1 Day Intensive Seascape Workshop


Hey all you Sydney Seascape nuts. You guys might be interested in this intensive workshop that I am running in June covering all aspects of seascape photography, from the capture through to the workflow. I've been shooting seascapes for a long time, a lot of my work is on display in these photo guides, and you can view more of it here in my Flickr gallery.

If you like my seascapes and want to produce images like these, I'm going to share all my tips, tricks and secrets on the workshop including my photoshop workflow in great detail. I'm keeping this group small and intimate, so first in... best dressed.

More information including the workshop schedule can be found here.

Long Reef


This is a guide written by yours truly. I love photographing Long Reef. There is something quite peaceful about walking around this huge reef in the pre-dawn light. It's quiet... normally there are no other people around and there are lots of lovely things to photograph. Especially if you love rock textures and isolating the boulders.

I hope you enjoy this guide to Long Reef.

Avalon Tidal Pool

Here's another guide by Johno (aka Xenedis).

Avalon is quite a pretty tidal pool nested under the Southern headland of the beach. Easy to access and quite a lot of fun to shoot. There are even some good overhead shots of this pool and beach.

Cronulla - Not one, two or three... but Four Tidal Pools

This comprehensive guide to the tidal pools of Crunulla is written by Johnno (aka Xenedis). John enjoys the Dawn seascapes along with other photographic interests... I've had the pleasure of shooting with John on a number of occasions.

This guide goes into a lot of detail about the different types of scenery you can find down around Cronulla. I haven't had the pleasure of shooting this location yet, but after reading the guide I think I'm going to have to make the journey down that way.

Wentworth Falls in the Blue Mountains

Here's a guide to a wonderful place... Wentworth Falls. This is definitely a must-see location and Mark has done it justice with some gorgeous locations in this guide. It is a well written comprehensive photo guide for this incredible place.

Penguins Point, Culburra Beach

Hey folks

Sorry for the absence of postings... I've been busily writing my first book (well e-book actually), and thats almost ready to be published.

But it is my pleasure to link in a guide to Penguins Point written by Eugene Dagher. Not far from Nowra on the NSW South Coast, this locations sure looks pretty photogenic. I can feel a South Coast trip coming up to visit some of the wonderful locations that are springing up on the guide site.

Balls Head - Sydney Harbour


This is a lovely guide to Balls Head in Sydney Harbour. If you are looking for a different angle to take some stunning panos of classic Sydney scenes, then I don't think you can go past Balls Head in a hurry. Looks like a whole raft of different angles and shots can be taken from this location.

Minnamurra Rain Forest


Another of Steve's guides... this one is for Minnamurra Rain Forest behind Kiama. I haven't been down to this part of NSW for a very long time, but with all of these great guides that are being posted, I can feel a weekend trip coming up to explore some of them.

I hope you enjoy the guide to Minnamurra Rain Forest. Click here to view it.

South Curl Curl Tidal Pool

Well it seems that the wet weather we are having is keeping a lot of the landscapers out from shooting this weekend.... so what better way is there to pass the time than writing a couple of guides. That seems to work for Dave Smith who is obviously getting itchy feet.... this is Dave's second guide, and really makes a matching set for Curl Curl. Dave first write a great guide for North Curly (see below), and now he has completed his second guide for South Curl Curl.

I've only shot there once, but I really enjoyed it. I know that Dave has shot at this location several times and has put together a great guide.

North Curl Curl Tidal Pool by Dave Smith

Here's a great guide to a location that I know well ... North Curl Curl tidal pool. This guide is by Dave Smith who is an avid Northern Beaches photographer.

Dave has got some cracking pictures from this lovely little location in his guide. If you haven't shot North Curly before, I suggest you click here to look at what you might find in this location.

Kiama Rock Pool

Well, it's been a few months since I updated the NSW guides.... I've been travelling through Europe and then visiting Uganda.... just coming up for air now.

Photo by Steve Mullarkey

I haven't photographed Kiama, but based on this guide, it looks like I better plan a trip down there. The rock formations look very interesting and definitely worth photographing.

The Skillion by Ilya Genkin


Here's a glorious guide for a special place. I remember growing up we used to holiday every Xmas at the Terrigal. The Skillion was a very strange and beautiful place that we used to run up and roll down as kids. The nice thing about the Skillion is that although Terrigal has changed a lot, the Skillion has remained the same. This guide features some gorgeous photographs from freelance photographer Ilya Genkin.

Come and check out Ilya's guide to The Skillion.

La Perouse and Ship Wreck

This guide is written by David Haworth and is about one of my favorite locations to photograph. The Eastern tip of La Perouse. It is so remote and deserted that you feel like you are hours from Sydney. It is a wonderfully quiet place to wonder around and photograph. From gorgeous rocks to a rusted old shipwreck, there is plenty to photograph here.
