The majestic Wallaman Falls in full flow
Posted by Cameron in Just for Fun, Personal, Video on May 24th, 2010
I had the opportunity to make my first trip to Wallaman Falls today and even though I was covering a tragic BASE jumping death it still was great to see Australia’s highest waterfall with a single drop of 305m (1000ft). I spent a couple of minutes before I left shooting a quick bit of video on the Canon 5D MkII for you to see just how beautiful it is! If you would like to see it in 720P HD click on this link or you can see it in normal size below.

Too much rain foils angler’s best plans
Posted by Cameron in Personal, Photography, Video on February 1st, 2010
I was asked to photograph the first day of the barramundi season today so I thought I could make a great pic at Townsville’s Aplins Weir where there would normally have been up to 100 fisherman there to celebrate the opening of the season. The recent rains would normally have provided a perfect start to the season as plenty of food was swept down rivers and streams to the waiting barra. The problem however – the dam spill gates had to be opened and therefore instead of a gentle flow, we got 100,000 litres a second over the dam wall.
So, all I ended up shooting was a handful of pics that I got a bit carried way with in Lightroom and a video to show you what the flow was like. [Skip past the gallery for the video]

Ok, so maybe I’m a bit lazy but no-one has seen water like this flowing OVER the weir footbridge! Glendale Drive in Annandale got a show too! [click the pic to view fullsize]
