Hmm? I wonder which of the autumn colours we’ll see during the upcoming ‘turning of the fagus’, when the lush green foliage transforms into brilliant golds, fiery oranges and - if the season allows - earthy reds.
The season is a couple of months away yet, but now is a great time to arrange a Private Photography Day Out or join our scheduled Women’s Photography Escape in Mt Field National Park in April. More info below.

Hands up if you love photographing waterfalls? 🙌💦📷
What is it about waterfalls that captivates us before we even take a photo?
Is it the sound of water rushing in the distance, the cool mist on your skin or that sense of awe as you approach it? 🌿
We've just published a new blog post and we'd love you to join us to go beyond simply framing a shot and adjusting camera settings and explore an experiential approach to waterfall photography.

Oh my, how the months of our year-long sabbatical are flying by. So many life events including a roller coaster ride that we didn’t expect… and here we are about to move into the 2nd half of 2024. The only way is up, right!
Well, that’s except for the current status of our website, which is down 🤣 But hopefully, not for too long.
If you happen to try to visit our website, it’s not there at the moment. All you’ll see is a message to say that the ‘server can’t be found’. This is because we are moving our site AND creating a new look in the process. We are aiming to have a page or two up and running again very soon.
In the meantime, we continue the pause from our photography tour and tuition offerings for a few months more, though we remain contactable by email - so if you are wanting to send a message to us, you’ll find our email address in the about section of our Facebook business profile.
How is your year of photo-taking progressing? We’d love to hear how you’re going and see a photo you’ve created too if you would like to share one or two of your images here.
I created this photo during a little weekend getaway to the Freycinet Peninsula that Roy and I took advantage of having time for in April.

Mesmerised by so much colour!
Lady Aurora put on a fabulous display tonight. Until I can get to processing photos from my main camera, here’s one of a number of iPhone snaps I shot as well.

Says the Grey-Shrike Thrush...
"Ooh thank you Coreena, I'm loving this new bird bath to splash about in!"
During our dry summer (which continues even now, in autumn) I sought out a low-cost birdbath option for our feathered friends. So off to Bunnings I went, and I found some shallow plant bowls that are the perfect size and depth - they were not much more than $15-$20 each if I recall. Proper birdbaths were at the time over $100 each, some even more costly too.
However, each bowl has a drain hole... which of course is not conducive to keeping water in the bath.
The hot dry conditions had me feeling sorry for the birds while I pondered what to do. So, I plugged the holes up with silicone for a speedy and temporary measure. And covered the plugged hole with perching rocks. No harm in trying, right?!
I also remembered an episode of Weekend Birder podcast on the topic of establishing a bird bath. Seasoning a new bird bath to remove the smell of clay or manufacturing and any human aroma helps to make it more appealing to the birds, and all-round more bird-friendly. Let's face it, us humans wouldn't use a bath we didn't like the look or smell of, would we?!
So I 'seasoned' this new bath and an array of small to medium birds found their new bath sooner than I expected and they've been loving it since (well, maybe except for the time when a possum had pooped in it overnight 🙄).
It's a great temporary birdbath option if nothing else.

Explore the great outdoors and photograph nature’s beauty with Shutterbug Walkabouts in Tasmania 🇦🇺
Shutterbug Walkabouts creates, organises and leads tailored photography tours, private photography tuition, weekend photography retreats and outdoor photography workshops for amateur photographers.
Discover, experience and photograph Explore Tasmania’s national parks, nature reserves, World Heritage Wilderness Areas, its heritage and historic sites and more. We’ll take you sightseeing, wildlife spotting and birdwatching and share a narrative about Tasmania along the way. We also impart our photography knowledge and offer guidance to capture unique images not just snapshots. Alternatively, our private photography tuition experiences are a great way start to a self-drive Tasmanian holiday, or as a personalised photography workshop for more comprehensive instruction.
Our aim is for you to become a better photographer Whether you’re new to photography with no prior knowledge or experience, or have some experience but would like to hone your skills and techniques, our aim is for you to become a better photographer. Whatever level you aspire to achieve, we have a range of ready-to-book experiences that you can choose from. But if you’re looking for something a little different, we’ll customise an experience for you.
Shutterbug Walkabouts is owned and operated by Roy and Coreena Vieth. Both have a great deal of knowledge and passion for Tasmania’s natural environment and being nature photographers too, it was a natural progression to start a business that offers an experience to share this knowledge and skill with others.
Roy picked up his first camera when he was just eight years of age and his technical expertise is second to none. While mostly self-taught, his natural talent and ability has shaped him into an acclaimed landscape and nature photographer with many state and national awards for his photographic creativity and image quality. Roy is also an accredited professional photographer with the Australian Institute of Professional Photography so you can be assured of his proven experience and technically capabilities.
Before starting Shutterbug Walkabouts, Roy mentored family, friends and work colleagues who wanted to learn photography. He showed them how to better use their cameras, think about what they were photographing and the settings to use the the best possible photo. He is very patient and is definitely generous about how much knowledge and experience he shares. Roy is our principal photography tutor/mentor for our private photography tuition, weekend retreats and small group workshops.
Coreena has more than 20 years of tour guiding experience, not only in Tasmania but also across Australia. Before the concept of Shutterbug Walkabouts was devised, Coreena often found herself offering guidance to travellers about the photos they were taking while on tour. Her passion for wildlife, the natural environment and history features significantly in all the tours and experiences she leads. Photography has always complemented her interest in travel and exploring the outdoors but after Roy became her photography mentor, her photographic knowledge and skills simply catapulted where they are today. Over the past few years Coreena has received awards that demonstrate her talent to produce images of a professional standard. Coreena leads Shutterbug Walkabouts’ photo-oriented tours - experiences that allow you plenty of time with your camera as you explore the iconic and less-touristy attractions, national parks and historic sites, while learning about all things Tasmanian along the way. Coreena also assists Roy during retreats and workshops as a supporting tutor/mentor.
