    A misty Autumn morning in Canberra. So I headed to one of my favourite spots, Acacia Inlet Lake Burley Griffin. A beautiful scene with the mist sitting on the water and the golden Autumn glow of the Poplar trees and reeds.

    Title or Location: Sydney, Australia Vivid Festival 2024
    I went to Sydney for a High School Reunion and I thought while I was in Sydney I couldn't miss out on seeing the Vivid Festival. I have often wanted to see this festival of lights but this is the first time that I was able to. We travelled by train into Circular Quay. I walked around the waterfront with many hundreds of people until I found a nice spot to myself along the edge of the water with a lovely view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. I set up my tripod and waited until the colours that I wan

    After a decade in Atlanta ,visited Piedmont park in the fall of 2024 .Just Bought a new (used) camera and wanted to test out the micro contrast and details that it was famed for.Boy did it perform!!The light lasted for just a minute and I was lucky to have been there. I was sure of a good cloud cover that day based on Meteoblue app. The light show was the cherry on top .Camera: Leica q2Settings: Manual,ISO 800,1/125S, F6.3 ,Handheld.

    Title or Location: Lindisfarne Castle
    We my partner and I arrived at and crossed the causeway around 4pm that day and that gave us time to look around for good compositions around the Lindisfarne castle, features we could use to give a sense of location, scale and additional interest to the aurora that was predicted to kick off soon after darkness fell. Boy it did kick off too and even when we left driving homeward around 10.30pm the aurora was still lighting up the sky with vivid green and reds easily spotted from the inside of

    I?ve spent many, many, many hours over the last few weeks hiking many, many, many miles in search of these guys. Tens of thousands of trees searched in, piles and piles of dirt, seeds, leaves, and sticks dumped out of my shoes. There really isn?t much more of a reward than getting one entirely unobstructed.

    This portrait was taken during the golden hour, shortly before sunset, at Port Hills Christchurch . The soft, diffused sunlight beautifully highlights the subject?s face and complements the warm tones of the outfit and natural surroundings.The straw hat with a blue ribbon adds a timeless charm, creating a contrast between rustic simplicity and subtle elegance. The photo captures a moment of introspection, as the subject gently rests her hand on her cheek, gazing thoughtfully into the distanc
