I still consider myself very new to this taking photos thing and I certainly don’t consider myself to be a photographer, so was extremely honoured today to learn that one of my photos was selected as a finalist in the Australian Photography Landscape Awards! Certainly gives me motivation to keep trying to improve 😊

Perth - Western Australia

Another shot of the Perth CBD. This time from across the Swan River in South Perth. The sunrise wasn’t really playing the game, but the city looks good none the less.

Perth - Western Australia

There are plenty of times where I wish I had an actual camera and didn’t have to rely on the iPhone and trying to get a photo of the Perth CBD from Kings Park is certainly one of those times. Let’s hope I did it justice.

Swan River - Perth - Western Australia

When you’re out trying to get a photo of the city, but these 2 black swans under the soft sunrise steal the show instead!

Sunshine Station - Geebung - Queensland

The sunset in Brisbane yesterday was an absolute masterpiece. Unfortunately I wasn’t somewhere where I could get a nice picture at its peak, but I couldn’t let it go completely, so I pulled over to grab this quick shot. Did anyone else manage to get a nice photo of it??

Mooloolaba Harbour - Sunshine Coast - Queensland

I don’t have much to say about this photo so here’s a thought instead… so much of your personality is just your brain trying to protect you from things that already happened… Anyway, enjoy this photo of Mooloolaba Harbour 😊

Pine River - Bald Hills - Queensland

A few more shots I had from Tinchi Tamba Wetlands that I liked but didn’t necessarily think made the cut for a post on their own. I really did love the sunset that day and it changed so much over such a short period. The time of these photos was:
1 - 6:52pm
2 - 6:51pm
3 - 6:45pm
4 - 6:45pm
5 - 6:43pm
6 - 6:38pm

Moffat Headland - Moffat Beach - Queensland

Blue sky, rolling waves and beautiful piece of coastline… probably not much else to say 🌞🌊

Caloundra Lighthouses - Caloundra - Queensland

The Caloundra Lighthouses built in 1896 and 1968 are two heritage listed, lighthouses located on the top of the hill on Canberra terrace in Caloundra. The old lighthouse is the oldest remaining building in Caloundra. The new lighthouse was one of two of this type of lighthouse constructed in Australia with the other, on Lytton Hill, being demolished in the 1990s leaving the Caloundra lighthouse as a completely unique lighthouse in Australia.

While it was cool to see these buildings, the sunset from across the street was its own sight to see!

Felons Brewing - Fortitude Valley - Queensland

I do love this spot of an afternoon under the bridge watching the sun set behind the city. But looking down from above during sunrise is also a pretty good view!
