At least once in the meanderings of experimental imaging, a photographer will stand or even lay in the middle of a train line to experience one of the most cliched forms of visual perspective, vanishing tracks. The more adventurous might even have waited for an oncoming train to provide both context and action. The sensible … Read more
Tidal creek mangroves cast elongated shadows across the low salty marsh of Garden Island in the last light of the day. These salty rivulets, now full during one of the highest tides of the season, will in a short time begin draining back out to sea. #aerial #goldenhour #landscape #mangroves #marshes #nature #pristine #salt-marsh #southaustralia … Read more
It’s cold in the water down down here but there is no shortage of colour on the hull of the Seawolf and every reason to keep on diving through the South Australian winter. One thing the cold does is to keep our dives quite short. Not long after reaching the sand and beginning the swim … Read more
I wonder the leagues of ocean she’s traversed. I wonder the storms she’s braved. I wonder the lives transformed through her employ and the goods she’s delivered. I wonder the crews she’s kept safe at sea. I wonder if she still sails in dreams. #santiago #shipwreck #southaustralia #dolphinsanctuary #Gardenisland #highkey #wreck
There was a big tide this evening and I was eager to see just how much of Garden Island became submerged. From my limited vantage it was really hard to tell. If I were to offer a guess I’d say two thirds of the swampy landmass was underwater. Garden Island continues to intrigue, delight and … Read more

But at 15-20 meters down without bringing your own light you might be disappointed in the almost monochrome blue green landscape. In the light of my strobes or a super bright torch you’ll see reds, and purples, and … Read more
Is there such a thing as being lucky? I’ve heard from seasoned boaties that every now and then a sea turtle, normally a tropical creature, finds its way down to the southern coastline of Australia. I’ve listened to these stories over all my diving years with a grain of salt and a handful of scepticism; … Read more
Here’s another biscuit star from Sunday’s dive at Rapid Bay. This little guy was as obvious as a red giant in a dark sky. Its bright orange stood out from the edge of my vision only to become so much more vivid in the white light of my strobe. Not much colour variation here, just … Read more
The number of and variety of seastars we saw at Rapid Bay on Sunday was just wonderful. The biscuit stars alone were both numerous and incredibly varied in their colours and patterns. This little biscuit star perched atop an old pylon stump could not have found a better place to get its portrait taken while … Read more
After a week of cold, overcast skies and rain the sun finally came out and made our trip to Rapid Bay Jetty to dive with Jess and Andy all the more delightful. The visibility was pretty good in that milky non-committal way that we all know and love about Rapid Bay. Here rough weather will … Read more
