Perth beaches are something really special. Here I waited out a storm to take this shot. I was hoping for lightning but it did not eventuate in the end. When it looks stormy and miserable is the perfect time for a shot. #perth #australia #beach #storms #perthisokay #richardtelferphotography

Cascade brewery is dwarfed by Mount Wellington/Kunanyi. Hobart is such a beautiful city. Note this shot was taken where drones are permitted.

Love living in Perth, one of the most remote cities in the world. Near where I live is a regional park where kangaroos can roam. Here is a Joey warming up in the morning sunlight. #photography #australia #perth #perthisokay #naturephotography #nature #wa #kangaroo #wildlife #yellow

Pre-sunrise over City Beach, looking back to Perth as mist hangs over the city. Winter mornings like this make the early start worth it

Perth beaches are something special. Great to get up before the sunrise and shoot the Groyne at City Beach. The blue umbrella thingy is a shark lookout tower.

Taken a few years ago at a wedding on the beach at West Kilbride, on the west coast of Scotland. I used a single off camera flash (godoxAD300) to the right of the photo. Nikon D3, Nikkor 20mm F2.8D #photography #photographersofbluesky #nikon #scotland #visitscotland

Another magic Perth sunset. Here I am standing on a rock shelf hoping not to get swept out to sea….

It’s been a while since I posted anything. Life gets busy.. Perth in winter equals rainfall and that means wonderful waterfalls.

Welcome to a Perth sunrise. Perth is one of the most remote cities in the world.

In keeping with my earlier shot. Here is another shot at Burns Beach. You can see how close the reef is to the beach. Got to love the Australian beaches and outdoors. #Photography #seascapes #perth #wa #beach #sunsetlover #sunset #australia #ocean #perthisok #indianocean #longexposure #getoutside

Winter in Western Australia is cloudy and wet, meaning lovely majestic sunsets. Just north of Perth is a place called Burns Beach where the reef/rocks butt onto the beach. Enjoy the shot. #sunsets #photography #wa #australia #perth #seascapes #perthisok #ocean #sunsetlovers #indianocean

Lake Ballard is something else. A massive salt lake 800kms east of Perth. This is true Aussie outback. On the lake there are islands and statues. Surreal. #australia #photography #landscapephotography #westernaustralia #landscape #sunset #outback #statue

Yes I enjoy the journey and getting to practice my craft. I have the benefit to get out and travel to shoot new locations and occasionally meet new people. I shoot what I see and hopefully show the joy of the experience.

Escape Island’s lighthouse at sunset. This was taken with a long focal length to get the compression effect. Went to shoot an old jetty but saw something. Sometimes it’s a benefit to be flexible. #westernaustralia #australia #landscapephotography #lighthouse #seascape #sunset #flexible

Decided to shoot a sunset north of where I live at Jurien Bay. Overall 5 hours of driving for 30 minutes of photography. Worth it I hope.
