Lake Tyrrell Abstract Fine Art Photography

Lake Tyrrell is a pink salt crusted basin in the Mallee district of Victoria, getting there takes about five hours driving from Melbourne, Australia. What attracts Lake Tyrrell to photographers is the low level of water which allows for spectacular mirror like reflections which only occur when there is no wind present.

During particularly wet and warm times of the year, the water at Lake Tyrrell turns pink. This is because of the red pigment that's secreted by pink micro-algae called red marine phytoplankton. The name Tyrrell comes from the Aboriginal word 'tyrille', which means sky or space.

I have visited Lake Tyrrell several times and on my last visit the pink micro-algae was very intense which was a stark contrast against the salt crust. Pointing the camera downwards I was able to capture abstract shapes and patterns as pictured below.

Throwback 2012 - Hurricane Sandy

On October 29th 2012 Hurricane Sandy hits New York City flooding streets, subway lines and cutting power in and around the city. This photograph of lower Manhattan without power was taken in the early hours of the morning after just as the sun began to rise. Remembering back to that morning I do not recall anybody else on the Brooklyn Bridge with a camera and tripod. This image was captured with a Nikon D800e DSLR and a 50mm lens mounted on a tripod comprising of 6 stitched images, a testament as to why I visited New York City in the first place; I was there to capture this amazing city and this moment will remain with me forever.

High Resolution Supersize Possibilities

A large piece of art creates a central focus point and leaves a memorable lasting impression. With a growing number of high resolution images the possibilities are endless. Using an Epson large format 60” art printer and combining 3 canvas panels each measuring 1 metre by 4 metre achieves a gigantic 3 x 4 metre primary focal point.

Designer Artworks - Created for your space using your surrounds.

Designer artworks are essentially prints selected from any of the limited edition black and white or monochromatic range having ample white negative space. This allows for textures and colours to be applied to the image usually taken from your current decor surrounds, the service is free and as you can see in the sample below the results can be truly rewarding. The 144cm x 144cm square canvas art print was customised to suit this luxurious loft interior.

Arabesque Duality

Antelope Canyon is a slot canyon in the American Southwest, carved by nature the interior is a marvel of beauty. Having wanted to visit this place for many years I finally achieved my goal in early 2019. The abstract nature of the canyon interior inspired Arabesque Duality One and Two, individually displayed or as a diptych the harmonious flow of the canyon is without a doubt natures art.

Discovery Bay Coastal Park Sand Dunes

Located 50km west of Portland Discovery Bay Sand Dunes are a hidden gem. There are 1800 hectares of dunes stretching along the Victorian coast all the way to the South Australian border. Here I found myself totally amazed to be able to walk across these dunes, often at times feeling as if I were in the Sahara Desert. Is is strongly advised that you keep sight of the Southern Ocean on your left as you begin your trek, the signed posts are not always guaranteed to guide you safely without getting lost. I know from experience that you can easily become disoriented as you search for the perfect shot.
