Yesterday, I got to meet Ken Duncan as we were both interviewed by the local NBN TV station about my winning photograph in the Ken Duncan Awards, and the prize trip out to the Kimberley’s with Ken.

I entered some photos into the Ken Duncan Photo Awards, and my picture “Surf Alone” was chosen as the major prize winner! I get to go on a 13 day Kimberley Adventure with Ken Duncan!!
Orange Dawn
As Dawn approached on the last day of 2011 at Kioloa Beach, the orange and purple colours in the sky looked spectacular and I spotted this great reflection of the orange sky off the sand as the waves washed out.
Blue Sea
More from the morning at Kioloa Beach Set that I’ve been posting. I really loved the colour of the sea, the colour of the sky, and the contrast of the pine trees.
Footprints in the Sand
What an original title! These couple of photos were quickies taken at Kioloa Beach on the 31st December 2011. I liked the structure in the sand and the contrast.. in hindsight, I would’ve preferred to position myself so the footprints lead AWAY from me not towards me.. Anyway 
A Lonely Fisherman and his Boat
It was the last day of 2011, and I was up early to photograph Comet Lovejoy and the beautiful sunrise at Kioloa Beach. The beach was completely empty, except for a fisherman and his lonely boat… and 1 bird 
Pre-Dawn Star Trails at Killcare Beach
In 2012, I want to do some more photography – especially in the lead up to my holiday to Cairns and Uluru in November. And I’m off to a nice start, with some star trails captured in the pre-dawn sky at Killcare Beach on the NSW Central Coast.
Comet Lovejoy and the Emu from Kioloa Beach
I’d been mostly thwarted by clouds in my attempts to view and photograph Comet Lovejoy leading up to christmas. It wasn’t until the last day of 2011 that I was able to get up early and head out to photograph the comet from our holiday place at Kioloa Beach, which by now had risen higher in the sky, grew a long tail that was almost 30 degrees long, but had also faded considerable compared to the brightest views from the 24th-26th December.
Tree at Night at Kioloa Beach
While doing a morning shoot on the last day of 2011 at Kioloa Beach, I noticed some nice tree structure above me and pointed the camera directly upwards to capture the stars and tree. It turned out ok
The Night Sky over Kioloa Beach
On the last morning of 2011, I headed out early to capture some images of Comet Lovejoy and the night sky over Kioloa Beach. Here are the first of the shots.
