    What a lady 

    After a much too long five year hiatus, I finally got to revisit one of the most wonderful places- Lady Elliot Island. My previous trip was in spring, this time I experienced the island in all her winter glory. Just as beautiful as ever, Lady Elliot is truly a coral island paradise. Here are some…

    35mm

    About 15 years ago my travel bug started, and with it the desire to take photographs. At that time the best choice for photography was an SLR film camera, and I learnt about things like aperture and shutter speed by using slide film. It was not so expensive then! My introduction to the world of digital…

    Rapid Bay Jetty

    After diving at Bluff Reserve to see the leafy sea dragons, we drove across the Fleurieu Peninsular to our second dive site, Rapid Bay Jetty. I was really excited about this dive as I have never dived a jetty before and love seeing interesting structures underwater. The day was stunning and the sea was like…

    Leafy Sea Dragons!

    One marine creature I have always wanted to see is the Leafy Sea Dragon. In December I had a free day while visiting Adelaide so organised a couple of dives with Diving Adelaide to see what this part of Australia was like underwater! I can say it surpassed all expectations – the first dive of the…

    Coffin Bay National Park

    I visited Coffin Bay National Park in South Australia earlier this year and was in awe of the scenery and the hyperreal coastal colours – it is a truly beautiful destination and also fantastic for wildlife.

    Croatia

    As well as visiting Greece, I also spent time in Croatia which abounded in natural beauty. The second and third images are of the famous Blue Hole near the island of Vis – you almost need to wear sunnies as the water glows so brightly with the most incredible fluorescent blue! And of course I…

    Greece

    In October last year I was lucky enough to travel to Greece and experience the famous clear waters of the Aegean Sea first hand. I was not disappointed! A palette of blue, green and white withs hints of gold filled my vision both above and below the water.

    Destination Report: Lady Elliot Island

    From the moment I caught a glimpse of the turquoise waters and white sand I knew it was going to be a great week! My friend and I decided to use our precious annual leave on a trip to Lady Elliot Island, which is part of the Capricorn and Bunker group of islands in the…

    In both worlds

    Half-and-half photos are so challenging! This photo was literally the third photo I took with my underwater set-up – it seems the stars aligned and the water droplets stayed away (!) and I got a photo I really love and whenever I look at it, it reminds me of how magical it can be out…
