Outback Australia Panorama

The Australian Outback is something that really has to be experienced, standing in front of a single tree with nothingness in all directions – its a powerful moment. It makes you realise just how big a country we have and how limitless the number of opportunities and photographs of Australia are.

Tocumwal on the Murray River

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 Curl @ the National Museum of Australia

The National Muesum of Australia has some really cool architecture and some vivid colours. This is my first film panorama that I have scanned and cleaned up. Shot on the Linhof 617 Panoramic camera, using Velvia 100F film. The colours these film producers are really something special! The Curl was shot just on dusk with an exposure time of approximate 2 mins (was bracketed in 1/2 stops).

The port of Echuca – 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.
