Welcome Everybody

Hello - Welcome. The purpose of this site is to document my experiences photographing wildlife and nature throughout Australia and abroad.  I hope you find the content interesting and educational, and the images  cause you to reflect on how important it is preserve natural places and their inhabitants.

All wildife has been photographed in the wild and animals are NOT captive or living in enclosures.

For me photography of the natural world is more than just pretty settings and cuddly animal photos. It's a concern for the environment and the earth all living creatures must share.

Note that images appearing in journal posts are often not optimally processed due to time constraints.

You are welcome to comment on any post.

Sonoma Coast State Beach, California

Before heading east to the Sierras and the arid region a quick stop was made at Sonoma Coast State Beach.

This region of northern California has to be witnessed to be believed. Massive ocean going swells generated from the Pacific Ocean roll into shallow water and dissipate their power onto the rocky headlands, offshore rocks and beach. The power of these waves is awesome with some wave sets reaching 5 meters in height.

Unless your here in the very early or late afternoon to capture images at the prime time, you will definitely require a polarizing and/or neutral density filter if you intend to try and slow the shutter speed to such as extent that the water will flow across your image giving a ghostly appearance.
