This month we headed down to Canberra to attend a workshop. Seizing the opportunity of a road trip we put the car into camping mode and headed off for ten days, leaving the dogs, llamas, fish and everything else in the capable hands of our friend and house-sitter, Barb. We went down the coastal way and back via the Blue Mountains and the New England Highway. As usual there wasn’t enough time to explore and photograph as thoroughly as we’d like but its given us some great ideas and inspiration for future trips! Below are some of our favourite photos from the trip. Hope you enjoy them!

We’ve been so fortunate to live with this amazing view of Mount Warning for 11 years now. Sometimes we take it for granted, at others it takes our breath away. Here are a few recent moments that we’ve captured over many different times of day. Looking out over the hushed valley as the moon sets is definitely an unforgettable experience. We will also be redoing our stock photography section of our photo cart soon as we hope to share these photos and all this beauty with a wider audience.

We’ve been putting more emphasis on our commercial photography recently and have been rewarded with some very enjoyable commercial jobs. One was for Dreamspace, a local company who import their own designs in mosquito nets, bed canopies and silk sheets and quilts. All lovely stuff to photograph, great people to work with and a beautiful setting looking out over the caldera, even though it was a wet day. If you’d like to know more about these beautiful products just go to Dreamspace or Mosquito Nets. Here are a few images from the shoot:

Has it really been so long? I guess that I put so much up on Facebook and our Portrait and Weddings blog, plus my recent obsession with Pinterest, that oh dear, I’ve neglected this blog! Well here are a few photos from a trip out to visit our lovely friends, Lyndon and Beth who live at Woodenbong (yes, what a name for a town!). We woke to a thick mist that gradually lifted to reveal all sorts of treasures. Here are a few favourites. I ‘m quite pleased with the classic mustering shot!
