I had some idea of the type of photos I wanted to take when I visited Paris but often my favourite shots are the ones that are taken off the cuff.  read more

Another shot taken while strolling down Main Beach on the Gold Coast last Saturday. The lighting was just right so I took a sneaky pic! read more

This weekend was the annual work weekend away. It was held at the Sheraton Mirage Resort & Spa on the Gold Coast. We've stayed there a few times now, including last Xmas. That was unusual - waking up Christmas Day in an hotel. Not sure it's an experience we want to repeat, the place was packed. … read more

Le Roof Restaurant, Noumea, New Caledonia. Unfortunately we didn't have time to stop and eat here but it certainly looks interesting. read more

During our visit to Port Vila, Vanuatu, we took a full-day tour around the island (Efate). After meeting the Melanesian warriors in the morning we went for lunch at this beach. The weather by then was getting worse by the minute. I just managed to get a few shots in before the rain started, and … read more

On our recent cruise around the Pacific islands we docked at Port Vila, Vanuatu, and took a trip round the island of Efate. In this photo the Melanesian tribesman show off their traditional ways during a cultural visit to their village in the lush rain forests. read more

This is the first of a few pics I'm posting from our short trip out into the Pacific onboard the P&O cruise liner Pacific Dawn. The engines are running as the ship gets ready to depart Noumea, the capital city of New Caledonia. We only had a few hours in Noumea - enough to take a 'highlights' tour. … read more

This was taken on a busy Saturday night at the popular Riverside precinct in Brisbane. A little bit of photoshop magic and the people disappear! read more

This is another shot taken looking across Somerset Lake. It was one of those days when the earth seemed to be spinning faster than usual causing the clouds to pull on the landscape. read more

Each night Brisbane's iconic Story Bridge is lit up in various colours. Sometimes the colours match a theme, such as green on St Patrick's Day. Not sure what the pink is supposed to represent? read more

Another shot of sunset over Raby Bay. It may not have the long sweeping beaches of the Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast but it does have its own particular beauty. read more

The lights shine and the streets bustle in the Tsim Sha Tsui district of Hong Kong. read more

At Buckingham Palace, the Changing of the Guard ceremony takes place at 11.30 am daily from May to July, and on alternate dates throughout the rest of the year. When we last visited London it was September and we had just managed to finish a tour inside Buckingham Palace in time to catch the end of … read more

Another shot from last weekend's visit to Lake Wivenhoe and Lake Somerset. Myself and Lauren went for a swim here at Lake Somerset. It's been a long time since I've swam in a lake. I forgot how different it is to swimming in the sea. Besides the obvious (lack of salt), putting your foot down was … read more

On Saturday we took a drive west of Brisbane to Lake Wivenhoe and Lake Somerset - a main source of Brisbane's drinking water. This shot was taken sitting on the banks of Lake Somerset looking across to the Somerset Dam. Australia is not just about beaches. The diversity in landscapes is … read more

The retreating storm leaves debris on the ground and drama in the sky. This shot was taken a couple of weeks ago from my local park. read more

When I first started working in the Brisbane CBD and Rachelle worked near Bulimba, I used to drop Rach off at work and then catch the CityCat ferry service in from Bulimba getting off at Riverside in the city. It wasn't a bad way to start each day! As the CityCat glides effortlessly down the river … read more

They say a picture paints a thousand words but I've no idea how long this yacht has been capsized off Raby Bay Foreshore Park in Cleveland, or what the circumstances were to cause its demise. read more

Another shot from our short stay in Paris. I took this standing on top of the Notre-Dame Cathedral peering through the cage, casting my eyes over Paris as the clouds and rain bear down. read more
