An amateur photographer living on Bundjalung land in Australia, taking the odd shot and shots that are odd.
Olympus OMD EM5 III and Olympus lenses.
Sometimes Olympus TG6.
Sometimes my mobile phone.
I may, or may not answer DMs.

Gundagai, NSW, Australia. An old town by Australian standards, now bypassed by a modern highway and with its local rail links gone, it is a quiet stopover. It is immortalised in a poem about a faithful dog. #australia

Paddy's River Falls, NSW, Australia. Which do you prefer? The captured instant, or the long exposure? In this setting, I think the frozen moment in time is better than the long exposure. Feel free to comment. #waterfalls #landscape #longexposure #australia

Khancoban Pondage looking towards the Snowy Mountains. Yes, Australia does have mountains, but they are not very high, and we have snow, quite a lot of it in a good season. #australia #snowymountains

A new photography genre for me, low light indoors. Opening acts at the Mountaingrass bluegrass festival in Bright, Vic. #bluegrass #performers #musicians

"Just give me sunshine through the autumn, sweet snow to the spring,
corn by the water of an old mill stream, and you give me all, you give me all." Simple Ben, Morning of the Earth soundtrack.

Such a privilege to capture these two sleepy heads in the wild. Koalas are a critically endangered species. #Australia #koalas #fauna

Travelling through rural and outback Australia, we see many small towns where the doors tell the story of better times. Peak Hill enjoyed good times thanks to gold, but the mine has closed, and the people who gave businesses life have moved on. #australia
