What you see before you is a gallery of Australian Landscapes that I have come across over the years.
Being a self-taught digital photographer, I am continuously learning my way around a camera and focusing my passion on panoramic photographic art.
The majority of pieces are taken while exploring tourist tracks in search of that magnificent vista. As I experienced it, the beauty, tranquility, the calm and the wild and the magic of the light... hopefully my panoramas capture you in the same way.

The falls were bursting the day this photo was taken. The force of the water was blowing a wind through the ferns sending them everywhere.
This shot was stitched together using 9 vertical frames, each time turning the camera away to wipe the water from the lens. I got soaked. Check out the video below...
6am sun rise, standing by my tripod shaking from the freezing cold morning, constantly wiping the fog from my filters. As the sun started to show, you could feel the drop in temperature, and as the sun's rays reached over the cradle, the mist across Dove Lake was burning away.
Stacking my lens with filters, I attempted to correct the contrast in the sky against the reflection of the boat house. 45sec exposure and quick check of the histogram, I was sure I had a keeper from Cradle Mountain.
Phillip Island has many great attractions for photography. These are the Pinnacles, tucked away behind coastal cliffs and a little out of the general public view.
A decent walk along the beach and climbing down a steep cliff face brings you to this rocky little cove. The sky lacked drama on the day, but the colors were nice.
