Manage to sneak out for a quick flight in between the storm fronts and caught this shot. Quite often there is plenty of marine creatures to track and shoot, but it’s hard to get them into their environment and compose a shot that incorporates them. Was pr

Some serious sand moving Eddie currents spinning off the headland today with hat south swell direction. It’s incredible the amount of sand that gets dumped and removed on a regular basis. No real surprise why Minjerribah is the second largest sand islands
Luke KC:
Not quite a whirlpool, more like a swirl pool ! Made for a nice foreground d element for my aerial composition. When the prevailing g SSE swell wraps around the dune rocks headlands at deadman’s beach. Created this nice boundary layer causing a few spinne

Very Australian scene this morning. About 50 fresh baby praying mantis hatched from under a desert rose plant. I assume they were so fresh they hadn’t even left the plant yet. Very cool to see them, as they were gone later that day. #australiana #prayingm

The infamous rainbow channel in Morton bay. Classic #crocodile country if you believe the hype. The #colours can really turn it on here when the lighting tides and a polarizer all come together. Just to be clear this was taken a week or so ago. Not curren

Been sooo long since I posted on Instagram. It’s really been #bugging me. Got this #macro shot of a little juvenile grasshopper of some sort. Sitting on a #Gaillarde (could be wrong). Some cool macro detail and reasonable window of nice light. #primary co

Ok, maybe there was a few other shots. But with the driving rain and killer wind. Opportunities were a bit hard to come by. Managed this one right off the side of the road. I think this is normally pretty subdued, but with the relentless rain it was ragin

Unfortunately our trip to the blue mountains was during torrential rainfalls. 3 straight data of wind cloud and rain. But what can you do. Trails closed. Access road shut and limited visibility. Best I can do with the moody situation. #bluemountains #grey

Another #twilight shot of circular quay. Worth hanging around for a bit more dynamic lighting. #NSW #Circularquay #twilight #city #sydney #lights

#token #opera house visit. I nagged the family to stay until the #twilight so we could enjoy this iconic location with some nice evening light. Thank god it didn’t rain. #NSW #Operahouse #hadtodoit #twilight #colours #iphone

Queen Victoria Building in Sydney was a bit of a favorite for the symmetry and architecture. Found myself wondering off upstairs in search of the high encompassing shot. #QueenVictoriaBuilding #symmetry #panorama #iphone #NSW #Sydney #IHateShoppingPreferS

A different view of the Smoky Cape Lighthouse from 120m above it. #smokycape #lighthouse #shadows #DJI #Mavic

Took a chance that the gap under the clouds would create a small window of magic light. So I flew my drone down to the waters edge and composed the lovely Leopard 40 Cat with the storm clouds and sun peaking through. Light was spectacular for a few minute

Nature is really beautiful ! Look at those fine hairs and geometric symmetry. my wife thinks otherwise. #nature #symmetry #spider #spiderart #hairy #aracnofobia #stradbrokeisland #redlandanyday #straddieis

Nice sunset under the rain cloud this evening. Luckily Anna forced us all to come home early in time to catch it. Brisbane city made for a nice silhouette with Mt Cootha in the background. I have a graduated neutral density filter to help balance the cont

Nailed this strike handheld as the system passed over us. Was one of the most active front I have seen in a while. For the photographers it was 1/60 of a second. . #lightning #brisbane #sEQLF #brisbanestorm #handheld #nikon

An image from a while back. Was down shooting a sunset at #dunwich and got some great last bursts of light. To my surprise wading around in the water attracted the attention of a local #pelican. Obviously expecting a possible handout he flew in for a clos

Can’t wait to get out of isolation and chase some marine creatures. Have a bit of salt water withdrawals. ;) Looks like I wasn’t the only one following the dolphins. #straddieis #redlandanyday #dolphins #marine features #DJI #MavicPro2 #droneoftheday #seq

Like a whistle branched Bansai tree of sand. This clear water view was nicely tarnished with bucket loads of sand. Sucked up from the bar ! This shot are often best when the first wave of the set. Clean clear settled water, then a nice big dumper to get t

All that rain over the break had some advantages. Managed to catch this tree frog in the bright red Centre of the bromeliad. Lucky timing as we have never seen him in there again since this shot. #treefrog #green #bromeliad #redandgreen #colour #naturelov

Classic #mainbeach on Straddie today. This place is amazing when it turns it on. Good waves, warm water, low winds. #straddiemagic a few drone shots from headlands and a few friends in the water. #DJI #mavic2pro #polariser #sharks #mystery #marinecreature

When it was raining and I had a few moments to explore around the house at Straddie. I often take may macro lens out and just sit down in an area and see what I can find. There are sooo many critters around at the moment. I found this bright #green #cater

Sunset shot from down at Dunwich. Wasn’t the most spectacular lighting, but managed to make a moody composition with some nice green seaweed coral and some moving water. These wrecks were old sand barges beached to protect the banks and nearby deep water

Shade from Straddie from a wet and stormy New Years break. Luckily there has been some swell through it all. The place never disappoints. #straddieis #pandanas #stormy #moody #rain #colours #naturelovers #landscapephotography #layers #redlandanyday

Another shot from the big day at Cylinder. Was pretty solid sets at this point. I believe this was @ewing.curtis paddling out amongst the giants walls rolling in. Was nice to get him in the shot to give it some perspective. #cycloneSeth #cylinderbeach #wa

Cyclone Seth lines stacked up out the back from the #Cylinder headlands. Has been an epic could of days of swell. #Bankreset for a few places I’d say. I saw the Swellnet surf report said 8-10ft. Let’s hope it holds for a few more days. #redlandsanyday #st
