17 May 2019 – With a planned itinerary packed full of activities and good weather forecasted, things were certainly looking up for our weekend photography trip to Port Stephens. Our first stop was at Long Jetty, a suburb located just past The Entrance. We arrived just before sunset and spent a little time scouting around…
19 November 2018 – They say that once you learn how to ride a bike, you never forget. Now I’m sure the same can be said about learning to shoot landscapes, though on this one occasion it certainly felt as if I was back on my training wheels! It was late afternoon when we arrived…
May 2018 – For many, the vibrant, colourful facades lined along Nyhavn’s waterfront is likely the first image that springs to mind at the mention of Copenhagen. Well, that and the Little Mermaid statue (which we did not end up seeing during our time in the city). Appearing on countless postcards, the buildings are undeniably…
May 2018 – The city of Copenhagen was the last stop on our visit to Europe in May, and perhaps the least planned part of our itinerary. There was no set ‘things to do, places to see’ list for our entire four days here, which in many ways made it all the more relaxing. I…
May 2018 – The following post is a collection of street shots taken in the district of Tsim Sha Tsui, on the Kowloon side of Hong Kong. As you can probably tell from the title, I ended up with quite a number featuring people on their phones (unintentionally, though quite easy to do in a…
20 April 2016 – After a fourteen hour flight onboard Emirates from Sydney to Dubai and a further eight hours from Dubai to London (following a two hour stopover), it was a great relief to finally arrive at Heathrow Airport. While our initial plan was to rest after the plane ride, I figured it was too…
Knowing how long it takes for me to write a regular blog post, I thought I’d instead share a shorter one featuring some highlights from last month’s trip abroad to Hong Kong and Europe. It was an absolute privilege to be able to visit the port cities shown below, and to see (as well as…
26 January 2018 – Having arrived in Adelaide just a couple of hours ahead of the scheduled start of the Australia Day fireworks, my wife and I decided to head straight out to Elder Park, one of the main vantage points in the city for the light show. However, it turned out that the location…
The idea of a fire breathing, dragon-shaped bridge might seem like something out of a science fiction and fantasy novel, but somehow it all seems to makes sense in Da Nang. The port city, located on the east coast of central Vietnam, has seen significant economic development as well as growth in the number of…
3 May 2016 – Following an eventful hike up to see the Old Man of Storr, my wife and I headed out to the next destination on our list – the Fairy Pools of Skye. Located at the base of the Cuillin Mountains, the pools are a popular attraction for walkers as well as photographers. The…
