It’s been a while since a new image was posted here. Not from want of trying. Too much time on the road, three projects that have taken up a lot of time, have produced only a small number of images and are not finished yet are the reasons. However there have been some small changes […]

The Oratunga Gorge

As often happens in the Flinders Ranges, the morning can see a bank of cloud over the eastern ranges while there’s clear skies to the west. There is a sharp contrast from the previous post but not much time between the two photos. The cloud bank is most obvious though. It’s taken from the same […]

Running Water

I’d never taken the trouble to explore this area before. It’s between the Glass Gorge Road and the Parachilna Gorge in the central Flinders Ranges. Rugged country and certainly some grand views of the Heysen Range in the background…….a typical Flinders Ranges scene. However it was the little glimpse of water that caught the eye. […]

Along the Parachilna Creek

A simple scene, yet one that I find quite interesting, mostly because of the light falling across this bend in the Parachilna Creek . Of late I have become aware of many landscape photos that are a composite of two or more images which have been worked in Photoshop to the point where they look […]

The fading daylight along the Parachilna Creek as it reaches the western plains. Incredibly wide, vast quantities of water occasionally rocket down this stream. To give you an idea there’s a coupe of pictures here that show the Parachilna Creek in full flood. The River Red Gum in the foreground is roughly halfway between the […]

It was the sun on the hill in the middle distance that caught my eye while walking in the Parachilna Gorge. The 50 mm Canon prime lens did the rest. f14, 1/40th sec ISO 200

Outback Floodwaters

While most of the creeks and rivers in the FLinders Ranges and the surrounding Outback are now just gently flowing streams, a last chance to show the full force of the recent floods. Again the Parachilna Creek in the northern Flinders Ranges. Interestingly, while clambering down the slippery banks of the creek to get these […]

Running Rivers

This has been a pretty common sight in the Flinders Ranges and Outback in recent days. Outback floods, fast running creeks and rivers don’t get seen by a lot of people when they are at their most spectacular, mainly because roads are cut by the flood waters too. This is the Parachilna Creek and about […]

Blue Skies

Seemingly endless blue skies can pose a real problem for landscape photographers. Those acres of blue can take up a serious amount of a photograph and to put it bluntly, stuff up a good scene. Here is one solution to the problem which you start looking for when day after day the skies above remain […]
