Chilling out on Bare Island trying out some new toys, would be a bunch more interesting with the other type of Bears, according to my middle daughter

What i really like about these is that you can use them with the lens hood and remove them very easily between shots where need be. Whilst not critical for this kind of scene, when your under a shower of spray in a waterfall a lens hood can make the difference between a miserable session and a great one

Seacliff Bridge

I’ve been to this spot a few times over the years, each time go i remember the first time I went here way back in 2009, before social media discovered it, back when Nearmaps (better imagery than google) was still free, which at the time was what i used to see where to walk. It was a bunch easier then, very little vegetation and it was pretty easy to go down the old road and get to the bottom, now its shin scratching spider infested, head crab eating stroll..

I go back every couple of years and its cool to see how time has worn away at it and overgrown it and restrictions put in place to stop people photographing it….

Sorry – to the couple who had their photoshoot photobombed by us, there is me carrying a 3 year old whilst yelling at chaos to stop climbing the cliffs..
sorry to the couple in the rocks who were trying to enjoy a romantic moment.. haha.. we killed that moment
not sorry to the snake i scared the crap out of when i tried to retrieve a shell from between a bunch of rocks.. thanks for that one middle daughter…. i reckon the embarrassment of getting bitten by a snake would have killed me before it did





Sometimes you need to look back to see the path forward.

although I suspect sometimes it’s better to blindly forge ahead for the journey behind can tear you down.

Apparently I should update my photoshop version to get all this new fangled sky replacement wizardry which is causing the photographic world to get their nickers in a knot

for the record, no skies replaced here.. these were real and dumped a bunch of rain on us



Leech-ville

you know that little bit of skin near the calcaneofibular ligament – thats the fancy name for the ligament just below the boney bit of your ankle.. it hurts like crap after a leech has been sucking on it for a couple of hours.. moreso the day after….damn leeches and their ability to get into your socks and boots.

There is always a path… sometimes the path of blocked, sometimes it is not much of a direct route, sometimes there are hidden branches to trip you up, sometimes there are just slippery ass patches which catch you unaware…

rest assured tho, that path always leads to the lowest point and the the place of least energy…. thats where water goes.

sometimes its best to go the other way
