Hi there 👋🏼 I'm a photographer from Sydney. As my profile says, you'll mostly find landscapes and travel pictures here, but I happily dabble in anything: street, wildlife, portraits, art nudes. Why tie yourself down?

Great photo! I would have picked “Ragnarok” for the title though 🙂

Sunset at The Rock Lookout in Mulgoa, NSW. One of the benefits of living at the foot of the Blue Mountains is being able to zip down to this spot when the light is good

The Nepean river cuts through a densely forested gorge during twilight. The sky displays soft blue and pink hues with wispy clouds, while dark green trees cover the steep hillsides on both sides of the reflective water below.

It would make for pretty cool photos of that worked!

Haha no. But my area does not power

Most photographers clone them out! Love the rainbow 🌈

I'm not 100% sold on the edit. Sometimes when I look at them, they feel oversaturated... but maybe that's how they need to be to convey how I felt standing there in that moment?

Been busy with life, but I managed to sneak out yesterday and catch the sunset in my local neighbourhood.

#sunset #landscapephotography #localphotographer

A steel electrical transmission tower with multiple power lines stretches against a soft sky during golden hour. The scene features warm peachy-pink and blue-gray tones with wispy clouds, creating a serene atmospheric mood as geometric power lines contrast with the organic cloud formations.

Power lines stretch diagonally across a deep blue twilight sky with birds flying in a V. A bright moon or light appears in the upper right against the gradient blue-to-purple evening sky.

Steel transmission towers rise against a vibrant sunset sky painted in blues and purples. Power lines create geometric patterns while silhouetted trees frame the bottom of the rural landscape scene.

This isn’t the way to build a following. Give me a reason to engage with you, like starting an interesting comment on my posts.

We all worry that Meta and the other tech firms know too much about us… and then they ask a childless middle aged man if he’s interested in necklaces and parenting 🤷

Been unhappy with the how few Milky Way shots I've managed so far this season. I might have to go for a road trip next weekend

I've seen some great aurora photos from the solar storm on the weekend, but I can't help but think that people were rushing their edits out the door: please level your photos! Once I've seen a slanted horizon, I can't actually see the subject of your image 🙃

What a great night for Aurora chasers last night! It was strong enough to see by naked eye in the Blue Mountains at 33°S.
