I have lived in Stawell for coming up 13 years. Surprisingly, even though I have lived here for that length of time, I haven’t run every street. Scrolling through Strava one day I saw one of my friend’s posts. She had set a challenge to run every street in her suburb. I thought what I

Autumn and spring have to be my favourite seasons to photograph in. Changing colours and softer light is a photographer’s dream. The Golden Hour is that magical time of the day when the light is warm, diffused, and directional. Wandering over to the Grandstand of the Stawell Gift, it was washed in this magical light.
Stawell has a rich history of gold mining. While the mine is currently active underground, there are many historical markers scattered throughout the town. Some are long gone and forgotten. For this week’s Tuesday image I jumped on my bike and headed to Three Jacks Reserve, just on the outskirts of town, and the start
Say what! 40! Does that mean there are only 13 Tuesdays left for the year? I have a feeling these last few weeks will travel very quickly. The sun was out, and I knew I wanted to spend some time out in the glorious sunshine. Being hit by a virus, however, has meant the last
Our town does have quite a few hidden gems. Being a local you can take for granted some of our historical markers. Like this magnificent sundial located in the rose garden of Central Park. Tuesday #38 Location: Rose Garden, Central Park, StawellLens: 40mmF/stop: 5.6Speed: 1/200ISO: 250
After dropping Miles off at swimming I decided to walk up to Moonlight Reserve. On the way was a man-made dam, with some ducks swimming. With the light fading, I captured these weedy reed flowers (I have no idea what they are). Tuesday #29 Location: Moonlight damLens: 40mmF/stop: 3.2Speed: 1/640ISO: 800
I was madly trying to finish my redo cardigan when Tom mentioned to go look at the sunset. It was then I realised, ooh I need a photo. Tuesday #28 Location: Ord StLens: 40mmF/stop: 11.0Speed: 1/100ISO: 500
This week’s photo breaks my 52 Tuesdays rule of using camera images only. Here’s why: After dropping Miles off at swimming, I made a quick detour to the corner of Clifton Ave & O’Callaghan St. You see on the corner is this intriguing outbuilding that was bathed in the warm glow of sunset. I snapped a
When work finished, I went for a run. I made it home just in time to grab the camera and take the kids to swim class. The light was fading fast, so while they were in the pool I wandered outside to take some snaps. Normally I have an idea of what I want to
Right now my ‘brownie’ is on charge, so next week this won’t happen (again). You see, I knew exactly what I wanted to photograph this week. But I didn’t think so far ahead to charge my remote for the camera so I could do some long exposures. I got 4 shots out of it before
