Unfortunately that’s the last you’ll get from Liam, as we hit the road back to Sydney early on Wednesday morning.

Love your work Liam

Thanks guys, great photos.  Correct me if I'm wrong but those players appear to be enjoying themselves....is this permissible?

I don’t know how serious it was (if at all), but at one stage it got a bit willing between Salem and Jetta with them slinging each other around by their jumpers; Jetta’s yellow vest eventually being ripped off. Immediately after they stayed well clear of each other.

Get him to sneak down to Swans or Giants and take some action shots. With his quality the local press might pick em up, as well as providing us Dlanders with some comparative physique development examples.

Also on the trip back some chance to hone skills on some fairly modified environment. 

A friend who is a local professional photographer has entertained me with some of the best photos of local footy. One shot the best I have ever seen, seven players in the contest (no photoshopping) with really sharp detail, all in focus etc, spectacular.

He also shows many shots of birds in flight which are just as difficult to capture as sports shots he says.

He has some magnificent shots of the high country devastated after fires. The contrast between the burnt out blackened trees against a scorched earth are really fantastic.

He has always said it's a matter of being in the right place at the right time. It's not luck, it's research and always having his camera with him  and being alert to the surroundings and the circumstances.

Thanks mate. We’re both into photography and for the most part do just as you’re suggesting. On this visit to Melbourne we drove down the Princes Highway via my brothers’ places and sister’s place in the Bermagui area (they were all evacuated at one point), passing through the burnt out villages of Mogo, Cobargo and Quaamar and from there to Melbourne we had to divert along the Snowy Mountains and Monaro Highways due to East Gippsland being closed off. The devastation in the Snowys National Park was truly horrific but made for some amazing photo studies. In all my years, I’ve never seen anything like it. We didn’t photograph much of the damage to people’s houses/personal property, as that felt uncomfortably voyeuristic.

Thanks for your advice though... I will pass it on and thoroughly support your suggestions.

Here’s a couple of my shots from the Snowys...

Yeah , maybe I can see where Liam gets the talent.

I can say no more, look forward to both your contributions.

Go Liam

Go Dees!

I think Liam’s got a great eye for photography and am incredibly proud of what he’s already producing. I really did mean it when I said thanks for your advice and suggestions. Words of encouragement from yourself and others, are doing wonders for his self confidence; thanks so much.

Happy to help .

Let me know if your ever coming down Beechworth way. Plenty of available subject matter.

A friend has an Airbnb property Lockwood cottage, which is very reasonably priced family accomodation.
