A few miles from Windsor Castle along the Long Walk you will come to the grounds were deer run wild. I managed to wake up at the crack of dawn on a cold foggy morning. The stars had aligned for me this morning and I was lucky to come out with a great experience of seeing and hearing the stags roar like prehistoric creatures. Also getting a few snaps along the way as per usual.

Taken 7 years ago on the dance floor of the old Crowne Plaza in Adelaide. I recall it was a 44° day and I've never been so hot shooting a wedding before. Hence I collapsed on the dancefloor, but never fear, I jumped back to life and I came back to finish off the night. All in a day's work.

Early mornings have never looked so good.

Rise and shine

Need another adventure stat. Here we Mt Coonowrin and Mt Beerwah of the Glasshouse mountains as seen from Mt Ngungun. Stunning treks and views to boot.

Afternoons in Currumbin watching the sunset.

That early morning surf. I've never done it but it looks like it would be refreshing.

@ Mooloolaba, Queensland

I feel for my Victorian friends that are going back into lockdown. Still take your camera out and busy creative around the house.

Up at the crack of dawn with about 100 surfers surfing Burleigh. Today I didn't ride instead opted to take out the long lens and get some pics. Taken with a 70-200ml with varying shutter speeds to get the illusion of movement through the surf.

@ Lorne, Victoria

Jonny Ratke Photography updated their business hours.

With all the wet and foggy weather we've had in Lorne the last few weeks, we were praying and dancing to the rain gods everyday leading up to this. Yesterday didn't disappoint with an overcast day, a slight breeze and not a drop of rain in sight. Starting the day with a first look for James as He came out of the Lorne Hotel and saw Sammy looking amazing on the stairs. We then making our way to multiple locations around Lorne to get the Bridal photos. The ceremony overlooking Shelly Beach and went off without any drama as we then made our way to the Lorne Hotel where the reception was held on the top floor at the Lorne View. Such a great day with some great people.

The colours coming through the cracks in Lower Antelope Canyon at midday is absolutely stunning. A must see attraction if you're in the USA

Congratulations to Rob & Annie on their wedding day today. We couldn't have asked for a better day, sunshine and not a cloud in the sky. Also the reception is in a brewery....I am in heaven !!

All smiles and not a care in the world when you're with the one you love.

Bioluminescent Algae at Eastern View last night. So much fun watching the waves light up. Wont get sick of seeing this anytime soon.

Waiting for the warm weather to settle in so I can have more days like this
