Port Willunga on the Fleurieu Peninsula is just another coastal suburb just south of Adelaide that has a rich history. As I sit in the studio looking out the window at the rain bucketing down here in Sydney I remember the summer days spent at this beach watching the locals go about their daily routine after work. Walking the dog, swimming in the cool calm waters, local kids playing along the rocks and amongst the old piers, just daily life. This was taken at close to 9pm, where were all of our long summer days this year?

After driving like a mad man for and hour and half from Kingscote on the north of the island we pulled up at Hanson Bay to the sun rising.   The fires on the mainland left hint of smoke in the air and the sunrise was a fiery vibrant mass of colour reflecting off the water and clouds alike. A pretty awe inspiring morning to be on the water. 

Photographing on remote islands is always challenging, but almost always rewarding. This particular afternoon I slipped off the RIB tender into 3 metres of water with my massive Pelican case in one hand and tripod in the other. I came up coughing and spluttering clinging to the Pelli case like a life ring. Swimming ashore and trudging up the beach I was soaked, it took me a while to get over the embarrassing debarking. Once I regained my composure I wandered along the shore and found this little scene as the sun was low on the horizon. The low cliff faces..

Whilst out on a research trip we dropped anchor in a bay as the sun was low on the horizon. Once all the chores were done I manage to get on shore and snap this glowing dusk scene.

Many afternoons I have sat in the office and thought to myself that the weather is too poor to get the camera out, but when I do find myself out on a lack luster day it often amazes me how much there is to capture. This day at Smiths Beach in Yallingup was a particularly cloudy uneventful day which turned into a moody afternoon and as the sun dropped below the horizon the breeze picked up along the shore forming a choppy surge which crashed agains the rocks with surprising ferocity. The sun lit up the low lying cloud that oppressed the..

Whilst in the Kimberly I drove up to the Aboriginal community at One Arm Point and spent a couple of days up there watching the tides rip past the Buccaneer Archipelago of islands just offshore. One late morning I was watching a couple of kids fishing along the shoreline and green turtle popped up in front of me, it was flailing about in the shallows as the tide ripped out to sea until it dived and tucked in behind a rock. The colour of the water was vivid blue with aqua trimmings along the shore, a spectacular morning.
