Hi all
I’m selling my Canon 100mm f2.8 macro lens.
I’ve had it for about a year and has only been used a few times. It is in like new condition. Was bought in Australia and has all original packaging.
This shot of a bobtail lizard was taken with lens a couple of months ago.
I’ll take $450.00 for it.
Cheers and see you on the True North tomorrow!

Those in WA might have heard about the large number of birds perishing on the south coast last week – probably due to extremely hot weather. The already endangered Carnaby’s black-cockatoo took a hammering with about half of the areas population dying. This charismatic bird is my favorite bird species and I was saddened to hear the news. Here’s an image of a female taken in the mid west a couple of months ago. She was chomping through the banksia cones in search of a meal of seeds. Hopefully the south coast population will recover in the years to come.
With all the recent weather in the north of WA I thought I’d pop up a shot of one of the best thunderstorms I have every photographed.
It was taken a couple of wet seasons ago in the Kimberley. Expert storm chaser Radek Dolecki and I where lucky enough to get ourselves into perfect position as the storm advanced towards us. The air was electric. Lightning bolts were everywhere and a few raced over our heads. The thunder was sooo loud you could feel it in you chest! I took this shot about 5 minutes before the storm engulfed us with torrential rain. I love this shot as you can see where the strike hits the ground. For those who have my Kimberley book it’s in the wet season chapter on page 173.
Merry Christmas everyone and thanks for your encouragement and support in 2009. Can’t wait for 2010 and hope you all have a fantastic New Year!
Cheers Dave
Hi everyone. Apologies for my absence over the last month or so. I’ve been away to Carnarvon and catching up the backlog of work since returning to Perth. All up and running again now! Here’s a pick of a few zebra finches taken whilst up in Carnarvon. There were some massive flocks of these little critters and I managed to get 4 to stay still long enough to get a shot of them. The ones with the orange cheeks are males and ones without are females. Hope you like it.
Cheers Dave
Best known for being one of the hottest places in Australia the tiny outback town of Marble Bar is also surrounded by stark landscapes.
Merv French, Flemming Bo Jenson and I are jointly showcasing this magnificent part of the Pilbara on our blogs.
Here are a few of my favorites which can be found in my Pilbara book.
Does anyone else has a favourite image of Marble Bar? Pop it up on your blog for all to see! We look forward to seeing them.
Does anyone in blog land have a favourite image of the Marble Bar area? If you do then see if you can pop it up on your blog. Merv and I had the grand idea of making Wednesday Marble Bar Day so search through your archives folks and lets see what you can find!
Just so everyone doesn’t start thinking that I only head up north here’s an image from WA’s south. I took this pic on a trip to the Esperance earlier this year. The colourful rocks of this windswept part of the world make great compositions me thinks….
Here’s a nature pic taken from my recent trip to Borneo. Photographing wildlife in the dense tropical rainforest is tricky at the best of times. The broadbill hopped so quickly through the foliage that I only had a few seconds to bump up the ISO and snap a couple of quick shots. Sadly this colourful little critter is an endangered species and is getting harder and harder to find in the wild.
There’s not much to photograph at King Sound near Derby. That is until you take to the skies where you can fully appreciate the extraordinary patterns etched into the vast tidal floodplain. And it’s in the book on pages 38 & 39. Cheers.
