    I have been to two of Brett?s photography workshops and each time have come away with new ideas. His ?Golden Light? session was held at Cornelian Bay beach at a perfect time of the day where you couldn?t help but take gorgeous photos. Brett is very skilled both as a teacher and a professional photographer. He makes his sessions entertaining and shares his teaching time equally with everyone in the group. I am looking forward to Brett's next workshop. I strongly recommend Brett's sessions.

    This was a great event. It gave me a basic understanding of my camera settings so that I can start to play around with my camera with a bit of an idea of what I need to be doing! Very worthwhile for anyone who has bought a camera and is confused about all the different terminology. Susie was also very down to earth and explained things in a way that was practical and easy to understand.

    Title or Location: Under the Tasman Bridge
    The photo was taken back in 2015 at the Tasman Bridge Lookout in Montagu Bay with my little compact Lumix TZ7. I was driving all over the city to get some night shots. I then had the idea to go to this spot, as I had gone to it many years before (late 80's ) but didn't have a camera on me. I was so happy the weather was just right.

    Title or Location: kunanyi/Mt Wellington Hobart Tasmani
    The view from the top of kunanyi/Mt Wellington is always good but I had a inkling, while overnighting in Hobart looking up at the mountain, it would be special when I saw the cloud drop down from the peak to the valleys. I drove up as soon as it cleared. I'd not seen this effect before. Specially, this time, I also had overseas visitors with me. It made this rare and beautiful view more meanignful to share with visitors.

    This was in the very first days of mine at Hobart. I moved from Melbourne to Hobart and was looking for an accommodation. After my work hours, I took a bus to see this house which was advertised on Facebook marketplace. Getting off the bus, walking for a few meters, it was a right turn with a steep climb. Even the cars were moving hard on their lower gears and I also started walking slowly. Walking halfway, I looked back to see how far I have come. To my surprise, this was the amazing sight my e

    Title or Location: Big Roaring Beach near Dover, Tasmania
    Big Roaring beach is one of my favourite spots down South. I very often come here for walks, (cold water) swimming. I adore the untamed, wild nature of this beach. There's always so much beauty to capture here. From sunrises and sunsets to textures and wild life including these resident seagulls. In this photo I loved how the birds aligned with the waves and the sky all in similar tones with their red legs giving the photo a bit of a pop of colour. Camera used CANON 600D ISO 200 F5.6 1/2000s

    I went down to the Hobart Waterfront on 3 March 2024 to catch a nice sunrise but the sky was rather ominous and not what I was expecting. This appearance lasted about 3 seconds and I was lucky to catch the colours.

    On this dewy, fresh morning something compelled me to grab my camera and take a picture as sandhill cranes strolling gracefully through the front yard. Harriet pictured here is, as always, accompanied by Ozzie and their offspring of the season. They have been welcomed morning coffee mates for the last 12 years. The picture captures the calm presence and the dancer's restlessness of these beautiful visitors.

    The Great Reno Balloon Race was this weekend. About a dozen balloon are up and aglow before dawn. This beautiful one was my favorite. Most shooting were using auto white balance, cloudy, or 5600K to keep the yellow cast from the flame. I prefer a white balance which retains the true colors of the balloons, especially for this balloon.

    Location: Upper Glen Alpine Falls. I hiked to this location after sunset. The foreground is a single photo I took during the blue hour for clarity and sharpness. I couldn't wait for the Milky Way at this location due to high bear activity it was almost dark by the time I hiked back to the car. The Milky Way picture is a stack of 19 frames for noise reduction, taken a few hours later over Lake Tahoe, which is just a few miles away from the falls.Edited in Luminar Neo.
