Hi Everyone, It's been a while since I've posted, the cold season here was rather uninspiring and I had slowed down with my photography especially since lockdowns have been going on over here. Anyways, one positive thing has been that I can now travel within the 10km limit to local parks during...

Hi everyone, I have been quite busy since my last visit about 2 weeks ago. First I have a small legal issue which is beig resolved, hope to tell you more once it is sorted. Then i got involved in helping a neighbour improve his coffee van website, been doing some product photography with coffee...

Recently I started shooting birds around my area and really enjoyed the experience, so I purchased a dedicated lens for this purpose. First time out with Sony 200-600mm G lens on my A6400, It was a bit late on the day, the sun was setting but I managed to get a pic of this beautiful lil guy...

Hi All, This is my first post. Still learning the ins and outs of Macro shooting. But hopefully will soon share more and more shots. Found this little jumping spider on my fence, there seems to be quite a few that live around here. So far I think I've seen 3 different types. They're great...

Hi, I've been playing a bit with some UV photography. I have a large collection of cacti around my house and while exploring my plants and cacti at night using my torch that I found one particular cactus which naturally had an array of amazing colours under UV. #discocactus #UVphotography...

Another spider from the Grampians. This spider was one of the first things I managed to shoot while at the Grampians, after arriving and unpacking it was evening, cicadas were singing and I was not going to let the first night at this place go to waste. I had already been doing some night macro...

Hello, This photo is from a few months back. I was looking around my front garden when I noticed a very unusual spider web, the web had width as well as depth, it was like comparing a 3d object vs a picture, it was extremely complex and relatively small. I looked at the web for a while when I...

Hi Everyone, More photos from my Grampians trip, I found what appears to be a redback "couple". I'm not sure if that's a thing as redback male spiders have a high chance of being eaten during mating (something which disturbingly some males help the female achieve) and they are solitary as far...

Hi, Aside from shooting my usual insect macro, landscape and some astro I did take some time to shoot some of the flowers and lichen I found at the Grampians. I tried to find out the names of the species and got most. In the end I had so many from my trip i chose to place them all in this post...

Hi, I found this spider on an eucalyptus bark, its was tiny, about 2mm long, seems like a juvenile crab spider. The colour contrast on the bark made it stand out for me, hope you like it

Hello, Night shoot at a nearby park, very common and active at night. I see many of these large spiders on eucalyptus tress where they blend in almost perfectly against the tree bark, here I was lucky to find this spider on some tall reeds.

Hi, Practicing some jumping spider shots before my Grampians trip. Found this male jumping spider in my front garden. This specific species of jumping spider I have become very familiar with, they are very abundant during the warmer months, the females are much more difficult to identify, they...

Hi, Yesterday was a great day for damselflies and dragonflies in my nearby park. I was able to capture a few different species. This beautiful slender ringtail was one of my favourites of the day. Hope you like it. Cheers,

Hello, I saw this insect on a morning glory flower in my front yard, initially i thought it was a winged ant, something quite common here at spring time, but when i looked closer I noticed it was a very small bee, so I am glad I decided to photograph it. These very small bees do not have a...

A new style of ancient Aboriginal rock art in Australia has been documented for the first time. Professor Paul Tacon explains how the 572 paintings known as the Maliwawa Figures offer a glimpse into life more than 6,000 years ago. I find this so fascinating a beautiful

Hi, I have been wanting a butterfly photo for a long time, unfortunately where i live they are quite rare, cabbage moths everywhere but not much butterflies. I spotted this butterfly 2 days ago in my front garden and I had about a minute to shoot it before it flew away. Hope you like it.
