Tekapo by Night - SAVE 15% during February on all varieties and sizes.

Tekapo is a stunning part of New Zealand and a must-stop every time I'm in the South Island. This is an image that I previsualised before arriving in Tekapo, but didn't actually hold out much hope of being able to create it. I was only there for one night and the day leading up to this was quite overcast. Also, being the middle of summer, this isn't a great time of year for capturing the Milky Way in the Southern Hemisphere. In winter months, the core would be much higher, and the result would be a much denser Milky Way.

In hindsight, I think this was the perfect night for this shot. If the Milky Way had been more dense, it would have fought with the Church for the viewer's attention and drawn away from the focus of the image... which of course, is this beautifully picturesque church.

Turquoise Swell

travelimage.com.au/product/turquoise-swell

Shelly Beach in Ballina, NSW is home to some wonderful rock pools that delight children with the many species of sea life that inhabit them. Carved in between the rock formations is a small wading pool that is also a hit with the kids. I remember splashing around in that very pool when I was a child, many, many moons ago. This image was captured just behind the pool.

I arrived here well before sunrise and had to navigate the rocks by torchlight. The torch was also the only way to focus my camera in such low light. The images I captured before this one were very long exposures that smoothed the ocean and started painting the sky with colour, before it was visible to the naked eye. As the sun rose closer to the horizon, the sky lit up and the face of the oncoming waves took on a gorgeous turquoise hue.

This image is a one-second exposure that captures the movement of the ocean in such a way that on close inspection, looks more like an oil painting than a photograph.

Florence Cityscape

travelimage.com.au/product/florence-cityscape

Florence is such a beautiful city, absolutely busting at the seams with history. Art, architecture, museums and cathedrals… this place has it all. At the time we had booked to be in Florence, it had even more than we expected. When we arrived, we soon realised that we had checked in at the start of a long weekend. As such, the city was crammed with tens of thousands of extra bodies, making it almost impossible to visit many of the sites, without having to wait hours in queues.

We spent our first evening in Florence and then decided to get out of the city and spend a little extra time in Tuscany. The open road, small villages and smaller crowds are definitely more our scene. This cityscape was shot on the one evening we did spend in Florence.

I arrived at Piazzale Michelangelo almost two hours before dusk, with the intention of spending some time wandering the surrounding parklands before setting up for the sunset shoot. With the swollen number of crowds in the city and skies set to deliver a gorgeous show of colour, it soon became obvious that if I wanted to capture the city at sunset, I would need to grab a spot soon or I would miss out. So at about ninety minutes before the light would be right for the optimal shot, I staked my claim along the crowded guardrail and waited.

The masses continued to build as nightfall approached and looking back over my shoulder, the scenes were reminiscent of historical images of crowds during Beatlemania in the 60s. It was quite a sight.

The end of the day came, the skies lit up, as did the city of Florence and all onlookers were rewarded with a beautiful vista of the city under gorgeous colour.

I imagine there are very few people who have passed across Ponte dell'Accademia in Venice and not taken an image of this view. The outlook is stunning and just beckons to be captured. And I'm sure almost every shot ever taken here would be lovely. The only way for me to try to capture something unique was to wait for some sort of interaction from the boats and gondolas on the canal. I couldn't say just how long I stood waiting for the right moment, but when this boat made it's way towards the bridge in just the right spot, with it's wake creating a leading line that joined with the structures on the left of the canal, I was a very happy photographer indeed.
