Well the 2009 Worldwide Photo Walk is underway and the Hobart one has just wrapped up! Quite a decent turn out, about 20 of us took a walk from Molle St up the Hobart Rivulet Linear Park as far as Cascade Brewery, then back down Macquarie St, only to be distracted by Siceys Cascade Hotel, where I am currently sitting awaiting a Super Schnitzel Parma… yum!

Thanks to everyone who attended and made it a great event.

Bay Of Fires, Tasmania

Posted on 12, Jul

Another quick post here with some shots from a recent visit to the Bay of Fires and Binalong Bay on Tasmanias North East Coast. First up a shot from Binalong Bay.

And this shot is around at Cosy Corner, further up the Bay of Fires. Something different to the norm here.

Such a lovely spot and well worth a visit or even better a stay for a few nights.

Discover Tasmania Covershoots

Posted on 12, Jul

These photos were taken some time back, in fact they were the first job I did with the 5D MkII. Tourism Tasmania needed cover photos taken for their Discover Tasmania Holiday Planners for Hobart and Surrounds, and Launceston, Tamar and the North.

First up saw an early morning start at the docks in Hobart. This photo was not used, but is a nice shot of the guy playing the fisherman role, and a great example of how well the 5D MkII handles low light conditions, with this photo being taken at 5:45 in the morning, hand held, in quite dark conditions.

This shot was used on the front cover of the Hobart guide.

This one was a few pages in.

A few days later it was up to Launceston for an overnight stay at Rosevears Estate and then down to the Strathlynn Vineyard to meet the models at the crack of dawn, who enjoyed a rather  yummy looking cheese platter and some fine wine, all far too early in the morning for such indulgence. OK so there is no such thing as too early…
