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

L&C Team — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 18:42:05 +0000

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 beaches can only be accessed by hiking a minimum of 10km, which generally means the crowds stay away. Those hikes also take you through some stunning mountainous terrain with spectacular views of cliffs, bays, beaches, offshore islands, dense forests and omnipresent gigantic granite boulders. Each time I go there I’m blown away and this visit was no exception.

Technical Info: Canon 5D Mark II | Canon 24-105mm f4L IS USM | Exposure: 1/250sec @ f/11 | ISO 400.

Photo of the Day | December 06 | Bogong Horseback Adventure, by Cameron Cope

L&C Team — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 16:29:10 +0000

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 Bogong, Victoria’s tallest mountain.

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

L&C Team — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 15:38:47 +0000

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 pretty amazing and I had heaps of fun shooting a subject that I had little experience with. The rider pictured is Jordan Houghtan.

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

L&C Team — Sun, 07 Nov 2010 14:45:36 +0000

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

L&C Team — Sat, 23 Oct 2010 13:49:42 +0000

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 a vast display of how man can erase biological diversity and replace for the purpose of producing just a single cash crop: wheat.

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.
