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.
Burleigh Heads, Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia
I had been waiting for a nice overcast morning to shoot some of the farmland just out past Canungra for a while now, and this particular morning presented the perfect opportunity. There had been a lot of rain the few days preceding this one, so there was a LOT of water around, and some low cloud hovering in and around the mountains.
This is a 7 photo stitch and there is a lot of detail in the high resolution copy of this photograph. You can even see a bunch of Kookaburras sitting in the lone tree on the lower right of the scene when viewed at full size.
Canungra, Queensland, Australia.
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’ve just been digging through some old files and I came across this photo I shot before a pretty stormy night in Perth a couple of years back. I reprocessed it and am really happy with the way it has turned out.
Perth, Western Australia.
