Sunrise at Point Walter a picnic spot on the Swan River near Fremantle in Western Australia.
On a recent bike ride past this popular picnic spot I saw this superb sunrise. As we rode close to the jetty I couldn’t resist grabbing my smartphone and capturing it. The Swan River has some beautiful spots along it’s North and South Banks. Perth has such clear skies and bright light so it’s always best to capture these sort of scenes during the magic times of sunrise or sunset.
Last year, whilst in Iceland, I had the opportunity to go and look for aurora borealis, the northern lights. I’ve seen some pretty speccie images of them over the years, so I hoped I’d be able to match them. This image is one of several and the result of standing in -7C for a couple of hours. It is an amazing experience seeing the sky ebb and flow in surreal random patterns. One I’ll always remember.
Speaking of Iceland, Luminar Adventures are running an Iceland Photo Tour in August this year.

Organized in collaboration with the local tour operator and led by professional photographers, this tour offers unique opportunities to elevate your photography skills and take breathtaking shots you’ll want to frame on the wall. Organized in partnership with Europe’s leading tour operator Iceland Photo Workshops ehf.
If this is something that interests you (and it should if you can make it work) then go to Iceland Photo Tour book a spot in a normal way on the website and then when you’re asked who referred you, mention my name “NICK KATIN” and you’ll get a US$500 discount. Unfortunetly I’m travelling around my own country, Australia, at that time otherwise i would love to got back to Iceland – even though I’ve bben twice!!
