I’m into nature #photography and have a bad #science habit. Can be found skulking around in the dark looking for new ways to amuse my #audhd. I document #landscape, #astrophotography, and #timelapse in ways nobody else has ever seen. I was banned from Tropical Fruit World at age 6. #lutruwita / #Tasmania / #Australia, he/him/they
Frozen Giant was captured on the top of a Finnish fell in Winter last year.
There's not a lot I love more than trudging around in snow capturing beautiful frozen landscapes... and there aren't many places better for snow and ice than Finnish Lapland!

The Coast Mountains of British Columbia are one hell of a special place!

After seeing this waterfall, it made the stairs down and back up seem worthwhile.

@mattpaynephoto 90% of the time, photography is really just an excuse to go cool places with cool people for me. The other 10%, if I see another soul for the entire duration, I am likely to throw hands.
@exkclamation it was actually my mate’s phone! The door was open which it never is otherwise, so it was a unique opportunity while we were shooting.

@failedLyndonLaRouchite considering I work from home for the largest renewable generator in Australia, live in a studio apartment, am primarily vegetarian and live somewhere I can buy my produce directly from the farms around me, and don’t have kids, pets, or a TV, I think a road trip every few months is kind of warranted. You must be a riot to be around day to day.
I hope people read my alt text when I post an image. I like to put as much effort into the narrative of a scene as much as I do imaging it in the first place.
Back in early 2019, I was out on the Tasman Peninsula shooting the rising Milky Way for the first time in the season.
As the first traces of sunlight started to intrude into the Bortle 2 skies, a lone Brushtail possum snuck into the scene for several frames, posing atop this now-fallen dock under the rising Milky Way. Suitably, the image is named The Visitor.
Have you had wildlife interrupt your shoot?
@swansinflight @erikcats ah hey, who knows. All I know is it’s been in several museums with my name under it, so I am quite the thief if I am 😂
@erikcats hey?
Ascent to Valhalla 2024
My first trip up this mountain was a tough one. Planning for an overnight stay, we climbed to the saddle and set up camp. The hot, humid day was quite a shock after months in the cold Tasmanian winter, making the climb a real struggle. Thinking the sunset would be a dud, we scouted sunrise compositions, only to witness a fleeting burst of light through the clouds just before sunset.i quickely captured this moment.

Ichigo ichie (一期一会) is a Japanese idiom that means "one time, one meeting". I take it to mean that every moment is fleeting and making the most of every encounter. How often have you driven past a scene that catches your attention and imagination but instead of stopping, you tell yourself you'll stop on the return home. Then if you do stop, the light is somehow different or the scene doesn't have quite the same unique qualities. The moment has passed.
Sometimes you have the most amazing and beautiful conditions, but your favourite photo is taken of the ground in the carpark as you leave.
These were taken of a snowy morning in #CradleMountain #Tasmania
Australia & snow are two words you wouldn't put together but yep, it snows here!
This image was taken on an Autumn trip to Kosciuszko (Aussie alps). I knew it was going to rain & potentially snow, but not the blizzard-like conditions that hit!
After bunkering down in the tent I popped out to see what had happened…knee deep snow & ice stalactites everywhere!

#astrophotography folks! Show me your coolest #aurora #photography.
This one was taken at The Hazards on Tasmania’s east coast. I drove about 800km in 24 hours to make this photo happen.

@chandlerpeachy I won’t break my gear intentionally, but I won’t cry if I break it doing what I need it to do. Don’t buy them to sit in the bag 😊
@crypticcelery oh you sound exactly my kind of MacGyver!
@ixs this was back in 2020 – GenAI hadn’t come to be a thing back then 😊
