The Tall and the Tiny

A few images from recent outings to Mt Field and the Styx Valley. Normally my day tours out here just include Russell and Horseshoe Falls as there is so much to photograph in that area, but lately I’ve walked the Tall Trees track a few times too. The Tall Trees walk at Mt Field is...Read More

Timeless Tasmania in Words – The Environment

As a landscape photographer and tour guide, it is fair to say I feel a very close attachment to the natural environment. Part of the introduction to my new book talks about really feeling the timelessness of nature – standing on the wild Tarkine coast under dark brooding skies; or at the base of ancient...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

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

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

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
