Two Scaly Breasted Lorikeet Shots

These were taken at Brunswick Heads, using a high-end portrait lens I hired over the weekend. It’s a Canon 85mm f/1.2 L USM lens. These lorikeets made perfect subjects!

Purling Brook Falls, Base

This depiction belies the real magnitude of these falls, but shows the lushness of its surroundings

purling brook falls, top

Taken from one of two lookouts overlooking the top section of Purling Brook Falls, in Springbrook National Park. This is both a stitched panorama and a tone map of a High Dynamic Range image…..The constituent images were shot on a Canon 400D with a Zeiss Flektagon f/2.4 35mm, at f/11, using a Panosaurus panoramic head.

Middle, Gloucester, North Head and Stone Islands from Flagstaff Hill on a cloudy Sunday morning.

Flagstaff Hill is one of the highest points in Bowen, providing commanding views in all directions - South to the northernmost islands of the Whitsundays, West over Bowen, North toward Kings Beach, Rose Bay and Cape Edgecumbe, and East over the Pacific.

Car Haul, Mount Nebo Road

A driver went off the side of Mount Nebo Road and plunged down the mountain into scrub. Fortunately she wasn’t hurt too badly.

The RACQ crew took a good while to haul the 4WD up the hill, as it was dragging a piece of tree along with it.

Predatory Fly, Wivenhoe Outlook

This predatory fly was well over an inch long, and was stationary (I presume feeding) on a railing at the Wivenhoe Outlook at Mount Glorious.

I was able to get very close (the shot is from approximately 15cm) with the Zeiss Flektagon lens.
