When I Look At You
One night back in May 2020 I ventured out to Stockton Sand Dunes for the first time with some friends for some epic astrophotography.

Perfect Places
On a visit to Newcastle one day a long time ago, I captured this reverse sunset turning the clouds pink above the starting blocks of Merewether Ocean Baths.

Come in Closer
At the end of May last year, I went to Stockton Beach in Newcastle to capture the tank traps exposed by the tides, but only managed to get the tops of them.

Orinoco Flow
A subdued sunrise at Stockton Beach meant I had to look harder for areas of interest - so I focused on the texture of the water, the sand, and the clouds.

While up in Newcastle I was struck by the design of the Merewether Ocean Baths Pavilion and how it looked under a textured, cloudy sky.

Lights For You
Under a sky filled with stars, we didn’t so much as explore Stockton Sand Dunes as we stood beneath the sparkling little lights, staring in awe.

It was a hot and humid night in Newcastle, and after not much sleep the sun finally peeked above the horizon above the Canoe Pool.
