Went out to shoot an old spot I havn’t shot for over a year but it appeared the owner of the land has a gate up now even though I went and had a look anyways I thought id be better off shooting somewhere else so rushed back to Noble Falls and had a good time shooting here, had a couple of friendly ducks that were playing havock in the water in front of me!!

Tonight I headed out to one of my favourite salt lakes about 180kms out of Perth and was hoping there was some water in it and there was! was awesome standing there in the water shooting with perfect reflections on the perfectly still water.

Injidup Rocks

Was a decent walk to this spot from the carpark! worth it though, was tricky navigating over these rocks with the camera on tripod had me a bit nervous at times! Out here at sunset there isn’t a soul to be seen for miles which adds to the fun of shooting places like this.

Hey Everyone! has been a while since Ive posted anything new this is because I havn’t had a Camera for six weeks, I finally picked my new camera up last week! (as the bloggers on facebook would know) damn those Europeans going on summer holidays! the New camera is a Hasselblad H4D-40 and 35-90mm lens which is an awesome lens! hopefully get some more lenses next year anyways, I headed down south over this weekend to test it out and get used to the new system, Im very happy with the results! Cheers Camera Electronics! Cheers Saul for the Gitzo spiked tripod feet they are heaps better then normal rubber feet!

Here’s a shot from friday sunset down at injidup point, in the full size shot you can see my footprints in the dunes over in the distance.

This shot was taken at sunrise driving through Karijini, saw the morning light shining over the peaks and parked up quick and ran a few hundred metres down the road trying to find a good spot to set up shot! one of those magic moments.

Climbing into Knox Gorge Karijini

I was in Karijini a week before Christians Workshop and I took this video climbing down into Knox Gorge and stopped at this spot because I thought it was quite a high drop and couldn’t really believe that this was the way everyone climbs down, Looking at the pictures it also looks like the Spot the Nick Melidonis had his fall from the ledge below where Im standing quite amazing he didn’t hurt himself even worse!
