This sunrise shoot was a very cold and fogging morning. I hadn't been to this location before so it was a little tricky to find the break water in the darkness. But eventually there was just enough light to find a good location to shoot. I loved the fog coming off the water and how it softened the colours of the sunrise with a beautiful soft light. It created mood in the images. Balnarring is situated on the Mornington Peninsula, around 10 kilometres south-west of the major c

Thank you to Canon Australia for featuring my image of the sunset at Mount Martha Beach with the boy running past with his dog on their Instagram gallery.

At the request of a client I headed to Mount Martha beach today. I shot a range of images from the golden hour through to sunset. During the evening it was busy on the water with ships passing as they went to and from their destinations. If you look closely you can see one on it's way to Melbourne. There was also quite a few people enjoying the beach at the end of a beautiful autumn day. The first image here of Mount Martha and another image of the Safety Beach Jetty were se

Wow what a sunset tonight at No.16 Beach, Rye. I had a feeling it was going to go off, and I got there just in time after going out for an early dinner. What a colourful backdrop behind the Lizard Rock. Calcarious sandstone cliffs tower above this popular beach which is named after the 16th point on the 11km Lifesaving Track, constructed in the 1890s to provide better access to the coast after two devastating shipwrecks. When you walk along the beach around the headland towar

Tonight I changed my mind at the last minute and decided to head to London Bridge at Portsea for sunset. I set up my tripod at the look out that watches over the London Bridge rock formation and Portsea Back Beach. It was a little bit windy but then again it usually is. This spot is tucked away on the tip of the coast and is one of my favourite spots on the Peninsula. It holds a special place in my heart with so many fond childhood memories from visits during holidays. #Londo

With all the Christmas celebrations over it was time to try out some of my Christmas presents. I headed down to McCrae Beach with my new Crystal Ball to capture the Boxing Day sunset. My Crystal ball also predicts lots of images from the Mornington Peninsula will be coming up over the next few weeks. I love this time of year, getting away and taking time to chill out, and of course lots of time to take photos. #Sunset #McCraeSunset #LongExposure #CrystalBall #Morningtonpenins

Sullivan Bay is scattered with private jetties that stretch out into Port Phillip Bay and it is a popular site for photographers to shoot sunrise and sunset. When I arrived at the jetty on this morning there was already about six photographers set up waiting for the sun to rise. I took a range of shots including some long exposures. Sullivan Bay is the site of Victoria's first white settlement back in 1803. The settlement was located on the eastern point. The two calcarenite

It was a last minute decision to shoot the sunset from the London Beach lookout. at Portsea, I am so glad I made it there in time to capture this sunset. London Bridge is a well known, hollowed out sea stack that can be viewed from a lookout at the end of London Bridge Road. On either side of London Bridge are two high tide platform beaches, backed by 30 to 40 m high calcarenite bluffs and fronted by continuous intertidal rock flats, with reefs further offshore. Waves average

McCrae Beach is found between Dromana and Rosebud on the Mornington Peninsula. I loved shooting this beach because it is a very special place for my family. It is where we have come together as a family for generations to enjoy fun in the sun. It is where we all learn't to swim, build sand castles and play beach cricket. As I have travelled the world I have come to the realisation that we are so lucky in Australia to have the best beaches in the world. I hope you enjoy these

Even though I visited this location to shoot very recently, I was drawn back this day to capture another sunset at Bridgewater Bay, Blairgowrie on the Mornington Peninsula. Sunsets are never the same so I knew my images would be very different from earlier in the week and I was hoping for more colour. This amazing location can be found in the Mornington Peninsula National Park, either side of Koreen Point. St Johns Wood Road runs 2 km straight from Blairgowrie to a car park b

Exploring the amazing seaweed covered rock shelf and rock pools at Gunnamatta Ocean Beach on the Mornington Peninsula. It is the most popular surf beach in the Mornington Peninsula National Park, with consistently high swells and rocky reefs. The long stretch of exposed sandy beach is popular with walkers who can follow the beach east towards Fingal and Cape Schanck, and west towards Boag Rocks. www.morningtonpeninsula.com.au #GunnamattaOceanBeach #Gunamatta #Ocean #Sea #Rock
