Prepare for landing - Blue Mountains Botanic Garden
Blue Mountains Botanic Garden - Mt Tomah, NSW, Australia
So this is what a bee looks like coming to land on a flower in 1/4000th of a second. This planet continues to blow my mind from the microscopic level, to the vastness of space, from the split second, to the time-lapse.. There are so many systems, so many species, so many worlds, all operating side by side, usually with us walking by oblivious. Who knows the things this bee has seen, where its taking its pollen, the size of its family, if you will end up eating its honey on your toast…
Destination Nowhere - Zig Zag Railway
Zig Zag Railway - Clarence, NSW, Australia
While I dont often heavily process my images, I wanted to try and re-create the grungy abandoned feeling to this location by using multiple exposures and strong hdr. It was quite a sight to see this carriage in its current state as I remember riding on it as a child. There was a cautious climb and walk down the carriage to get past the massive hole in the floor. It was good fun creating this image, I think it translates the mood of this location, hope you all like it! :)
Smile! - Peron's tree frog (Litoria peronii)
Sydney, NSW, Australia
It was my pleasure to be taken out ‘Herping’ on the weekend and learn some tricks of the Herpetology trade. While I started out not finding a thing, plodding around like an elephant and scaring every little thing away. By the end I was able to sneak up on some slippery friends and get some nice shots. This one is my favorite from the adventure to this dam.
Some tips for newbies… Yes, you probably will get wet/muddy, no, thongs are not a practical footwear. Yes, there are tricks to seeing animals eyes, no, you probably didn't want to know there were that many spiders on the bank while you're walking around in broken thongs. Yes, you can use extension tubes to make a macro lens for this sort of photography, no, animals don’t tend to like having a lens an inch from their face so you can get maximum magnification.
Anyhoo, had a great time and got some very cool images. Thanks again to my instructor, hope you all got a laugh from my amateurish ways.

Sunrise on a random beach
South Island, New Zealand
I would be interested to hear how you guys interpret this image. It was taken with the focus on the footprints in the foreground with a quite shallow depth of field which is unusual for a landscape.
Happy travel tuesday !

The light at the end of the tunnelClarence, NSW, Australia
The path to our destination is not always a common one. We may go down the wrong road, but as we fall as one, our shadows unite, and open, moving toward the tunnel, into lustrous radiance. There the portal stretches out, and focuses toward the silver sky. Light comes and goes; darkness always is. Find the light. Reach up for it. When the path ignites the track of the soul, there is no remaining place, because what matters, is that we embark towards it. - Nadia Fortuna
I took this photo on the weekend. It was so hot in Australia (43 degrees C) but so nice and cool in this tunnel, as crazy dark and creepy as it was. This is a 63 second exposure to the detail in the shadows. I actually spent about half an hour down there taking multiple exposures, however settled on this single exposure in the end.
