Upcoming Tasmanian Photography Workshops

I now have an online booking system for you to book and make payment all in one go. Some tours may show a “Call to Book” option or something similar. This usually means the tour date is close and I have had to start finalising rooms with the hotel. In this case a spot is...Read More

Aurora October 11 2024

2024 has been a great year for the aurora! The world was dazzled back in May when the aurora appeared in places it normally wouldn’t. Here in Tassie we experienced lights all over the sky that night – north, south, east and west – the first time I had seen that. And now, once again,...Read More

Tasman Island Cruise

The Tasman Island Cruise is a brilliant way to see wildlife, Tasman Island and the mighty dolerite sea cliffs of Tasmania’s Three Capes Track, and is included as part of my 3 day Tasman Peninsula Photography Workshops. The cruise is generally 3 hours and depending on the weather conditions on the day will take you...Read More
Comet Tsuchinshan ATLAS Eaglehawk Neck Tasmania

Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS (C/2023 A3)

Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS (C/2023 A3) is making a buzz (figuratively not literally!) as it appears in the pre-dawn skies these past few weeks, and I was able to capture it at Eaglehawk Neck on October 3. This image was captured with the Astro Tracer, which allowed me to shoot for 30 seconds without the comet/stars trailing....Read More

Mycena dancer

This tiny little mycena dancer fungi bug was having a grand ol’ time on a Pixies Parasol in the Styx Valley when we visited a few months ago. This is the full view – an enchanting little group of Pixies Parasols, aka Mycena interrupta, caught our eye in the Styx Valley back in May so...Read More

Timeless Tasmania – In Words

In the months ahead I’d like to use my website to elaborate on some of the themes in my upcoming book. Firstly, as a photographer its possible I’m guilty of believing that “a picture tells a thousand words” so the need for actual words is somewhat diminished – the pictures should speak for themselves, right?...Read More

Mycena kurramulla

This delightful little pink fungi – the Mycena kurramulla – was a very nice find on the Twisted Sister Track during my 3 day Mt Field and South West Tasmania photography workshop from earlier this year. The gills have very distinct margins, brownish red, which was a real feature and the main part I wanted...Read More

Sunrise Bay of Fires

Sunrise in the Bay of Fires is pretty much the main goal of my Bay of Fires photography workshops (the next of which – FYI – is running from October 23-26). This morning back in January started out innocently enough, perhaps even quite plainly to be honest, but pretty quickly blossomed into one of the...Read More

Frosty Ross

This incredible winter wonderland greeted us at Ross on a drive through Tasmania’s Midlands last month. The Macquarie River was completely frozen over, as was all the vegetation including the lovely Elm trees that line the main streets. The early morning light was really wonderful too, as a light mist hung over the town. Early...Read More
