The coastlines of the south west are spectacular - particularly around Dunsborough and Yallingup. Sugarloaf Rock (probably my favourite coastal location) is in this area and I made time recently to pay it another visit. While in the region I also did an evening shoot at the sheltered Shelley Cove.
Shelley Cove has nice rocky foregrounds, a small beach and shelter from the evening wind so it is an ideal location for an evening shoot. You might find yourself competing for space with fisherman though as it's a popular spot.....
Read MoreWhile in the Masai Mara, Kenya I got several opportunities to get photo's of a magnificent male lion in prime condition. I thought I'd share a few more portrait style shots that I came across while reviewing my archives. Enjoy!
Read MoreCheetah's are incredible animals. I think it is safe to say they are one of the most finely tuned and specialized large predators in the world. Along with some more images I made in Kenya last year I thought I would make a list of some interesting things about cheetah's. Like most of Africa's large predators, the cheetah is under incredible pressure from loss of habitat and.....
Read MoreThere are many lovely locations to photograph in the South Western part of WA but in the Albany/Great Southern region especially you are spoiled for choice. Of course there are the beautiful Stirling and Porongorup Ranges but the coastal views are also fantastic. This nice little beach is only a short drive from the.....
Read MoreThe Murchison Gorge is in Kalbarri National Park, Western Australia about half an hours drive from the popular seaside holiday destination of Kalbarri. The gorge is cut by the Murchison river which was dry when I was there at the beginning of 2014 (aside from the tidal portion closest to the ocean). There are a few gorge lookouts and walking trails, some of which take.....
Read MoreSituated in the northern part of Namibia, Etosha National Park is one of the iconic wildlife locations of southern Africa. At it's heart is the Etosha pan, a dry lake bed stretching to the horizon, which is virtually featureless (except for a few animals who seek refuge of a night because it doesn't provide any cover for predators). Surrounding this there....
Read MoreThere are some landscapes that are so unique to a particular place that they become emblematic of that place or country. For me Deadvlei is one of those iconic locations that represents Namibia. Any photo ever taken within the confines of the Deadvlei pan are immediately recognizable and could never be mistaken for some....
Read MoreNamibia has interested me for many years - for at least as long as I have been obsessed with photography. It has extraordinary landscapes but also most of the well known large African wildlife species including the 'big five'. Of course like all African countries it has a rich and diverse cultural history and a mix of tribal groups, each with their.....
Read MoreOn my recent trip to Kenya I was lucky enough to see a lot of the well known Masai Mara wildlife starting with a classic wildebeest river crossing near our camp. Over the course of the week my hopes of seeing a rhinoceros gradually dwindled until the last evening game drive on the last full day we finally had a call over the radio that one had been found. Light was fading.....
Read MoreThe Masai are a proud people. Historically they have lived in what is now south western Kenya and northern Tanzania, regions that include the world famous Masai Mara and Serengeti ecosystems. For centuries (around 400 years) they have lived in close quarters with the wildlife of these plains, raising their cattle and defending them from predators. Many of the.....
