Jo & Jerry {Wedding Photography Echuca}

Jo and Jerry’s wedding on the Murray River was extra close to my heart for a couple of reasons; as well as being yet another beautiful wedding which I was asked to document, it was my Aunty Jo getting married! Unlike most wedding receptions, there was some interesting entertainment including a magician and an appearance from Peter Garrett (on the dance floor at least!).   The festivities lasted for a couple of days with the guests enjoying the wedding and spending the next morning having breakfast on a paddle steamer.

Tocumwal on the Murray River

tocumwal-bridge-murray-river-panorama

Tocumwal is small town based on the Murray River. During tourist months the population increases 3 fold. Tocumwal has great meaning to me, it is where I spent the first years of my life growing up and the bridge is something I have always liked. Dad used to tell me stories about how clear the water was when he was younger – being able to see to the botttom of the river from the bridge. You would be lucky to be able to see 1 or 2 feet now days.

The port of Echuca – Panorama

round-the-bend-panorama

Echuca is on the MurrayRiver, between  Swan Hill and Tocumwal. The historic port is really quite beautiful and loaded with history and paddle steamers – it’s well worth a visit if you are in the area. While down on the waters edge, I met another landscape photographer, Matt Handby. He has a great panoramic gallery in the main street and is a very helpful bloke too! You can view his work online at www.matthandby.com. He happens to use a Linhof 617 as well! Please feel free to leave feedback in the comments.

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!
