Woodman Point Jetty, busy with fisherman and Pelicans.
These two pelicans were hoping for a free feed, but unfortunately the fish weren’t coming to the party!

For this shot I thought I’d try a different composition – too many of landscape my shots are in landscape orientation!

On the weekend I ventured down to the Swan River, and found a dozen Australian Pelicans. This guy had just leapt out of the water, beginning his search for some mid-morning breakfast.

The Australian Pelican is a fascinating bird, which claims to have the longest bill of any living bird.
Commonly having a wingspan of 2.3-2.6 metres, these birds glide through the air almost effortlessly.
Location: Swan River, Perth, Western Australia

I am constantly surprised by the beauty I see while riding my bike along the Swan River through South Perth and Kings Park!
Family. Fun. Fish.
The 3 words that describe my Easter long weekend at Rottnest Island!
All photos were taken using my Nexus 5 mobile phone. I decided to leave my DSLR at home given the amount of rough water, salt and sand at the island.
On a recent drive across Australia, I stopped at the Blue Lake, in Mount Gambier, South Australia.
This fascinating landmark is located inside an inactive volcano.
Each year, the lake completely changes colour to a fantastic turquoise blue.
Amazingly, this lake serves as the main water supply for the town of Mount Gambier.

A Big Stopper 10 stop ND filter (and tripod) was used to achieve a 57 second exposure.
Last month the world-renound RMS Queen Mary 2 luxury cruise ship visited Fremantle Harbour.
This modern engineering feat is a massive 354m long, 72m tall, and weighs almost 150,000 Tonnes.
After staying for several days, the ship departed, with a crowd of several thousand people wishing it a safe journey.
This photo was taken from the rocks of Fremantle Harbour’s north mole.
I’ll never forget the loud sound of the ship’s fog horn!
Last night I attended the Williamstown City View photography walk by DJB Photography.
I had a great time meeting new people and experimenting with my camera’s manual mode.
Below are my favourite shots:
Thanks very much to Claire for showing us the sights of Williamstown!
Update 28/6/2013: The official photos from this walk have just been posted on the DJB Photography Blog, so be sure to check them out too!
Last weekend I visited Yarrawonga, staying in a house that overlooked Lake Mulwala.
Throughout the weekend I experimented with my new Big Stopper filter, which allowed a 26 second exposure time to capture this shot during a morning sunrise.
Overall I’m very happy with the Big Stopper, which is a 10 stop ND filter.
Location: Lake Mulwala, Victoria, Australia
Last month I visited Busselton in Western Australia with my family. We stayed at a house that was only metres from Geographe Bay.
I did plenty of relaxing, whild dad and my brother threw in a line while the sun set in the evening.

This photo of Berth number 5 on Melbourne’s North Wharf was taken on a recent walk along the Yarra River.
It was early morning (just after sunrise), which gives the photo a nice warn glow.
This location is heritage listed. You can view more details in the Victorian Heritage Database.
Last night I attended the first of three photography workshops by DJB Photography.
We explored Southbank, Hardware Lane, and a few other parts of the Melbourne CBD.
It was the first time I’ve attempted to shoot all my photos in manual mode.
Here’s a selection of shots that turned out ok:
