the South Australia coastline just south of Adelaide is the the Fleurieu Way. The Fleurieu Peninsula has many highlights including the wineries and seaside towns. Emily and I took a couple of days to drive through this scenic countryside and visit some of the attractions along the way. We stopped overnight at Waitpinga […]

  While finishing odd the Great Ocean Road we visited the Waworong Lookout up on the rim, looking down on The Blue Lake, just outside of Mount Gambier. Waworong Lookout gets its name from the aboriginal Booandik Tribe’s word for ‘Blue Lake’.  The Blue Lake supplies water for the City of Mount Gambier and gets […]

London Bridge … has fallen down! The collapse of London Bridge was only a matter of time. One evening in January 1990 the main arch of the London Bridge collapsed, breaking it away from the mainland.  Fotunately noone was injured and the only drama was a couple of people who were marooned on the newly […]

  With the rest of the day after a morning at the Twelve Apostles we had plenty of time to enjoy Lock Ard Gorge, the Ship Wreak Coast and the rest of the Twelve Apostles National Park. All the coasts features are amazing along this stretch and we explored this area with excitement, going down to […]

Another feature of the Twelve Apostles National Park was this archway, lesser known between Lock Ard Gorge and London Bridge. It is marked on tour guides and maps just as The Arch and we were grateful to have some time here away from the crowds that flock to the more well known features. The Grotto […]
