Cedar Creek, Queensland, Australia. This is the same spot as my Whirlpool photograph but this time the day after we had roughly four inches of rain. The creek has gone down a little from yesterday, but is still rushing by at a faster and highe…

Cedar Creek, Queensland, Australia. Taken around dusk as this spot is terribly exposed for daylight shooting. Rushing Past is now available as framed, mounted or canvas prints.

Another whirlpool spotted in the creek yesterday, this one next to a spot where the water rushes out from amidst the rocks. I took a closer crop of the whirlpool and jetstream but felt the wider context shot was more pleasing to the eye. Also pud…

This time with the polarizer twisted around to minimize the surface reflections. You get a completely different feel to the photo.

Cedar Creek still flowing fast after the rains. I only took twelve shots around here as I was being eaten alive by mosquitoes.

We've had quite a bit of rain recently (9 inches over two days) - very unseasonable. Anyway, I trundled down to the creek a couple of days after the rain stopped and took a few shots, this being one of them.

Today I ventured far up Cedar Creek, scrambling over rocks, through thorny plants and mud to reach a once very frequented waterhole and waterfall that has been closed to the public for about 10 years. This is the scene that greeted me when I got there.
