Parkes Radio Telescope - The Dish

Now this looks like a very cool place to photograph. I remember visiting Parkes when I was a wee little kid. I wouldn't mind having a crack at a night photograph of the Dish. Please click here to view Janine Fabre's lovely photographic guide to "The Dish".

Cockatoo Island

Here's a guide to a fascinating photographic location - Cockatoo Island. I have personally shot here on a number of occasions. It's a great place for either a day trip, or if you are feeling a bit more like an adventure you can also camp out or rent one of the houses on the island and photograph the place at night.

Centennial Park - Macro Photography Guide

Now this is something different. This is the first Macro guide for a location.... Centennial Park.
This is the first guide from Louis Tsai, and the photos are stunning.... I've mucked about with macro a bit, but nothing like the quality of these photos.

So whether you are a macro photographer or not, it's worth checking out these stunning images.

Orroral Homestead

It's nice to get some guides that aren't coastal locations. For those of you that like shooting historic buildings that are typical of rural Australia, you will enjoy this photoguide from Janine Fabre from Canberra.

This looks like a great location. Click here to view Janine's guide to Orroral Homestead (near Canberra).

Lithgow Blast Furnace

This is one of my favorite "ruins" to shoot. This photoguide is from David Haworth who has contributed a number of guides to this project (thanks David).

The blast furnace is a really cool place to shoot... lots of interesting shapes, angles, backgrounds etc. It really is one of those "must see" locations in my view. Also makes for some interesting night photography (but I wouldn't shoot this place alone at night).

Manly Beach by Lee Duguid

Hey there fellowPhotogs. I hope Santa filled your stockings with great camera gear...

Here's a new guide from a photographer called Lee Duguid. I met Lee on one of my seascape workshops. He has kindly put together this photo guide for one of Sydney's icon locations, Manly. Now it's not your normal Manly surf beach stuff, but a few alternative locations around Manly that you may want to check out. Some lovely shots and some great ideas.

Happy New Year everybody

Jerusalem Bay

When I grew up we had a cabin cruiser and my Dad would take the family all around the Hawksbury, Pittwater and Cowan Creek. So it was with a touch of nostalgia that I received this guide to Jerusalem Bay from Angus Cameron. If you love bush walking with gorgeous waterway scenery, then I recommend you check out Angus's guide to Jerusalem Bay.

Coalcliff Beach by Herbert

Hi folks
Here's another guide by an Austrian contributor "Herbert". This is for a South Coast location called Coalcliff beach. Funnily enough I am down the coast as I type this, so I might just have to check this location out on my trip back to Sydney.

Enjoy the guide to Coalcliff Beach on the South Coast (60km from Sydney)

Canyon X (also known as Warriewood Blowhole)

Hi folks... It's been a few months since the last photo guide was put up, so I thought it was about time to add another batch. I'll try to add a few over this long weekend.

I have finally written the guide to Warriewood Blowhole... a place that I nicknamed "Canyon X" when I stumbled across it a while back. This is one of Sydney's relatively unphotographed locations mainly because of the access to it.

You can get to it by scrambling over rocks from North Turimetta, or else you can take the exciting route down the fishermans ropes from the cliff. I definitely prefer the rope descent.

Anyway, this location is NOT for the faint of heart, but there are some great rewards to those that do get down the bottom. I hope you enjoy my guide to Canyon X.

Nightcap National Park

Here's another gorgeous guide by Ros and Cheryl Brighouse. I swear their photos are improving with every guide they write. I haven't heard much about Nightcap National Park, but it certainly looks like there is some gorgeous scenery here.
