Hey guys, if you're thinking about purchasing a photo for Christmas - now's your chance! You can view my photos I have for sale on Flickr, or on my website. If you are in Australia, I can organise framing as well, contact me for that.

I'll only be able to print photographs for Christmas up to the end of November, so get in quick :)

About Shrubs
A shrub or bush is distinguished from a tree by its multiple stems and shorter height, usually under 5–6 m (15–20 ft) tall. A large number of plants can be either shrubs or trees, depending on the growing conditions they experience. Small, low shrubs such as lavender, periwinkle and thyme are often termed subshrubs.

About the Photo
My third (and hopefully final!) visit to Long Jetty. I've been looking for certain conditions, which haven't presented themselves on my first two visits - this one was not perfect, but close enough :)

About Rainforests
Rainforests are forests characterized by high rainfall, with definitions based on a minimum normal annual rainfall of 1750-2000 mm (68-78 inches). The monsoon trough, alternatively known as the intertropical convergence zone, plays a significant role in creating the climatic conditions necessary for the Earth's tropical rainforests.
Around 40% to 75% of all biotic species are indigenous to the rainforests. It has been estimated that there may be many millions of species of plants, insects and microorganisms still undiscovered in tropical rainforests. Tropical rainforests have been called the "jewels of the Earth" and the "world's largest pharmacy", because over one quarter of natural medicines have been discovered there. Rainforests are also responsible for 28% of the world's oxygen turnover, sometimes misnamed oxygen production, processing it through photosynthesis from carbon dioxide and consuming it through respiration.
The undergrowth in a rainforest is restricted in many areas by the poor penetration of sunlight to ground level. This makes it easy to walk through undisturbed, mature rainforest. If the leaf canopy is destroyed or thinned, the ground beneath is soon colonized by a dense, tangled growth of vines, shrubs and small trees, called a jungle. There are two types of rainforest, tropical rainforest and temperate rainforest.

About the Photo
Somersby Falls. Probably not the best day to photograph, as there was quite a bit of light filtering in from above the canopy.

About the Photo
Enjoying my ND filter at Anna Bay. This was taken about an hour before sunset. :)

About Anna Bay
Anna Bay is the name of a suburb, a town and a bay in the Port Stephens Local Government Area in the Hunter Region of New South Wales, Australia. It is immediately adjacent to the north-eastern end of Stockton Beach and the town provides one of the major entry points to the beach here. Anna Bay was named after the bay of the same name which is now located in the adjacent suburb of One Mile.
During World War II Stockton Beach was heavily fortified against a possible amphibious assault by Imperial Japanese forces and a line of tank traps was installed to prevent entry to the local area through the town. Many of the tank traps were removed after the war and now feature significantly around the car parking areas at the beach.
