Brindle Creek in the Border Ranges National Park is one of the most impressive rain forest streams in Australia according to wikipedia. Emily and I spent a couple of hours walking through the rain forest, battling the leeches and other creepy crawlies that call this spot home. I had to balance precariously on one of the boulders in the middle of the stream for this composition, but it was well worth it in the end, I feel.
I have had limited internet connection for the last week, and won’t have it back until next week. We’re in the process of moving, so times are quite busy. Thanks to everyone who continues to read this blog, and I will get back to reading all of yours as soon as possible!
The sky was overcast so I thought heading out into the hinterland for some waterfall photos would be a good idea. I packed all my gear quickly and jumped in the car. Initially I was heading out to shoot Twin Falls in Springbrook National Park, but I never made it that far. I found a cool little creek along the way where this photo was taken. I spent an hour or so here walking around, looking for different angles, and waiting for the light to fade.
The next stop was at Natural Bridge where my camera battery ran out after only a couple hours of shooting. The 5D MkII batteries don’t seem to last very long with live view on. I guess I better buy myself a spare or two.

In the last post, I mentioned that the sunset on my first shoot with the 5D MkII was epic. Well, this is it. After rushing down to the beach, we missed a huge double rainbow, but we were still left with this nice golden cloud and sky to shoot.

Darren Tierney and I spent most of yesterday driving up and down the Gold Coast and Northern NSW beaches taking photos. We started at Snapper Rocks in the morning, and made our way down to Byron Bay around lunch time. Mid afternoon came around, and so did a storm front; we thought that sunset was going to be pretty average so we headed back to Darren’s place. Looking out the window about 20 minutes before sunset we noticed a huge double rainbow and some nice light forming over the ocean, so we rushed down to the beach, about 500m from his apartment. Sunset was epic.
The shot below was one of the first, taken at Snapper Rocks. I spent a while waiting for the waves to crash against the rocks trying to get the timing right, while speaking to a man by the name of Brad.
I shot a huge amount of frames, and had a lot of fun messing around with the new camera. This was my first shoot with the Canon 5D MkII and I loved it. More images to come!
