Australian Wildlife photographs

Wildlife photography requires so much time and patience, thankfully sitting by the river on a beautiful summer day is always an enjoyable task. After 3 hours of trying to capture these Australian birds – I concluded a longer lens is needed! The Kookaburras were trying to feed their young and were definitely concerned about our presence – one of the kookaburras held the wood grub in its mouth for at least an hour before finally diving into the tree to feed them. It was well worth the wait and capturing this unique moment of a kookaburra IN an old gum tree!

Over the next month or two I will be photographing a lot more wildlife so stay tuned!

The storm rolls in

As I eluded to in this post. A storm cloud and some distant rain developed in a matter of minutes. Its these sort of events that create that beautiful, yet crazy coloured skies. If memory serves me correctly this was 7 frames stitched from the Canon 5D and 70-200. I’ve since acquired a proper panoramic camera – a Linhof 617 S. This amazing camera produces 6x17cm transparencies. With only 4 shots per roll of film it is a slow, yet beautiful machine. A lot more australian landscape photographs, particulary panoramas will be coming soon!

Telstra Tower Sunset

Another glowing sunset over Canberra. I actually made this photograph back in February this year and stumbled across it yesterday. About 3 minutes later some really nasty storm clouds approached and made for another panorama, this time without Telstra Tower – that is for another post.

The Australian Landscape never ceases to amaze and inspire me.

Telstra Tower Panorama

Telstra tower is such a recognisable symbol of Canberra. Some people love it, some people hate it. Either way I felt it is an important structure to create an iconic Australian Landscape photograph. Like all of my landscape work this is available as a print. Please contact me if you are interested.
