In the soft morning light

My name may not be famous in the world of photography

To capture it at its most photogenic

It was a moment that filled me with a sense of awe and gratitude

Pot of Gold - Mornington Peninsula VIC

McCrae Swimmers, Mornington Peninsula, VIC Western Australia In the soft morning lightTHE STORY The Mornington Peninsula looked stunning that summer, with clear blue skies stretching overhead. Between Christmas and New Year, during a rare 35 degree heatwave in Melbourne, I decided to capture its beauty from the air. I chartered a small plane and, by mid afternoon, was flying over Port Phillip Bay. The beaches were packed with families, surfers, and sunbathers enjoying the hot weather, while the clear water revealed fish swimming below.
