Travel guide of Blue Mountains
Somewhere in the Blue Mountains there is a town called Mountain Lagoon. There are no paved roads, only single lane dirt tracks and no stores or service stations that I could find. There are some great secluded swimming spots in the river at the bottom of a valley not too far from town. I saw no people but I did find a bunch of cows living on the edge of the forest.

It was a cold winter’s night in Australia’s Blue Mountains region of New South Wales and we were told there was a meteor shower for the ages inbound. Set this shot up and while i’m not convinced the meteor shower was real, was more than happy to settle for a shooting star and a dwarf galaxy.

One of my friends messaged me if I wanted to go camping at this spot for sunrise. After finishing work at 9:30PM, we made our 3 hour drive through the night to get to the location. Once we got there at 1AM we set up camp for the night. In the morning we work up early so that we had enough time to pack up camp and get to the look out. The views from the lookout were truely unbelievable, the colours from the blue mist and the golden rays from the rising sun was a moment not to be missed.

I saw this duck that was eating for a good 5 minutes and even after that it was still nibbling here and there. It looked really happy so I wanted to capture a picture where it shows this particular duck’s favourite thing to do. This was shot in a botanical garden somewhere in Sydney Australia where it was abundant in wild animals just roaming the park.

Built in a dockyard in Grangemouth, Scotland in 1911. Arriving in Sydney a year later, it was originally called the Corrimal and during the Second World War it would transport supplies to US troops in the Pacific. When the war ended it was renamed and became a collier on the “sixty miler” run transporting coal from Newcastle to Sydney. It came to Homebush Bay in 1972 and was left behind after the scrap metal prices tumbled and closed down.

Flying my drone over palm beach Sydney saw something a bit out of the ordinary a boat flying full pace towards the cliff, luckily he stopped just before hitting and threw a line out for a fish.

I was just playing around with my new canon lens and after I took a few random photos, I suddenly realized that I caught the Skyline of Sydney with the Opera House, the CBD and the Harbour Bridge in one picture in a good light.

so I was shooting the Sydney harbour bridge and the fisherman one winter morning and I saw this man fishing alone on the warm, approaching him I asked whether he was cool if I took photos of him and he reluctantly accepted, as I shot him we began making small talk to avoid awkward silence, in doing do I found out that he had migrated to Australia int he 1980’s from a war torn country and fished every day for 30 years at this spot, he reminisced on how many fish used to be on offer and the better quality of fishing rods back then. it really made me appreciate this shot so much more

This is one of my favourite shots. It captures the serene nature of this beautiful location. The exhausting trek up the headland was worth it, it is quite an exquisite view from Barrenjoey lighthouse. The pure beauty of the Northern Beaches is one of a kind.

I took this photo while visiting my ex-girlfriend in Sydney, Australia. I had come just in time for the Vivid Lights festival, and took this long exposure shot of the cityscape of downtown Sydney.

Taken at the Circular Quay ferry terminal - with a little luck the ferry was out giving me a clear view of the Opera house during the Sydney Vivid festival. This is a 3 exposure HDR

I was wandering the streets of Sydney on a bright Sunday afternoon and came across the Ernst & Young building in the CBD. Seeing the architecture from underneath gave me a different perspective to view buildings, especially because I was laying down to take it :)
