Last night I met up with a fellow Gold Coast photographer, by the name of Darren Tierney, to shoot Tallebudgera. Initially I thought the light was pretty average, but all of a sudden the sky began glowing with pink and orange hues, and faded out shortly after. We managed to get a couple of photos we were happy with, and this is one of mine.
Tallebudgera, Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.
This is an old photo from my archives that I have just found and processed. I’m not sure why I passed over it the first time around because I really like it. Very little has been done to this image in post as it was pretty much perfect straight from the camera.

Curtis Falls is probably the most popular waterfall on Mount Tamborine in the Gold Coast hinterland. I know I’ve shot here a whole heap of times, at least. I was up early this morning and decided to head out to Mount Tamborine and re-shoot the waterfall.
I decided to go for an unconventional composition with this one and have the waterfall in the centre of frame, and focus on the lower half of the falls. I’ve shot Curtis Falls so many times, I think I just wanted to try something different. The recent rainfall and flooding around the Gold Coast has pushed the huge log that sits in front of the falls right around, so I climbed out onto it instead of staying behind the barriers. This allowed me to shoot from a slightly different angle, and to get a lot closer and focus on capturing a bit more detail.
7 photos stitched. Each frame is 4 sec @ f/20 and ISO50.

I spent a morning out in the Gold Coast hinterland a couple of weekends back while I was waiting for my girlfriend to finish work. It was quite an overcast morning, but still extremely hot, and shortly after I took this sequence of shots it started raining. Anyway, I had spent an hour or so wandering around already so decided to pack up. I ended up with this 7 shot stitch.
The colours in this photo just didn’t seem ‘right’ to me, so I converted to black and white obviously.
