Hastings Point


This is another guide by Ross and Cher for one of the Northern beaches in NSW. Looks like a beautiful spot. It's great to see a few more guides springing up for non-Sydney locations.

Devils Cauldron by Brent Pearson


Here's a guide to one of my favorite Northern Beaches locations (probably in my top 3). It is located about 20 min South of Whale Beach (along the rocks) and I have nick-named it "Devils Cauldron". When you see it in action you will see why I called it this.

A fantastic place to photograph... very dramatic. This is not a location for beginners to Seascape photography as there is a 20 min scramble over the rocks. It is also near an exposed rock shelf, so you need to be very careful of waves out here.

Well worth the effort to get to. I hope you enjoy my guide to Devils Cauldron.

Mungo National Park


Well I finally got my old man to write a guide.... and it's a good one. This is written by my Dad (and sometimes photographic shooting buddy.... when he takes me...)

He has chosen to write a comprehensive guide to one of the places I am dying to go out and photograph - Mungo National Park. I'm sure he does this just to rub in the fact that he is retired and can shoot whenever he wants while I have to slave away at work.

This is a fascinating guide to an incredibly interesting area. I hope you enjoy reading the guide to Mungo National Park

Dee Why


Here's a new guide to Dee Why by Johnno (aka Xenedis). Dee Why is a great location to shoot as it has not only a photogenic pool, but also some lovely rocks to the South of the pool. If you keep following the shorline, you even come to a lovely set of stone stairs that seemingly go nowhere.

Enjoy Johno's guide to Dee Why

Seascape Workshop Update

Just a quick note. The first workshop filled up pretty quickly, so I have put on a second workshop that will run on July 27 & 28. There are currently still 3 places left on this workshop, so anybody that would like to really accelerate their seascape photography, this is your chance. See the post below for more details and a link to the workshop details.

Gerringong & Werri Beach


Hey Folks
Here's a new guide from a new contributor Richard Cordell (more new contributors would be great). This is for two beaches just South of Kiama. It's great to get more contributions from outside the Sydney area.

Looks like there are some great locations around the Kiama area.

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.
