Why I Love November
November in Australia is a time I look forward to every year. The weather starts warming up! The Orion Constellation starts rising in the east, and the Jacaranda trees blossom for that very short window of time. However this year the weather has not been steadily warming up. We have had hot days and cold…
Waterfalls and Name Change
In a previous post I mentioned that I had been up to Waterfall Gully here in Adelaide, but none of the photos really worked out. Well thanks to some post processing in Lightroom and Photoshop I was able to get a decent looking photo of the falls. Now I hate AI when it comes to…
Calendar 2026
Every year around September I start going through my favourite photos of the past 12 month and start putting together a calendar for the coming year. My 2026 Calendar is now ready. I have added a slide show and 2 YouTube links below for you to preview this on. If your view this on a…
To Another World
I went up to Waterfall Gully today. I was experimenting with different timings on the waterfalls. But none really turned out. It was the wrong time of day as well and the sun was hitting the lens in the wrong spot causing it to flare. So I will need to go up there again later…
Hiding
There’s a few places around Adelaide where you’re almost guaranteed to see some kangaroos in the wild. And I love them. I have share previously Kaiserstuhl Conservation Park in The Barossa Valley, north of Adelaide. If you live down south though, a good spot is Onkaparinga River National Park, near the Punchbowl Lookout. Wander through…
Colourful
A few years ago I sent a photo into the Mono Awards – A Black and White photo competition – of a albino peacock. The reason I had initially taken the photo of that white peacock was because none of the colourful peacocks would come out in the sun or put themselves in a position…
My Photography Story – Part 2
If your reading this and have not read “My Photography Story – Part 1 – Click this link I left off my Part 1 post with the photo you see here above. This was my first serious attempt at astro-photography. It takes a bit more effort that just holding, pointing and shooting the camera. Firstly…
Gorge
I went for a wander up to one of my favourite places recently. Gorge Wildlife Park In Cudlee Creek in The Adelaide Hills. This Meerkat was just sitting the contemplating the day. He didn’t seem perturbed by the arrival of us visitors. I was happy with how crisp this shot came out and how the…
Wildlife
We can go to zoos and wildlife parks any time we desire, and I have done that on many occasions. But nothing beats seeing the animals you love in the wild. One place that I have come to love is Kaiserstuhl Conservation Park in The Barossa Valley. I recently took a friend there, because the…
Wedge Tailed Eagle
I am going to start sharing short post showing off my favourite photos. The first is of a Wedge Tailed Eagle taken at Gorge Wildlife Park back in 2019 on a very wet day. I loved this photo so much that I ended up having it blown up into a full sized print and it…
My Photography Story – Part 1
My love of photography goes way back to the 1980’s when I was a kid and bought a 110 camera from Woolies! To be honest I cannot remember much of what I took with it. But it wasn’t long till I bought my first SLR. I bought my first SLR Camera because a friend had…

Reflections of a variety of Things!
Drought
My home state of South Australia is going through a very severe drought in 2025. At the end of April, we had only had just over 23mm (Not even 1 inch) of rain in Adelaide for the 2025 year to date readings. Usually we have had over 60mm by the end of March. In May…
The Mono Awards are Back
It’s that time of year again. The “Mono Awards” are back up and running. An annual Black and White Photograph Competition broken down into 3 categories. People – Places – Animals. The Photo I entered this year has been entered into “Places”. It has some irony to it as it was taken at an art…
