Right next to 'The Avenue'; possibly the most photographed autumn view in Australia is this nice little park. This year was not nearly as spectacular as previous ones, but there are still pockets of beautiful autumn trees around.

Causeway of the Giants - Fingal Head, NSW, AustraliaCauseway of the Giants - Fingal Head, NSW, AustraliaSuch a spectacular sunset. Took a while to build up the courage to cross the gap, but got here in the end.

This is one of my favorite seascape locations. This was such a spectacular sunset on the day I took this on my last visit to the Gold Coast. It took a while to build up the courage to cross the gap, but got here in the end. The tide was coming in and the sky was fading fast, so I didn't have long. This was the first shot taken on the other side of the rock, and has the strongest colours in the sky. After the sky faded I didn't waste too much time timing the waves again to cross the gap back to the mainland. Didn't really fancy spending the next 6 hours out there waiting for the tide. Hope you all had a great weekend.

Waterfall by worm light - Natural Bridge, Springbrook, Gold Coast, Australia

I would recommend anyone who visits the Gold Coast check out the Natural Bridge at night. Photos honestly cannot do it justice. It's lit by hundreds of glow worms and it feels like another world. Like seeing galaxy's of green stars in a cave with a waterfall. It was one of the most technically challenging images I have ever taken. This is a single 79second exposure at ISO2500, any longer and the movement of the worms is visible and the noise gets terrible. I got lucky with this exposure as some walkers had briefly lit up the falls with a torch. I tried not to use much light within the cave as its not good for them apparently.

Had a great chat with some other photographers there. I walked down at sunset, and hang about for an hour or two until it got really dark. The walk back out was quite nice too with little clusters in beside the track. I think I even saw some bioluminescent mushrooms! So yeah, that probably clears up any questions on the previous mystery image I shared. That was a close up of the glow worms. The red glow was another photographers focus light, which fooled my cameras auto white balance and shifted the green glowworms to a blue colour.

Anyhoo. Hope you enjoyed the read, feel free to ask me any questions. Have a great week!
