I set my alarm well before first light on what would be my final morning in Port Macquarie. The drive up to Tacking Point was quiet and dark. I had been to this lighthouse many times during my stay and yet arriving in the cold pre-dawn still felt like something sacred. The light inside the building glowed through its narrow window and cast a soft warmth across the wet ground. I stood there in the stillness and just breathed it all in. As the sky began to shift from deep purpl

After leaving Gostwyck Chapel I made my way into Armidale to catch the last of the day. The sun was already sinking fast so I got the drone up right away. From above the town looked like a painting. Red and gold trees lined every street. The cathedral roofs glowed in the soft evening light. It was the kind of view that made me glad I rushed to get there in time. Once the drone came down I stayed on for the twilight. The old brick churches looked even better in the deep blue h

Some places earn their reputation. All Saints Anglican Chapel at Gostwyck is firmly one of them. It sits just a short drive south of Armidale near Uralla. The tiny brick chapel waits at the end of a long avenue of elms and looks like something lifted out of a postcard. Boston ivy climbs its walls in deep crimson. The elms burn gold against the New England sky. The drive in alone is half the experience. That avenue feels almost ceremonial. It's a long golden tunnel that funnel

After a magical golden hour shoot at Trial Bay Gaol, I rolled into Port Macquarie just in time to check into the hotel, throw my bags down, and wolf down a quick dinner. There was no time to linger. The Milky Way was already on the rise, and I had a narrow window before the 81% moon climbed up at 9:30pm and washed the entire night sky in its silvery glow. Tacking Point Lighthouse had been on my shortlist for ages, and tonight was the night. I grabbed the camera bag, hopped ba

Sometimes the best travel moments are the unplanned ones. On my way to Port Macquarie for a four-day stay, I made a quick detour to Trial Bay Gaol and wow, am I glad I did. I scrambled up to the nearest high point, threw my drone in the air, and had just enough time to catch the last light of the day fading over the coast. Golden hour waits for no one, but this time it played nicely! Trial Bay Gaol sits on a dramatic headland in Arakoon National Park, where crashing waves mee

I’ve never considered myself a professional photographer. It’s just a hobby and one I enjoy without worrying too much about rules or techniques. Most days, I shoot when the mood strikes, and today was one of those days. Bored from writing reports all day, I grabbed my camera and decided to experiment with light. I wanted to see how it behaves under different ISO and shutter speed settings. I needed a subject that could really showcase the contrast, and what better than a lig

The Milky Way season is almost over, so I went location hunting last Saturday. I decided to checkout Coolum Beach Boardwalk as I had planned to shoot here last year but didn't quite make it. I grabbed some sunset shots on Saturday but due to time constraints I decided to come back another night for the Milky Way. I thought of giving it a go tonight. Even though I knew there might be cloud cover tonight, I decided to head out and give it a go anyway. I managed to get a few M
