22.01.2022 The famous Blairmore Homestead a popular spot amongst photographers and tourists to capture the poplar lined driveway in Autumn. Located just south of the Stone Henge recreation reserve in Glen Innes. I got there a little late this year to get it in full colour but still pretty happy with this image. Please feel free to share.

22.01.2022 Good Morning, Danny from Ketley Photography and I went for a little drive yesterday down into Northern NSW and managed to score a couple of CG's each, from just south of Kyogle. Both these images are 2X 0.4sec exposures blended together. Would be great to get at least one more chase in before we start heading south again for Autumn and Astro photography. Have a wonderful weekend Cheers Chelle Visit NSW Higgins Storm Chasing... Australia.com Severe Weather Australia See more

21.01.2022 This afternoon I got to join in the festivities on the Gold Coast to watch a small part of the QBR (Queen's Baton Relay) from my hometown in Nerang. The atmosphere was alive and I managed to be in the right spot to capture the baton being handed over to Bridge Daley from 92.5 Gold FM.. Here a few shots from the changeover Cheers Chelle Gold 92.5

21.01.2022 "Lost In Time" From the air I managed to capture part of the Great Northern Railway line to Glen Innes, which is now just a part of the beautiful landscape down there, left to slowly deteriorate as the years pass.. Taken on the mavic pro on a section of line with a beautiful bridge and a crystal clear stream running through. I enjoy being able to get a different perspective that what I can normally get just from my camera.. Please feel free to share and I hope you enjoy a bri...ef history about this railway line Cheers Chelle A brief history: The Grand opening was held for this extension from Armidale to Glen Innes on the19th August 1884. The town grew in size due to mining and the rail line and within 2 years the next extension was built from Glen Innes to Tenterfield. The Great Northern Line was known as the main line to Brisbane with changing at the border town of Wallangarra until the North Coast railway line was built all the way to the Queensland border via the the semi coastal Casino in the early 1930's. The GNR was a great asset during WW2 because being inland it was secure from sea attacks and moved many military and items up the coast.. The NSW government in 1988 decided to remove all rail services to the Northern Tablelands and cut back these services to terminate at Tamworth instead.. This has sadly seen a lot of the GNR become an uncared and pretty much abandoned section. Passenger trains and goods trains serviced Glen Innes for 104 years until the NSW Government deemed the service no longer viable. Now it's just a distant memory to those who once saw it in action. Just another reason to check out this area. Destination Glen Innes Glen Innes Highlands Glen Innes Examiner Rest Point Group Visit NSW Australia.com DJI Australia and New Zealand #NewSouthWales

18.01.2022 Good Evening, Huge apologies for the lack of posts recently, but we have recently moved house and have only just gotten the computer up and running again.. Well who couldn't go for a holiday up to north Queensland and not make a sunrise trip to the beautiful Cape Hillsborough to see the kangaroos and wallabies feeding on the beach... I'll just simply leave this one here for you and call it "Bridget" Have a safe weekend... Cheers Chelle Nikon Australia.com Visit Queensland, Australia Cape Hillsborough Nature Tourist Park

18.01.2022 Good morning, I hope everyone is enjoying their Australia day long weekend. I was lucky enough to get a DJI Mavic Pro for Christmas from Danny at Ketley Photography. I haven't had a lot of chance to use it much yet but def look forward to taking some new pics from a different perspective. This was taken on our holiday on the Sunshine Coast the other week at Golden Beach. The low tide made for some interesting textures in the mangrove flats. Would love to know what you all th...ink of this. Cheers Chelle Visit Queensland, Australia Visit Sunshine Coast Australia.com DJI Australia

17.01.2022 Well it's certainly been a quiet time for me recently on the photo front. But I was booted into gear last weekend by a voice in my head who yelled at me ("Chelle get your ass out there right now") and try for a sunset. We ended up eventually at Lake Moogerah after what seemed like the long way round, but was treated to some lovely high based cloud right on sunset. Thanks to a great crew for an enjoyable afternoon Danny Ketley Lee Balfour Shane Ross Dan Mahony Gavin Connolly #untilwemeetagain Have a fabulous week ahead and grab those opportunities before they are gone. Cheers Chelle

16.01.2022 **Everyone needs a little love in their life** The iconic spot of *Heart Reef* inside the larger Hardy's Reef in the Whitsundays was definitely on my bucket list on our family holiday to Airlie Beach. Our last day we had an hour flight with GSL Aviation over the islands and outer reef. Such a stunning and special area to explore and we are grateful to everyone who made our stay the perfect family getaway.. This was shot using the nikond810 and a 70-200mm 2.8 lens. The fact w...e were shooting through glass in the plane I'm really surprised how clear the images came out. Hope you enjoy and feel free to share with friends Cheers Chelle Visit Queensland, Australia Australia.com Airlie Beach, Queensland

15.01.2022 "The power of the ocean amazes me. Water is one incredible element not to be messed with but respected and enjoyed." Good Evening everyone, My partner Danny from Ketley Photography and I spent the Easter long weekend in his hometown of Nelson Bay in the beautiful Port Stephens area NSW. We spent a few mornings with some local photographers Serena Birubi Images, Mick Stubbs, Shane Shanerussellphotography, Samuel Chew and this particular morning, climbed down the rocks at B...oat Harbour to a place aptly named The Ledge to shoot the morning waves and back splashes. This would have to be my favourite of the images I shot. I hope you enjoy it too and feel free to share or message me for prices of prints, canvases or acrylics.

13.01.2022 Hello everyone, yes I'm still around the traps. It seems like forever between posts and with a dismal storm season at least we had a cyclone in near vicinity the last week. So I dusted off the camera and headed to Snapper Rocks at 3.30am Saturday morning. Now I had some pics in mind as I knew all the surfers would be at Kirra so wanted too capture the actual beauty and shapes that these enormous waves were producing and some great morning light in between the dark passing cl...ouds. 6 and a half hours I shot, met a great older photographer who was shooting on a Leica medium format camera (yes I drooled a little ) lol. Anyway I walked away just on high tide and have finally sorted through the unique images and culled them down to the following pics. I really hope you enjoy my perspective and the images I created. Would really like to know which one is your favourite. Have a great week ahead Cheers Chelle See more

13.01.2022 "Under The Milky Way" Somewhere in the middle of a paddock we found this lonely tree that was calling out to be photographed.. Glen Innes is the perfect place for us to find some great subjects for shooting Astrophotography. The cold clear skies and little light pollution help bring the Milky Way out to its fullest potential. Hope you enjoy Please remember to like comment and share to keep me in your newsfeed...

12.01.2022 So it's like this, I go away for a week's holidays and had virtually cloudless skies the whole time.. So what to do? Buy a pretty shell at the Caloundra twilight markets and head out for some handheld pics instead. I do love the simplicity of this image on a lovely sunrise from just north of Moffat beach.. Settings for those interested Nikon D810... 24-70mm 70mm F11 1/400 sec Laying flat on the sand to get as low as possible I hope you enjoy this image as much I enjoyed getting wet by a rogue wave to get it lol Cheers Chelle Visit Sunshine Coast Nikon Australia.com Visit Queensland, Australia

11.01.2022 Wow what an amazing chase day out on the Darling Downs yesterday. Managed to stay ahead of this beast near Jondaryan which later went on to drop some huge hail in it's wake.. This is the first time I have captured lightning handheld without the use of a tripod and was just a little stoked to get it...

11.01.2022 Good evening everyone, Please excuse the lack of recent posts.. Life and work tends to get away from us all sometimes but there was no way I was missing heading to the Glen this weekend for some Autumn love. Glen Innes in the New England Highlands is always a favourite spot of ours during Autumn and Winter for photography. This weekend they hosted the annual Celtic festival and the town was alive with activities. We took off early Sunday morning before light towards Stonehen...ge about 5km south of Glen Innes.. This is def a fav place of mine, The natural granite stone formations and the stunning poplars and maple trees are just coming alive right now.. Tiny bunny's jump in front of us as we made our way in and a light frost covered the ground. We waited for the sun to come over the horizon and just light the trees up nicely, casting a golden glow over the landscape. This was taken with the DJI Mavic pro drone. The first of several images I will share with you.. I hope you enjoy this image and feel free to hit the share button and spread the love. How does Autumn make you feel?

11.01.2022 Good evening everyone, Yes it's been a while between posts for me but Danny and I managed to head south again over the weekend for another Astro night... We woke up to -9.3 on Saturday morning in Glen Innes and headed out for some frost pictures and to do some scouting for that night. We met a local farmer from Amos-Vale Herefords who had this great old car on his property and was kind enough to let us shoot it that night.. We tried to do a little research into the ute itself... and turns out it was made by The Standard Motor Co and is called a Vanguard. I'm not sure what year model it is but it made the perfect foreground for something little different.. A huge thankyou to Mark for allowing us to use his property and to The Rest Point Motel for having us and making sure our electric blankets and heater were turned on when we arrived.. Settings for those interested Nikon D810 Iso 3200 14mm F2.8 20 sec exp Foreground lit up with a quick flash of a torch.

09.01.2022 WOW Well what started out as a late Sunday drive turned into one beautiful show for most of south east Qld yesterday.. We went to Beaudesert and intercepted this storm cell as it made its way towards Ipswich and Brisbane.. Only managed to get a few shots before I captured this CG and then got out of there quick smart as the rain and winds started.. We drove as far as we could until we couldn't see and took cover in a farmers driveway and waited it out. Was a perfect end to ...a great weekend after spending Saturday down at The Broadwater Parklands for the "Under The Southern Skies" concert..

09.01.2022 Good Morning everyone, Well I managed to dust off the camera yesterday for the first time in a couple of months and headed out for a short little storm chase, It wasn't the best set up but came across a nasty storm in Beaudesert on my way home.. I headed north to get in front of it and then down a dead end road where I knew I was not going to be in the direct line of the hail that dumped down.. This is a 7 image stitch of where we ended up, looking south east towards Beaudese...rt of the cell that went through.. Earlier my daughter and I caught up with Nettie from FRAMED FOREVER FOTOS and her kids in Kalbar, was so good to be back out with my chase friend and look forward to catching up for more fun this season.. Now its almost the weekend guys and Saturday is looking good for another chase. Just remember if you are heading out. Safety first at all times.. Cheers and have a great day Chelle

07.01.2022 So here's a few more lightning pics from last Sunday at Deception Bay and sunset from Bribie Island. Please enjoy Cheers Chelle

07.01.2022 "Starry Nights" Now this is what I have been waiting for since last Astro season. To get out in clear, dark skies, away from people and just be at one with the night.. We headed to Tenterfield NSW and found a whole new place to explore on Saturday night. Filled with amazing Granite boulders for km's. It's truly amazing just how dark it is and how bright the stars are. I'm so impressed with the whole New England region and what it has to offer photography wise. This image was... taken approx. 9:30pm as the Milky Way core was well and truly up over the horizon. If you look closely you can see one of the Magellanic Clouds as well to the lower right of the image. I just want to take this opportunity as well to thank all my followers new and old who have supported my photography over the years.. I look forward to sharing more of my experiences through my images for a long time to come. If you would like to purchase this image or any of my landscapes feel free to message me and we can talk. Have a wonderful week ahead Cheers Chelle Destination Tenterfield Visit Tenterfield Visit NSW Australia.com New England High Country Nikon #NewSouthWales

07.01.2022 Well hello everyone, I can't believe its been over 6 months since I posted here. I have been takings pics when I get the chance but more people pics which I tend to leave off this page. Anyway, took a leisurely drive out to the scenic rim this arvo to try to catch a storm with Danny, Ketley Photography Jeff & Sara Higgins Storm Chasing, and Nettie FRAMED FOREVER FOTOS, we ended up at South Maclean looking towards Beaudesert and managed to score 1 little bolt for my efforts. I hope you have all been well and will try my best to get back behind the camera this year for more images. Cheers Chelle

05.01.2022 Lack of posts lately, well I'm blaming COVID and that my story and I am sticking with it lol. We made a mad dash to Emerald Lakes yesterday after spending the afternoon with family. I was hoping the sky would fire a bit more than this but we can't always be blessed with the perfect sunset. I was just happy to dust the camera off and fire a few shots off.

05.01.2022 Good Evening, Well if yesterdays lightning show was any indication as to what our storm season will be like this year, I'm super excited.. But I'm not so sure the people in that plane were as excited lol.. I didn't realize I had captured a plane in my shot until I put the pictures onto the computer this arvo.. After a relaxing afternoon spent with family for my daughters birthday we found ourselves at Deception Bay overlooking the Redcliffe Bridge. We managed to capture quite... a few close CG's before the rain set in. What do you think the people in the plane were thinking?

01.01.2022 Good Afternoon everyone, well it's been a very quiet year this year on the photography front for me. My day job just takes up so much of my time these days. I do try to get out when I can though.. I would like to wish you all a safe and wonderful Christmas and new Year. Hopefully I will be able to make more time next year for what I love doing. Anyway we ventured out today towards Beaudesert and managed to score this Pano of the severe storm that was heading straight towards the Gold Coast and my house in Nerang, which copped golf ball sized hail. Luckily we got no damage. Hope to see you all again before the new year. Cheers Chelle

01.01.2022 First time shooting split shots with my GoPro and KNEKT underwater dome port.. I must say, not really seeing what you are shooting is definitely trial and error but a lot of fun at the same time.. This is a shot from Hardy's Reef, a two hour boat ride from Airlie Beach to the outer reef on the Whitsundays. We had a fabulous day out with the guys from Cruise Whitsundays, if you are in Airlie beach give this full day trip a go, you won't regret it..

01.01.2022 With every good late afternoon storm is the chance of an awesome sunset. Well that's what we were treated to last Sunday out at Beaudesert. This is actually a reverse sunset as we got treated to a double rainbow and a few stray crawlers as the storm continued on its journey. Found this lone tree, which who knows if it will be here next year or not and lined the rainbow up in the middle. I took prob 40 or so images and did manage part of a crawler through the image so walked ...away pretty damn happy. Please enjoy this image and feel free to share directly from my page.
