Mirror Image by David McMahon
I was walking towards Flinders Street Station in my lunch break on Friday 22 May this year when I saw this motorcycle illegally parked on a pavement. My interest in geometry stopped me in my tracks. I knew that part of the station would possibly be reflected in the right-hand mirror. I had to contort myself, leaning across the bike to line up this shot. I was very lucky because it was a cloudless blue sky and the quality of the light produced a crisp, clean reflection of the distinctive facade of the station, along with part of the green dome. I do not crop or post-edit my work in any way. What you see is exactly what I shoot. Shot at F8, 1/350 sec, ISO 200 and focal length of 125mm. Shot with a Pentax K100D fitted with my favourite lens, a Sigma 18-125mm. Featured in AUSTRALIAN LANDMARKS & ICONS, July 09. 114 – 7014

Take nothing but photos - Leave nothing but footprints by Travis Easton
This shot was taken in the immense dune field between Lake Wau Wauka and Iron Prince Reef in the Howe Wilderness Zone, Croajingolong National Park. It is just near Cape Howe on the Victorian, New South Wales border where the coast line takes a dramatic turn north resulting in the sand building up on this rock flanked headland. On this particular day I had arisen an hour before dawn and witnessed the white dunes absorb all the predawn colours before a spectacular ocean sunrise had me chewing through my film in awe. I wandered around the huge dune field taking advantage of the morning light that emphasised the ripples in the sand. After some inclement weather this part of the dune field had dried out unevenly resulting in sand bands of differing moisture content being blown in alternate directions. The result was this remarkable, and logic defying pattern. For more pictures of this area check out my Croajingolong gallery. 10% of all profits go to the Wilderness Society

Cassius Cray by David McMahon
It might look like I’ve been caught in a pincer movement – but you needn’t worry. The giant lobster / crayfish isn’t real. It’s just part of the facade of a seafood restaurant on Dandenong Rd, Melbourne. The cray is so large, so wide and so high up the building that it’s impossible to get a shot without any of the overhead wires intruding into the frame. I was lucky that the red was a great contrast with the dark blue of the restaurant’s facade. I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my work in any way. Shot in 2007, using a Pentax K100D with a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F8, 1/350 sec, ISO 200, focal length 78mm.

I remember summer ...... by Garth Smith
..... when the poppies dried and baked under the hot sun, the warm wind gently blowing through the slender stalks, desicating the heads in the paddock. / I love winter and the change of seasons, but I always get nostalgic for lazy summer days this time of year. / NW Tasmania Nikon D40 / Nikkor 18-200mm VR lens @ 200mm / ISO200 / F/11 / 1/200th of a second

Rainbow - The Gorge by Travis Easton
This shot took me somewhat by surprise. I had just spent two days hiking in Mt Buffalo National Park in Victoria, Australia with half of it off track. The previous day I had woken on Mt McLeod and hiked straight down over the granite slabs to Rollasons Falls near the base of the mountain. To give you an idea of how hard it was, it took me 7 hours to hike 3km, quite treacherous in spots too, but magnificent country and vistas. That morning I had re-ascended the mountain via ‘The Big Walk’ to my car then went back to the Chalet to say good bye to The Gorge. Having been to Bents Lookout numerous times before I saw no point in taking my camera which until this point had been my constant companion. Of course as soon as I got there this amazing rainbow appeared sending me scrambling back to the car for my camera, fortunately it was still there when I got back and this image was the result which ended up being my favorite for the trip. For more pictures from this area check out my Mt Buffalo gallery. To check out other mountain photographs see my Mountains gallery. 10% of all profits go to the Wilderness Society
