Photography

Photography has long been an enjoyable interest and pass time. While I consider myself an amateur, occasionally I pull off a decent shot. I share a collection of my photographic experiments, successes, discoveries and light bulb moments on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/the.redlog

There’s something very relaxing and calming about a beach. Nature’s beauty on full display with the constant sounds of crashing waves cutting through any stress or anxiety you might be carrying. This is Bells Beach near Torquay in Victoria. One of Australia’s most famous surf beaches. #theredlog #photography #australia #victoria #bellsbeach #calm #coast #littlebitdifferent Sometimes a silhouette captures the mood just right. I was fortune to get away recently for a much needed break and theres something ever so relaxing about palm trees, the ocean and a pending sunset. #theredlog #photography #portdouglas #queensland #australia #sunset #beach #holiday #palmtrees #relax #peaceful One of the great characteristics of Melbourne is the many laneways. There’s lots of little hidden gems to discover and take photos of. #theredlog #photography #melbourne #laneway #city #moody #dark #discover #explore #australia While there’s often much beauty in unity and uniformity, sometimes it’s important to embrace your individuality and stand out from the crowd. #flowers #theredlog #photography #tulips #australia #melbourne #dandenongranges #tesselaartulipfestival #yellow #whote #purple In somewhat of a departure from my usual photographic expeditions I took a step out of my comfort zone today and participated in a City photography walking tour which was more focused on buildings and people than my usual nature, wildlife and landscapes. Whale Rock is found in my favourite place on the planet- Wilsons Promontory National Park. I’m surprised whoever named it didn’t call it Moby Dick. Still… it’s been a favourite feature of the park since I was a child. How do you turn a whale into stone? 🐳. #theredlog #victoria #australia #theprom #wilsonspromontory #nationalpark #whale #rocks #gippsland #tidalriver #winter #raining Here’s a fresh shot I took earlier today. I always find it very convenient when wildlife pose for you. It provides the opportunity to take your time and increases the chances of a great photo. #theredlog #photography #seawindsgardens #morningtonpeninsula #victoria #australia #kangaroo #nature #wildlife I love taking photos of vibrant and bold colour in nature. I couldn’t resist these Tulips in Melbourne in early April. #theredlog #melbourne #victoria #australia #flower #tulips #mifgs2023 #boldandbeautiful #photography Seasons bring vibrancy and variation and while it's nearly coming to the end of Rose season, I'm reminded that there's purpose in the end of such beautiful and vibrant colour. As the beautiful blossoms finish their spectacular show, Winter sets in and Roses go dormant. It's time to store energy and prepare for the next Spring seasons show. As much as I love taking rose photos in Spring, I also value the importance of the season of rest required to create such beauty once the amazing colour display is gone. The added bonus is knowing there's great things ahead to look forward to.
