Here I am in the West MacDonnell ranges using
the Cruiser as a camera platform. Photo by Kevin
Keldson.
And here's the multi-shot panorama I took from
the roof.
Photographing a bug on a tree trunk. I have the
Canon MT-24EX dual macro flash mounted on the
lens, and a remote flash mounted on a Benbo tripod
to provide some backlight. Photo by Phillip Damiano.
The
climb up Uluru (Ayres Rock) is demanding
but well worth it. This photo was taken at
about the halfway mark by a tourist. Most
people rush to the top, take a quick photo,
then rush down. What a waste, I spent hours
exploring the gullies, furrows and rock overhangs.
Finally I was driven down by my stomach, I
was starving.
In
the background you can see Kata Tjuta
(The Olgas).
In
Dec '03 Glen
Turvey and I spent a few days in at Cape
Raoul and Shipstern Bluff. Glen took this
photo of me keeping a safe distance back from
the edge of the 200m cliff at Cape Raoul.
In
Nov '03 several photographers and writers
were invited to record the Tarkine Wilderness
for a book produced by the WWF. We spent two
weeks camping in the bush in the rain and
cold. But the results were worth it. Glen
Turvey and I were the only two photographers
to stay the whole two weeks, mostly because
we were the only two with nothing else to
do :-) That's me sitting around the campfire
at the top, in the red jacket in the middle
photo, and nursing my tired feet in the bottom
photo. Photos by Glen
Turvey.

April
2002, we were camped at Carnarvon Gorge and
I decided to spend a couple of days up on
Battleship Spur. This shot was taken on the
way back down the spur, I was too knackered
to take any photos on the way up.
This
shot was taken in November 1998 by Rod Nazer
while several of us were sitting on top of
Mt Townsend. David Houlder and I had been
out for a day camping on Muellers Peak. We
moved camp to a great spot just below Mt Townsend
then I returned to Townsend to meet our friends
who came a day later.
Just
for fun. This characature was drawn by a local
artist, I used it on my promo material
for a while.
Here
I am standing on "The Grandstand"
in the early morning taking a photo. Between
me and the sunlit mountain in the background
is Lady Northcote's Canyon, a very steep gorge
that falls over a kilometre to the Geehi Valley.
Note that I'm following rule #1 for the token-human-in-landscape,
ie. always wear red. This image was taken
by Liz Poon, Liz is a very accomplished photographer
who mostly uses a panoramic camera.
Making
a fashion statement at the top of Lady Northcote's
canyon. In the mountains I often wear my thermals
'on the outside' as it were. If it's sunny
they shield me from the UV and if the weather
closes in they're warm. Next to me is David
Houlder, fellow large-format photographer
and bushwalker.This photo by Tyson Sadlo.
There's
an American woman walking around the world.
She spent some time in Canberra preparing
for the 12-year trip and while here she saw
my photos on display and got in touch. Almitra
is her name and she took this portrait while
we chatted over a few beers.
Every
november a group of us spend a weekend in
a Thredbo lodge. The idea is to take photographs
of the mountains but as often as not we just
hang out at the lodge, chat and enjoy the
company. This shot was taken by Rod Nazer
during a brief excursion to the Merritts Nature
Trail.
