Top Ten Images on 2012

After viewing a fellow photographers top ten images of 2012, I thought it would be a good idea to look back on my own work this year and select what I believe are my top ten.
If you have a different opinion, I am all ears and you may contribute with your selection. Either top image, top 5 or top 10.

Year in Review.

My year started very busy. My full time job involves bush firefighting, and the start of 2012 brought with it very warm temperatures and with those warm temperatures came bushfires. My photography had to be put on the back-burner for a little bit, but anyone that knows me would know that I cannot go without my camera for any length of time. Even when I travelled to remote fires, my camera was always close by. Protected of course.

As the fire season slowed down, my photography sessions increased. This year had me travel to Bali 1) to find a wedding venue for myself and my gorgeous fiancΓ©, and 2) photograph the stunning landscape.
I was successful in fulfilling both tasks, with our wedding booked for June this year, while I also managed to take a few photographs of the Balinese landscape.

The year has also seen me start a time-lapse project that has seen me buy some extra equipment to enhance what I hope to be a great mini production. More to follow with the project in the coming months.

I also attended the Ninety Degrees 5, South West Light, exhibition and seminar held in Yallingup and Busselton. I drew a lot of inspiration from the couple of days I was in the south-west attending the seminar. The photographer who inspires me most with his work, Christian Fletcher, is apart of this collective of Australia’s top landscape photographers. So I was in awe just to be listening to what Christian had to say as well as the whole group. I didn’t get to the first day of presentations as I shooting a wedding in Bunbury, but I was so glad to be able to attend the Sunday session. This trip did allow me to head to the very photogenic and arguably the most shot destination in the south-west, Sugarloaf Rock. I have never made the trip south to capture it, but I was glad I did. I also visited Meelup Beach, another spot that I can see myself heading to again and again.

Plans for the Coming Year

First things first, my wedding in June. πŸ™‚
But in regards to my photography, I will continue my time-lapse project, with trips down the south-west and north-west on the cards. And I wouldn’t rule out a couple of overseas trips. Maybe a NZ trip sometime later in the year, maybe a bit further abroad, if I play my cards right.

I want to thank all my followers to this blog, and to my photography. Photography is such a big part of my life, and to have people wanting to share that with me is truly amazing. So I thank you all. Heres to a great 2013.

  1. Hi Jordan! Nice work πŸ™‚ – my favourites of this series would have be #2 and #7- absolute stunners. Also- you won’t regret a trip to NZ πŸ™‚ Please, please go to my favourite place Glenorchy near Queenstown- absolutely gorgeous. Also, just in case you haven’t already, go on over and check out Dylan Toh’s work- everlookphotography.com – I basically copied their whole NZ itinerary when I planned my photography trip! Always enjoy looking at your work, good luck for 2013! Imogen

    • I am a big fan of Dylan’s works. He and his wife take some breathtaking landscape images.
      I am keeping all my fingers and toes crossed for a trip to NZ this year. The south island sounds like the place to be and I have some places already in mind. Glenorchy is certainly one of them πŸ™‚

      • I wish you many afternoons of planning! You can never be in one spot for too long is my only advice… we were very unlucky with the overcast weather- I only got one nice sunrise and no sunsets (which is apparently unheard of) but it truly is an amazing place.
