I’ve recently been road tripping around south east Queensland Australia, looking for interesting photography topics, scenes and destinations. I’ve been following the coast mostly, and these photos reflect that. It’s no surprise to anyone, least of all me, that boats in all states of neglect or otherwise feature. Find me a boatyard, a marina, an anchorage or a boat harbour and I can amuse myself for hours.
These images were captured somewhere between Burrum Heads in the south and Bowen in the north, and many ports in between. Bundaberg turned out to be the biggest surprise package, with a surf culture I had no clue existed. Admittedly, it helps having a cyclone brewing off the coast to generate surf-worthy waves. And, as my surfing-mad brother pointed out, Bundaberg is no Gold Coast when it comes to waves. But Bundy surfers happily take whatever swell comes their way.
I hope you enjoy viewing these photos as much as I enjoyed making them.

The stories behind the photographs
Capturing photographs from my travels around the world, I love the serendipity of heading out for an adventure to see what I may discover.

The equipment I use
My main camera is a Canon 5DM4 with my go-to lens being a Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 ( I absolutely LOVE this lens!). I also travel with a Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8 L which works for wide-angle, and a 100-400mm which is great for wildlife.
Usually I travel with a Manfrotto tripod, though I also have a Manfrotto monopod which works well with the 100-400mm lens.
For calibrating my screens once I start the editing process I recommend either of these products:
Calibrate ColourChecker (sells for approx AUD250)
Datacolour SpyderX Pro (retails for approx AUD260)
