Seascape of Collaroy Beach, Australia

It has been high tide at sunrise for a while and not conducive to a good photo so we were pleased to finally be out shooting again. With the tide receding and a decent amount of wind creating some nice movement in the water and a dramatic sky, all the elements came together.

Black and white Seascape of Collaroy Beach, Australia

I've only shot at Collaroy once before so not familiar with its nuances. I had to quickly look around for interesting possibilities and there were a few. I stop and watch the way the waves move around and over the rocks then look for a position to stand. Sometimes this means I get wet, which I did today. I come prepared for that. You do what it takes.

A munching Wallaby and Jacky Lizard

-

  A bit of a warm one at 36 degrees but always lovely in the bush. It was a bit warm for the birds but the reptiles and mammals were loving it.  I came across a Swamp Wallaby having a munch of dinner. Curious at first, he went on unperturbed, offering me the occasional glance. It fascinates me how curious these little ones are. A Jacky Lizard watches me from his overhanging rock as I observe his curious behaviour. A wonderful specimen of Water Dragon rests on the tree catching the last of suns warmth. Drying his wings after a recent dive for his dinner. Which reminds me, it's time for my dinner. THE AUTHOR As it does, life took a devastating sideways turn for me. With fierce determination, I quit my teaching job, shut down my photography business, packed up my apartment, hired an agent and rented it out on Airbnb, bought a ticket to London and embarked on an adventure of discovery, both about the world and myself. I’ve learned a great deal about people, places and myself. I’m happy

Albania - How On Earth Did I End Up Here?

 Albania has happened purely by circumstance.  As I have with this entire journey, I've let the universe decide on my itinerary, so when I met Lisa in Morzine, France and she asked me to come with her to Albania, of course, I said yes. This is her little stone house on top of the hill in Qeparo (pronounced Chipero). It is actually not small at all in terms of Albanian homes. At least 10 people would live here ordinarily but we have the place to ourselves. It is quite the hike to get here and not for the faint-hearted. The house sits 600 metres on the top of the hill. You can only park a little way down the hill and then navigate through tiny alleyways over cobbled paths to get here. Not too big a deal unless you are carrying heavy bags or groceries, which we have on a number of occasions.  You can't complain really because the view to the sea is stunning and worth every step and almost twisted ankle. 😂 Where is Albania anyway? Nestled in the Balkans between Italy and Greece wi

Changing of The Guard at Buckingham Palace

Image
  This was my first ever Changing of The Guard so I didn't know what to expect. As always, I didn't stress about not getting any shots. I used this as a sort of reconnaissance mission and if I was lucky to see anything, then all good. Now that I've been, I believe that I had a pretty good plan. I was in fabulous spots to get the best view of the Changing of The Guard ceremony in order to capture images that tell the story. I think the photos speak for themselves but I'll let you be the judge. What Is The Changing of The Guard? Soldiers are on duty at Buckingham Palace for two days. The Changing of The Guard is a ceremony where the Old Guard hands over to the New Guard on the grounds of Buckingham Palace.  Best Place To See The Changing of The Guard That really depends on what you want to see because it actually happens in three locations. A contingent of the old guard leaves from St James Palace and the new guard from Wellington Barracks. They both arrive together at Bu
