To practice using our new underwater camera rigs, we were looking for somewhere fairly close with easy diving. And by “easy” I mean warm water, and people to carry all your stuff. We settled on Bali, and booked a week with Underwater Tribe, who came highly recommended by Scubapix. The itinerary included five days of […]
Have you ever seen that photo of a kangaroo lounging on a pristine white sand beach? Some quick googling identified the destination to be Esperance, which is also known for leafy sea dragons. Esperance isn’t easy to get to – we think this is why it remains so special. From Perth, it is an 8 […]
All of our vacations used to revolve around diving. Then we fell in love with Africa. Now that we live in Australia, it kind of made sense to pick up diving again. Oh yeah, we also bought some fancy new camera housings. Given we hadn’t been underwater since the Galapagos, we decided to do a […]
There are few places that we visit more than once, so it should come as a shock to most that we spent Christmas in 2015 in the Whitsundays. Yes, that makes the THIRD visit in two years. We absolutely love it there, it is an easy trip from Melbourne, and the boat we chartered in […]
In the spirit of end of year reflections, I thought I’d post my favourite images from 2015. It was an interesting exercise, as we shot more than 11,000 images this year (not including those shot as part of a time-lapse). So here goes – my (and your) favourite images from 2015. Not the shot […]
If you travel a lot for work, you know that most of the time you get to see the consultant trifecta: the airport, the office, and some Western chain hotel. It takes effort, and some sleep sacrificing, to squeeze in much more than that. This was my first time in Vietnam, and I was determined […]
I’d been to Singapore once before. On that trip, my client was at the airport, I stayed at the airport, and the office was five minutes from the airport. I didn’t see much. On this trip, I was determined to see more. Jet lag was in my favour, so when I woke up well before […]
We timed this overnight adventure with the new moon, hoping for a last glimpse of the full Milky Way arch before it sinks below the horizon for summer. From Melbourne, we took the Great Ocean Road, stopping in Kennet River for a coffee at the Kafe Koala. If you want some easy wildlife spotting, this […]
If you are a frequent traveler like me, you probably have a go to travel outfit. I’m talking about clothes that are comfortable, don’t wrinkle, and are metal free to avoid security issues. My go to outfit for as along as I can remember has been black leggings and a tunic, with a cashmere wrap […]
Location: Mana Island, Fiji Sometimes it is good to get away and focus on photography for a few days. Especially when the lineup of instructors is stellar and the workshop is in Fiji. Fiji is relatively close to Australia (five hours non-stop), but the ferry schedule (and frequent flyer tickets) necessitated a layover night in […]
