    Small worlds Part I

    Girl and the Deep Blue Sea

    I have discovered a new photographic obsession – somewhat abstract macro photos, recreating the small worlds that exist if only you take the time to look. These photos were taken recently at Uepi, Solomon Islands – as I’m on a steep learning curve with my underwater setup some of them are the result of happy…

    Beneath a wave – Part I

    Girl and the Deep Blue Sea

    As part of my ongoing quest to get a perfect wave photo, I end up with some interesting experimental images! All of these were taken at Cylinder Beach, North Stradbroke Island – clear turquoise waters which are a dream! The first image I am particularly proud of 🙂

    I never truly appreciated the design perfection and vivid colours of sea urchins until recently, when I had a chance to get up close while reef walking on Lady Elliot Island. These photos were taken with an INON macro lens and the last two are cropped images of larger photos. Some of them also appeared…

    Over the Easter break I took the opportunity to get some more pool and flower photographs, this time with some small daisies and cat’s whiskers. The water creates soft textures and interesting swirling effects, and I find using delicate flowers gives the nicest results. I love these two images!

    Girl and the Deep Blue Sea

    I’ve just spent the long weekend up on the Sunshine Coast and visited my regular beach – Mudjimba. Weeks of rough weather have caused a lot of erosion, leaving steep sand cliffs and exposing the most coffee rock I’ve ever seen. The sea shapes the rock into the most unusual forms which makes for some…

    Here are some more photographs from my flower and pool experiments. I particularly like the first one – a darker surreal stillness. I used my macro lens for the second and third photos – it is hard to know what is real and what is a reflection. Would love to know what you think 🙂

    Unfortunately I didn’t go diving over the Xmas break, as the conditions weren’t great. What I did do instead was spend time in my parent’s pool… with my camera… and flowers! Here are some of the results – I will be posting more -would love to know what you think 🙂
