Ah, travel photography. The pursuit of capturing stunning sunsets, majestic landscapes, and that perfect Instagrammable moment. But let’s be honest, it’s not all glamorous locations and envy-inducing feeds.
The scars of bushfires can be etched deeply on the landscape. Yet, amidst the ash and loss, lies an incredible story of resilience. As photographers, we recently embarked on a journey to revisit Flinders Chase National Park on Kangaroo Island, a region heavily impacted by the devastating 2019-2020 bushfires.
There’s no denying the allure of capturing that perfect shot at a location plastered all over Instagram. But before you battle the crowds for the iconic pose, consider the double-edged sword of capturing these tourist hotspots.
Are you planning your next holiday? Why not make the most of your time by preplanning some holiday photos? It helps, especially if you have limited time due to spending time with family and such.
I adore those happy accidents where you discover something magical, a true fortuitous stroke of luck. Rapaura Falls was one such garden. Located near Whatatete Bay on the North Island of New Zealand. and we spent a truly lovely morning wandering the grounds, full of delight and wonder.
We recently took a long weekend to visit my daughter in Queensland, which meant flying. Here in Australia (as in possibly every other country), having staff shortages at airports is a real problem.
It's never been more important than now in preserving our colonial past. Here in Australia, we don’t have quite the history of many other countries, but what we have we feel is unique. One such place I visited recently was Clayton Farm in Tatiara in South Australia. A truly unique experience of farm culture from the 1870s.
I recently read a wonderful article by fellow writer Sara Kempner on Faroe Islands. It got me thinking about a trip my husband and I did a few years ago while travelling New Zealand. Granted, not quite as remote, but just as enthralling an adventure for us. So I thought I would dive back into my memory box and share it with you.
When it comes to landscape and travel photography, do you try to capture what thousands already have or do you look for something a little more unique? Perhaps you are asking how can I make my travel pictures more interesting?
I have found that I often learn and see more when I have my camera in my hands. Looking through the viewfinder allows me to block out everything else and really see what is before me.
