  • Floating high above the Atheron Tablelands at sunrise has to be one of the most photogenic things you can do in @queensland! Kangaroos jump through the bushland beneath you as you drift over rainforests, rivers, orange and mango fields...💛
#thisisqueensland #exploretnq
  • Chasing waterfalls all the way to the Great Barrier Reef this week with the lovely Katie from @mycolourfulworld_! 
Here she is at the beautiful Zillie Falls on the Atherton Tablelands of @queensland, the waterfalls up here are so lush and at the moment they're pumping with water! So incredible 💚#exploretnq #thisisqueensland 📷: Olympus OM-D E-M1 MkII | ISO 200 | f2.8 | 1/40sec #olympusinspired
  • The reef and rainforest of @tropicalnorthqueensland are calling my camera and tomorrow I'm on my way north to photograph all the waterfalls and wonders from the Atherton Tablelands to Cape Tribulation and the Great Barrier Reef with the talented @mycolourfulworld_ !
I'm SO excited to head back to @queensland again, it's been way too many months! Fingers crossed for sunshine ☀️ #thisisqueensland #thewanderinglens #seeaustralia_qld
  • Head in the Clouds ☁️
I hope everyone had a lovely weekend! 
This was taken a few weeks back in Sydney at @tarongazoo while researching for my Sydney Photography Location Guide, the views from the zoo are so beautiful looking back across the harbour, and these cuties in the foreground make it even better!
📷 @olympus_au OM-D E-M1 MKII + M.Zuiko 40-150mm f2.8 PRO lens and the trusty IPhone reflection technique...again, I'm obsessed 🙈 #olympusinspired #tarongazoo #seeaustralia #thewanderinglens
  • It's been a big day in surfing so I thought I'd share a little local seascape from sunrise! 
I can't surf but love being in the ocean and watching surf events like today's Bells Pro with @stephaniegilmore taking the title and @mfanno retiring after his final. So cool to watch!
Anyway...this shot was taken using the human tripod method with a slow shutter and spin from left to right to create the blur.
📷 OM-D E-M1 MkII @olympus_au 40-150mm f2.8 PRO Lens | 1/100sec | ISO 64 | f/22 #olympusinspired
  • Full moons + sunset swims...summer definitely isn't over yet! 🌕
Happy Easter Everyone! 
Taken at Lighthouse Beach, Port Macquarie tonight...I confess I nearly missed it though because I got a little distracted by people watching, in particular a huge group of people digging holes for pippi's! 📷 @olympus_au OM-D E-M1 MKII + 40-150mm M.Zuiko f2.8 PRO lens. ISO 1000 | f2.8 | 1/40sec hand-held. #olympusinspired #thewanderinglens

  • The frozen details of a glacier, ripples in the ocean or patterns reflecting in a puddle...I'm a tad obsessed with capturing details within a landscape and today I've published an article all about what I use.
If you head to my Insta Stories you'll find a link to read the benefits of travelling with a zoom lens...for me the 40-150mm f2.8 (80-300mm equivalent) has quickly become my favourite lens. If we've met recently I've no doubt thrown it at you (gently) to try out! 📷 ISO 200 | 1/100 sec | f2.8 | OM-D E-M1 MKII
