A shot on a windblown Ness lake from two weeks ago. I think this has to be the coldest photo shoot I have ever done; it got down to -36C (-33F) and with wind-chill it was below -45C (-49F). The wind picked up significantly when I was out there and I had to abandon the shoot and snowshoe home at about 1 AM. Trudging back alone the wind seemed to be sandblasting my face, the 500m seemed to feel more like 2km, and quite disconcertingly my eyelids started freezing shut at the edges every time I blinked. A little too cold for this Australian. Let’s just say I was glad to get back to our warm house.
A view south over the moonlit oyster covered rocks and city lights in North West Bay at low tide. Stars, clouds and a touch of the Aurora Australis dancing in the background. Howden, Tasmania. Australia.
A lone tree is illuminated by the rising moon over the red soil of Mutawintji National Park. The rugged, mulga-clad Byngnano Range is dissected by colourful gorges, rockpools and creek beds lined with red gums. Mutawintji is an ancient landscape revered by the local Aboriginal people and a perfect spot for seeking some quiet contemplation. Outback New South Wales, eastern Australia.
