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.

Wildlife Photography

Wildlife Photography is not about stopping your vehicle and pointing your lens out of the window in the hope of photographing an animal. Sure, sometimes luck is on your side and this indeed does happen. But, for the most part every trip requires a lot of logistical planing, forethought, patience, skill, and the most important variable - luck.

After arriving at my location, I drove along the access track seeking possible areas that yellow foots would use to migrate down from the cliffs. Then, it's time to get out of the four wheel drive and inspect the sites more closely on foot. I am looking for prints and scats which indicate what animals have used the area, and how long ago they were here. Luck was on my side, for after spending an hour or so scouting I discovered fresh markings and scats.
