  • Autumn morning

    A different morning to the previous photo – it was a bit lighter, and I thought I could get some lovely light diffusion through the mist. And while this looks very early in the morning, it was actually about 8.00am, so I got to sleep in and take advantage of the beautiful view.

  • Misty morning

    I love seeing this view every morning. It’s so very peaceful – the sound of the birds, and the distant thumping of kangaroos. However, it’s really only this mysterious and misty in the cooler months, and I’ve edited it a little to make the green colours pop out a little more.

  • Kookaburra

    This curious kookaburra perched outside our kitchen window, on a perch obviously used by the previous owners as a bird feeder. He hung around for quite a while, seemingly hopeful that we would through him a bit of sausage, before flying away disappointed.

  • Max

    I love the unsuspecting and intimate portraits you can capture with a zoom lens (specifically, in this case, a 200mm). And my brother, looking pensive, and to my fond eyes, sort of like a brooding rock star.

  • Binoculars

    What mum and her partner spent a lot of time doing while they were visiting – looking up in the trees identifying birds. I now have a little list of birds that I know are on the property but that I haven’t personally seen. I’m eager to go out and get myself some binoculars now…
