Tasmanian Landscapes

After recently spending two weeks road tripping around Tasmania – it is great to be able to finally process some of the images. Here are a few of my favourite black and white images from the trip. The first shot was taken in coles bay after sunset. The second is at the painted cliffs on Maria Island and the last 3 are all taken on a beach in Strahan. Please feel free to leave comments as always. Enjoy!

Murray River and the Great Ocean Road

Just after Christmas, Kim and I set out on a Journey to photograph the Murray River and have a bit of a holiday at the same time. The Trip ended up turning into 4500kms and covering the entire Murray River, a brief trip through Adelaide and then returning via the Great Ocean Road and Melbourne (which we only decided about half way through to do!)

The epic journey was a magical one – we saw so much wildlife, and beautiful scenery. The wildlife included 3 Echidnas, 8 Koalas, 5 Emus, a pack of Wallaby’s, Seals, Penguins, a whole bunch of native birds and much more.

Over the next month or so I will be putting many more photos online as I go through 1500 odd and scan 23 rolls of film! Here is a sneak peak at a few of the panoramas. Many more to come once I get this film scanned (the vast majority of panoramas are on film so it will take a little longer than the digital counterparts, but the amazing colour and sheer image quality will be worth the wait.

There will also be a few surprises and treats in store including a couple of videos and stop motion landscapes!

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!
