While recently holidaying in Pemberton, we took the opportunity to take some updated family photos, as well as some photos of our children, as I wanted an updated photo for in my wallet and to share with the extended family.
These photos were taken when we visited the Dave Evans Bicentennial Tree near Pemberton (some claim this tree is Australia's scariest tourist attraction).

With some cloud cover in the sky, and the tall trees providing some shade, the lighting here was great for photography, with the diffuse light providing a good opportunity for some group photos and portraits, including these photos of my four children.

After a brief break from blogging in the last few months of 2015 due to work, work-related travel and other commitments, I'm back for 2016 with plans for plenty of blog posts!

I'll start the year with a portrait of my youngest daughter, looking very contemplative while sitting on a swing, and shot with the fantastic Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art series lens.

This was taken during a recent holiday down in Pemberton, where we spent a week and a half with some good friends, relaxing, sight-seeing, and having a great time. I'll be posting more photos from our time in Pemberton in coming weeks - of the kids, local birds, and landscapes from the area.
