22.01.2022 This casual little guy has become quite a regular obstacle on a road near home. Many an early morning or late afternoon has seen him sitting on or near to the white lines looking like a victim in the making. As it turns out he is easy to avoid, as he doesn't flinch... just aim to miss him and he won't move, couldn't be bothered it seems. I pulled over two nights ago to see if he was as approachable on foot and sure enough he walked over to me only to lose interest within seconds before moving on. I remembered this time to ask my wife if she had encountered this little fella, her reply... "You mean Sid?" She'd seen him so often that she had already named him! I give you... Sid

19.01.2022 Art lovers And those who like my stuff! Big news and I’m excited! Our Lorne gallery is closing.... (How can this be a good thing?). I’m going surfing! It’s been over 15 years without a break and it’s now coming to an end. The realisation that time is getting away along with the news that later this year my wife and I are becoming grandparents for the first time, has jolted us into action and now lifestyle and adventure have become our priority. Photography and the Gallery have been good to us and whilst it hasn’t been an easy decision to close our space, the freedom of photographic creativity (not driven by the need to make a profit) is something that I am most excited about into the future. To those of you who have purchased my work within our galleries and to the many of you who return just to experience the changing display, a big sincere Thank You to you all. Limited releases will continue to be available online and by gallery representation - to be announced in the near future. Thank you to you all and See you out there! In the meantime, back to business Come and see us before we close at the end of July and grab yourself that special piece or gift you’ve been considering. Our Limited Edition Print prices are as firm as ever (but twist our arms on the price of the framing for a never to be repeated deal). But only until the end of July!

18.01.2022 Last week. A quick hop over to the Flinders Ranges for an air to air shoot for a local helicopter company... 14 hour drive to get there, a day and a half hanging my head out of a little Cessna then 14 hour drive home, all so that I could squeeze it into the 3 days that I had available. Too much driving, I know, but I did the sensible thing and pulled over a few times for some much needed power napping. What I hadn't planned for however, were the incredible number of kangaroos... during the wee small hours on what must be one of our most blood soaked stretches of highway, the "R M Williams Way". I hit three in the space of an hour (all hopped away uninjured) and must have seen fifty living and as many not so. I expect I'll be avoiding the midnight dash on the desert highways from now on... or at least until I have a decent deflection device up front. One of the last images from the shoot, before heading off to dodge roos! http://www.dielenbergphotography.com.au/

17.01.2022 Just back from an adventure in the Mentawai, west of Sumatra. Not a photographic trip specifically, but who can resist a great sunrise. The first morning, after the crossing. More to come... https://www.dielenberg.com.au

15.01.2022 Favorite Places We all have them, but what makes them so? One of mine is Castles... Castle Cove in Victorias Southwest Leaving the Otway ranges behind its the westbound Great Ocean Road travelers introduction to Southern Ocean. Known for the rugged cliff top vista, wildflowers, Blackboys (do we still call them that? No? Grass trees, perhaps) and millions of years of history being revealed in the dinosaur fossils stamped into the cliff walls, a must stop on one of the worlds great vehicular journeys. But, there is something else about the place that puts the jam in my donut and its not so easy to define. For me there has always been something other worldly about the relatively short stretch of coast between Cape Otway and Princetown, but felt more so here at Castles than anywhere else. The imposing cliff face, heavy sand, awesome (and often intimidating) surf all combined are impressive but there is something more. I recall, almost 40 years ago as a young teenager, making the drive for the first time through the Otways along the rough and dusty dirt road (The Great Ocean Road wasnt always that great, at least as far as the surface was concerned) and what struck me then and still holds now is the sense of isolation. These days the cliff top is regularly peppered with enthusiastic thumbs-up and peace-sign waving "selfie" obsessed visitors capturing that all important portrait during their five minute stop on the way to the Twelve Apostles, however a short walk down to the beach sees almost all left behind and a sense of solitude is restored. There is a definable difference between the attractive, yet populated coast East of the Cape and the rolling green dairy country that is revealed to the West, but less quantifiable is the contrast between the coastline South of the Surf Coast and that of the Southern Ocean. Clearly there is a geographical isolation from the nearest coastal metropolis but its more than that. The impressive landscape, powerful ocean, relentless prevailing winds and a mysterious something else all conspire to create a wonderful loneliness here at Castles and I love it. I guess the best way to describe it is to borrow a wonderful quote from the Australian film classic The Castle (a happy coincidence) Its the vibe of it! Where's your favourite place? Share the vibe!

14.01.2022 I dont do commissions well, most of the time that is Its not that I dont enjoy the occasional challenge of interpreting a clients vision, but unfortunately the requests that we receive from our gallery visitors more often tend to be a little vague and unrealistic. Can he photograph My house, Something from (insert town or place), Like that, but different? Ok so its not really all that bad, but a brief doesnt have be so Im not much of a mind reader, just ask my ...wife! So why ask me to consider such a request? Because sometimes Im surprised and motivated to accept a commission for reasons other than the obvious. One such moment sprung from a conversation in our gallery a few weeks ago. A wonderful lady shared her joy at finding just the right gift for her husbands upcoming 60th birthday, Princess Pier. As it turns out, he is in the construction business and was involved in the redevelopment of the site amongst other major Melbourne projects. When I received the call, asking if Id consider shooting a couple of other structures to complement the original purchase I jumped at it after all, its for the gentlemans birthday! Princess Pier was captured on a stormy morning, so the main consideration was to keep the conditions reasonably similar (not hard in a Melbourne winter, admittedly) and ensure that the composition was suited to presenting in the same square format. In the end Jim Stynes and Seafarers bridges. Subjects that would not normally move me, however I do know that they mean a great deal to those involved in their construction and this made the project far more satisfying than I would have expected. Im glad I said yes! Oh and happy birthday Sir.

14.01.2022 Chasing the light... A couple of weeks ago an increase in solar activity had Aurora Chasers a buzz. I had previously been unaware of the possibility of witnessing the phenomenon from the Oz mainland, but having heard about it this time thought I'd have a look. Night one was spent wishing away the cloud (that appeared to cover the Otway Ranges and me only). Seeing nothing between the cloud breaks after four hours I packed it in, only to discover that just before dawn the Auror...a had been revealed in all it's glory! Ok, the forecast suggested a final opportunity the following night the skies were clear and lets go again. Peaking at kp8 (Aurora forecast jargon, see link below) the chance of a spectacle was high, unfortunately not as high as the full moon. Great at illuminating the foreground at night, it seemed equally successful at diminishing the light show and by the time it had set the event had passed. This image shows the weak glow on the horizon... better luck next time. For those weather and storm junkies, here's something else to keep you up at night... http://www.aurora-service.net/ http://www.dielenbergphotography.com.au/

13.01.2022 Hasselblad Masters' Competition I've just received this correspondence and I'm very excited about it... "Congratulations! Your entry in the Landscape/Nature category has been progressed through to the 'Finalists' stage of the Hasselblad Masters 2018!... Once again, we've had a record number of entries (31500) for the competition and selecting just 10 entries to go through to the 'Finalists' stage has been a very difficult task, with the standard being extremely high. The next step is the Public Jury vote, which will take place on the Hasselblad website (www.hasselblad.com) until end October 2017. Photographers worldwide will be able to login and vote on the finalist images in each category, with the votes in each category then counting as the public vote for the main Masters Jury". So it's now up to the public vote for the month of October, before being re-judged by the panel for a final outcome to be announced in Jan 2018. Fingers crossed!
