Here are 15 of my favourite images. Images that I consider 'Portfolio Worthy'
I will add and remove images over time as I gain more experience, and take better photos.

Manhattan from Brooklyn.On a November 2018 trip to NYC, this was the one iconic photo i was hoping to get. After a few days of poor conditions, our last night in NYC proved to be the the best opportunity. Some nice cloud cover to give the sky some interest, little wind for smooth water, and a weeknight so the office buildings were all lit up. The temperature was -2degC, so taking multiple 2-3 min exposures tested the patience of my wife. Really happy with this image.
The Sun Voyager at Sunrise.Usually when I do sunrise/sunset photos, I have 5-10 minutes of colour, then the sky returns to normal. Not so in Reykjavik. Due to the low arc of the sun, the sunrise was going on for about 1 hour, allowing plenty of time to get a great photo, especially handy when doing long exposures.
Kilimanjaro PortersAt an altitude of nearly 4,900 meters, after 5 days of hiking in low oxygen, sick with headache and stomach complaints, this was one of my most rewarding photos. Porters were setting up for the nights camp, and noticing Mount Meru peaking next to the tent, i thought it would make a great picture.
The Sydney Opera House.I only live a 10 min drive from the Opera House, but are yet to get the ultimate photo. Knowing there was a cricket match on at the SCG, and seeing the low clouds, I made the short journey to Milsons Point, positioned the Opera house between myself and the SCG, then took the 30 second exposure. Timing was key to ensure no ferries came through the image, leaving light trails.
Tower Bridge Peak HourI took a few nice images of the Tower Bridge when visiting London in 2017, but I really wanted to get something different. Setting the camera right next to the roadside, while nearly getting taken out by a DoubleDecker, I took several 2-3 second exposures, at various angles. This was my pic for something 'different'.
HvítserkurA stunning basalt stack on the coast of north-west Iceland. One of those locations that was a 2 hour drive off the main road. Was really windy so we did our best to stabilise the camera to get this 1 second exposure. Another image that i prefer in B&W....moody!
The little house in the harbourOne of my first attempts at long exposure photography is one of my favourites. This little beach hut is at Watsons Bay, Sydney. Would have been nice to have some interesting clouds, the lovely purple sky nearly makes up for it.
