🌕 Full Moon Rising over Lake George 🌕
The full moon is getting closer — and nights like this are a reminder of just how rewarding it can be to plan ahead and chase the light. This moonrise was captured out at Lake George, NSW, where the landscape and wind turbines lined up perfectly for a celestial show.

Shot with a full spectrum modified Canon 6D and the Sigma 150–600mm, this setup lets me really bring out the texture and detail in the moon as it peeks above the horizon.

There’s something special about watching the moonrise — still, silent, and timeless. Throughout history, the moon has been a guide, a calendar, a muse. Cultures around the world have looked to it for meaning, marked time by its phases, and woven it into stories, rituals and art. Whether it’s drawing the tides or shaping ancient mythologies, the moon continues to connect us all under the same sky.

Moonrise in Focus

Captured this waxing gibbous moon as it climbed the evening sky, framed by soft silhouettes of nearby plants on the rocks. Not quite full yet—that's coming next week—but the lunar detail is already stunning.

Shot with the Canon 5D Mark IV and Sigma 150–600mm at f/6.3, ISO 200, 1/1000s. The long reach and fast shutter helped freeze the moment while keeping the moon crisp against the soft, dreamy foreground.

Sometimes it's not just about the moon, but how you frame it.

What an introduction to astrophotography!
This was my very first lesson with the incredible Ari Rex, and I couldn’t have asked for a more inspiring night under the stars. Capturing the Milky Way stretching over the Orroral Homestead was nothing short of magical. Always having an affinity with the stars, it was an amazing start to my journey and a great friendship.

🌌 The Watcher Returns 🌌 Back on Smiths Road

🌌 The Watcher Returns 🌌
Back on Smiths Road under the stars, where silence speaks and the universe listens. The Milky Way rises, ancient and constant, while The Watcher stands beneath its gaze.

This spot always feels a little magical — the glow of the chimney, the stretch of the road, and a sky full of stories. Nights like these remind me why I keep coming back.

**🎶 Goo Goo Dolls Live in Canberra! 🎸✨**

Had the incredible opportunity to shoot for the Goo Goo Dolls during their Canberra gig at AIS Arena in February! 📷 Capturing live music is always a thrill, and while this was a Front of House (FoH) shoot—stationed at the sound desk—it was a fantastic challenge to work from a different perspective. But let’s be honest… my heart is always in the Pit! ❤️🔥

Music photography is a passion of mine, and it’s always special to be sourced for moments like this. There’s nothing quite like freezing the raw energy, emotion, and connection between the band and the crowd.

Swipe through for some highlights from the night! 🎤🎶

**✨ Embracing the Night Sky on Smiths Road ✨**

On Tuesday night, I traveled back to an old favourite site on Smiths Road and was greeted by a breathtaking canopy of stars. Standing under the vast expanse of the universe, capturing its beauty, is an experience like no other. The serenity and wonder of the night sky truly rejuvenate the soul.

Interestingly, recent discussions have highlighted the benefits of 'star bathing'—immersing oneself in the starlit environment to enhance well-being. Engaging with the cosmos not only offers a visual feast but also promotes mental clarity and relaxation.
