A Certain Aura

I’ve always thought Bolla Bollana waterhole on the Arkaroola Creek had a certain aura about it. It is something that is very hard to illustrate. I’ve taken and seen a lot of a few pictures of Bolla Bollana waterhole. A couple of my efforts can be seen here and here but I don’t think I’ve […]

The hills and mountains of the Arkaroola Wilderness Sanctuary, northern Flinders Ranges, South Australia. Perhaps not easily identified as such but indicative of the weather around currently. Canon 20D, 28-300 Canon L series lens, focal length 100 mm. f9 @ 1/80 sec ISO 400 Like a few of the photographs that get posted here, the […]

The man….. calm, focused, in command but patient. The horse….. beautiful, powerful, obedient, enjoying the work. Both linked by the rope. The trainer didn’t know he was being photographed so there was ample time to compose the picture. Canon D20 camers. 28-300 L series lens. Shot at f10 @ 1/200th sec ISO 200, 200mm focal […]

It’s always good to see the last of winter for reasons too long to list here. This photograph isn’t the Flinders ranges or the Outback but the Clare Valley, more famous for it’s wines than canola crops. However it’s all about colour. Bright, prime colours. The track makes for an interesting composition too. Canon 20D, […]

Another of my limited edition prints posted earlier, of the quaintly named Warburton Groove in Lake Eyre North. It was taken in May when water was still flowing into Lake Eyre in vast amounts. However the depth of the water is very shallow and hasn’t covered all the salt. This has enhanced the mirror effect […]

There’s many more Lake Eyre and Coongie Lakes shots but I’m wondering if they are are becoming a little repetitious. Feedback through the comments section please. This was taken in an afternoon shoot. It is similar to the one I selected for the limited edition print run posted a few days ago. Adam, the pilot […]

Full Moon on the Rise

Often the best time to shoot the full moon is the night before. On the eve, the Moon rises a little before the sun goes down so there’s a time when all the late afternoon light is at its best and the moon is already above the horizon. Knowing where the moon is going to […]

The Nepowie Range – an unusual formation partly on the Gammon Ranges National Park, partly on Wooltana Station. Part of the northern Flinders Ranges in the background. A lucky shot after quite a few mornings of dull skies and long drives. The light lasted about five minutes. It is a pity there’s not the facility […]

Sometimes the best views come from the most inaccessible places. The Warraweena Conservation Park in South Australia’s Flinders Ranges has such scenes but not all as hard as this to reach. Shooting landscapes in summer has its rewards and the photography rule of shooting in the early morning or late afternoon isn’t always true. This […]

Many thanks to those people – and there were a lot – who put in submissions to the relevant departments regarding mining on the Arkaroola Wilderness Sanctuary. I believe about 700 submissions in all were received and I think a majority of them were against any sort of mining in the area. However it’s early […]

It doesn’t take much effort to type out a few words and email them to one or both of these two gentleman jason.irving@sa.gov.au or ted.tyne@sa.gov.au to register your view regarding the prospect of uranium mining taking place in the Arkaroola Wilderness Sanctuary. The last day to is next Friday, January 29. My submission went in […]

Here’s a local South Australian icon that’s known to people call over the country and indeed the world. I can only use my photography to make the point that it would be crazy to wreck this amazing country with mining. The time available for making public submissions on the issue has been moved back to […]

Despite the long term drought and the less than hospitable terrain, Yakkas and Spinifex make a beautiful combination. Spinifex, or porcupine bush is something to avoid falling into. The sharp needle-like spears are particularly painful if they penetrate the skin. Tips broken off under the skin take quite a bit of dislodging. However Spinifex is […]

When photographing the northern Flinders Ranges of South Australia it’s a bit hard to ignore Sillers Lookout. It’s visited by about 10,000 people a year. It’s an important tourist attraction which bring lots of tourism dollars to a remote part of Australia and all the businesses along the way. When I was taking this picture […]
