This is the view of the road from a hotel in Melbourne. I stayed there for a week and watched this space almost everyday. This specific day, there were just enough cars and that one person walking through the right spot on the road. This photograph was shot at Market Street in Melbourne.

Photo of the Day | December 11 | Little Waterloo Bay, by Cameron Cope

I took this self portrait panorama of myself hiking in one of Australia’s most amazing national parks, Wilsons Promontory. It simply can’t be beaten for the amount of phenomenal beaches in what is a relatively small area occupying the southernmost tip of mainland Australia. What makes it even more awesome is that many of those [...]

I took this photograph while on a 5-day horse trek in Australia’s mountainous south-east. Our route followed old gold mining and cattle grazing trails through some of the state of Victoria’s most spectacular alpine landscapes. We rode through densely forested mountain valleys, up steep ridgelines, across wide open highplains and made a traverse of Mount [...]

Photo of the Day | December 02 | Thredbo Big Air, by Cameron Cope

I captured this image while shooting the 2010 Thredbo Big Air Competition at Thredbo Ski Resort in Australia. The snowboarders and skiers hurled themselves off a 50ft jump trying to pull off their maddest tricks for a panel of judges perched atop the cabin of a snow groomer. For my untrained eye the aerialists were [...]

Photo of the Day | July 01 | Twelve Apostles, by Magda Biskup

Jul 01, 2011 No Comments by

Twelve Apostles is one of Australian most famous landmarks. The weather that day was really bad. It rained and the wind was really strong. It was difficult to take photos, so I only spent a few minutes in this beautiful place, but luckily they have turned out well.

Photo of the Day | November 08 | Self Portrait at Pancake Creek by Cameron Cope

Nov 08, 2010 1 Comment by

Sometimes I like to deliberately place myself in a landscape, to remind the viewer that what they are looking at when they see a landscape photograph is as much a human creation as a natural one. This photograph was taken on Pancake Creek, Queensland, Australia.

Photo of the Day | October 24 | Abandoned Settler Home by Cameron Cope

Oct 24, 2010 5 Comments by

Australia’s rural landscape is dotted with crumbling homes that stand as silent monuments to the country’s first settlement. At first less obvious, though far more meaningful evidence of the changes that have resulted from settlement, are the radically changed landscapes that these old frontier homes stand in. The fields around Burra in South Australia are [...]

Photographs was taken on Whitsunday Islands, Queensland, Australia. The Whitsunday islands are a place of both incredible natural beauty and crass tourism development. Thankfully the later is limited and provided you have a watercraft, inspiring natural land and sea-scapes are easy to find.
