  • Misty water

    Practicing with long exposures at the Blue Dog Photography workshop, in the Mt Tamborine Botanic Gardens.

  • Frozen liquid

    A bloke pouring water over his hand in a driveway in the sunlight can look very cool given the right shutter speed. Taken at a photography workshop with Blue Dog Photography at Mr Tamborine.

  • Football

    Kicking the football around while camping – I quite liked the sharpness I was able to get despite the overcast weather.

  • Campire

    I think open fires are one of my favourite things about camping, particularly in the winter months. Despite coming home with everything – including my hair – smelling strongly of woodsmoke, it’s lovely to sit on camp chairs in a circle, toasting marshmallows, and taking turns to add a log to the blaze.
