My favourite places to photograph in Kakadu National Park
The bird life is phenomenal at the end of the dry season as all birds concentrate around the shrinking water supply (typically between mid Aug and late Oct)
The Northern Territory - my Top 5 Travel Tips
The perception of the Northern Territory is that we’re a bit behind the times up here, and it’s a dangerous place to be (Correct me if I’m wrong, I’d love to know what you think of the NT!).
The NT is Outback Australia, it is NATURE Territory.
We have so much to explore here!
This blog post covers my top tips on how to “do the NT” and get the most out of your trip!
Kakadu National Park Intro
I'm always looking for places to go in the Top End region, new places to explore and photograph. I was recently looking for some information on Maguk (or Barramundi Gorge) in Kakadu National Park and although could find the basics from the Parks Australia website - http://www.parksaustralia.gov.au/kakadu/ - I found it difficult to find "real life" experiences on exploring and the location.

As I hadn't visited Twin Falls for a couple of years, I decided it was time to make another trip Kakadu. Every "escape" to the park, I wish there was more time…
TIPS | Finding the light
Professional landscape photographer's always talk about the "light" in their photos. For me, I agree. To achieve an exceptional landscape photograph, you need to be able to use the light - and wait for the "right" light.
It's hard to explain how to use the light. You kinda learn, over time, how to see it. What to look for, and why it looks different….
