LANDSCAPE photography | When the SKY Lets You DOWN | PHOTOGRAPH the STILLNESS

In this week’s landscape photography episode, I take you on a journey to Lake Bonney—one of my all-time favourite locations and a place that never fails to stir the creative spirit. The 2.5-hour drive was filled with promise, as billowing white clouds drifted above, creating hopes of dramatic skies. But as fate would have it, those clouds vanished the closer I got to the lake, leaving behind a vast stretch of unbroken blue sky. Undeterred, I leaned into minimalism—choosing to embrace simplicity rather than chase complexity that wasn’t there. Lake Bonney’s real magic, after all, lies in its iconic tree stumps rising from the water—quiet, sculptural forms that offer striking compositions no matter the conditions. With that in mind, I set about crafting a series of long exposure images, ranging from 25 seconds to a full minute. My aim was to isolate each subject—tree after tree—allowing the stillness of the lake to contrast with the subtle movement of water and light. Some scenes I rendered in soft colour palettes, others in punchy black and white to highlight mood and shape. Just as I was preparing to wrap up, the sky revealed an unexpected gift—the Belt of Venus arching across the horizon. It was a moment of sheer tranquillity that stopped me in my tracks. The lake, silent and powerful, invited reflection. Sometimes, it’s not the dramatic conditions we hope for that yield the best work, but the quiet ones that compel us to slow down, see more clearly, and truly connect with place. I specialise in large format print focusing on creating fine art images best viewed on a wall. Do you need audio for your multimedia projects?
