Photographer - landscapes in remote and cooler climates are my passion. But I also find time to shoot closer to home when I can. No AI, just lens, light and intent...

Forest green.
Photographing deep in the forest is challenging. To make sense of nature's chaos and display something meaningful is difficult.

Sunday sunrise.
Just another sunrise, or just after sunrise shot. Immersed on the beach at the start of the day... ☕
Back to more series photographic endeavours soon.

Burner 🔥🔥🔥
Kicking off the weekend with a bit of 'jetty action' for your viewing pleasure. Nature was kind this morning and delivered a burner sunrise on the beach.
Life is good... ☕

Supermoon.
A supermoon rising over the Byron Bay lighthouse. This image was not taken last night, but from a previous drive to Australia's most easterly point, Byron Bay.

Just a hint of autumn...
Seeing so many autumnal posts here these last days. Unfortunately in Oz we are looking down the barrel of a hot and humid summer fast approaching. But anyway, here is my autumn shot from cooler times.

It's the weekend, let's go....
Road trips in my opinion are the best. Get to see and experience the great outdoors. Even better with camera in hand and reasons to stop, immerse in nature and shoot. Then repeat... 📷

Moving on from my last and self-congratulatory post 🙄
This image is another from my series taken on the shoreline of the glacial lake at sunrise. Good times...

My photography is a personal passion, it is not my day job. Photography delivers me deep pleasure and fulfilment. Positive feedback - especially when someone buys my art means a lot to me.
Whereas today this award arrived, a recognition I’m truly humbled and grateful to receive.

Escarpment.
The south island of New Zealand offers so many wonderful hiking experiences. This image is from one mountain top looking across to it's neighbour probably 1000 metres away.
It's Monday here, so this is my bit for #MountainMonday

Saturated.
An extremely wet but still day in the Sound. As the last light of the day was exiting, the clouds descended and soon this view was gone.

On the beach, the sun has set and the last bits of luminosity are fading along the horizon.
Perfect way to end the day…

Follow the Light.
I love photographing nature. Further, there are endless photographic possibilities when immersing yourself in forests. Both forest types - the well kept and paved, as well as the 100% natural and relatively untouched forest land.
