Kitchen Splash Back, that looks amazing! Earlier in the year I sold an image of Wollongong harbour to a customer who was wanting to use it in their new kitchen as a splash back. I thought it was a great idea and they were nice enough to allow me to come back and get some photos of the finished job. As you can see the black and white photograph suits the kitchen perfectly. I thought it was amazing. If you have any enquires feel free to email me : brad@chilby.com.au or click on the photo to the right which will take you to the contact us page. |

Bush fires at Maddens Plains above Coledale... On the 11th December a bush fire broke out near the freeway at Maddens Plains. It quickly headed eastward towards the edge of the escarpment at Coledale. The big guns were brought out to combat the fire with the enormous Southern Belle DC-10 air tanker which you can see in the photograph to the right. The pilots were incredible flying in very low and making numerous water drops over the fire front. The Southern Belle was assisted by numerous other fire fighting planes and helicopters including the Elvis chopper. It was an incredible sight to watch. This shot was captured from Coledale beach. |

Abseiling Down! After a steep climb to the base of a waterfall I bumped into some professional abseilers who were kind enough to show me the ropes of abseiling and also the very quick and sheer way to the bottom of this waterfall. It was a great experience and certainly something I could use on my endeavors to capture remote, unique and secluded locations.

An Incredible Adventure... In mid Spring I headed for the Snowy Mountains and went on a 36 km hike into some of the best alpine wilderness in Australia. The snow was still surprisingly deep at about 2 metres and shortly after leaving a cold front moved in dropping the temperature below zero. We hiked much of the way through a white out which reduced the photo opportunities but made for a great adventure. The trek was through snow, ice and rain and my snow gear kept me dry for half of the trek, after that my hands became blue and I was freezing cold all over. To add to the uncomfortable conditions whilst trying to cross an ice shelf above Lake Albina I wedged my tripod into the snow, but it came loose and slid down the mountain side for 300 metres finally landing upside down in the snow, after a steep climb I retrieved it and it was still in tact. It was an uncomfortable trek but a great and memorable adventure. Click on the photo to the right to view some of the photos from the trip. |

Golden Canola! In early October I headed west for Cowra and the Yass Valley to capture the beauty of the rolling hills painted yellow with Canola flowers that bloom from Mid September to early October. This is a trip I have planned each year for many years but something always comes up and I have had to cancel it. I made this year be just for one day, I headed out at 3.30am for the west and spent most of the day traveling around the Central Tablelands and taking in this incredible sight. I have added some of these photos to my Country New South Wales gallery. Click on the photo to the right to check them out! |

An Epic Adventure! When taking photographs it gives me a real buzz to adventure and explore new areas that few other people have visited, I tend to travel in remote areas and climb to the base of waterfalls to bring you my photos. On this occasion whilst out hiking off the track in a remote area by myself I heard two people talking, unbelievably out in the thick forest I teamed up with two Matt's from Nowra and we hiked to the bottom of a giant waterfall. It is one of the hardest hikes I've done in a long while and we returned exhausted, scratched, bruised, drenched and covered in mud, just on dark. But the adventure was well worth it and we are ready to tackle this trek again. Click on the photo to the right to see more and Click HERE to see more behind the scene photographs.

Flooding across the Shoalhaven region, August 2015. On the 24th of August 2015 the Illawarra region had significant rainfalls that produced flooding at Bulli, Tongarra, Jerrara Dam and Jamberoo but on the 26th of August I ventured down to the Shoalhaven area and the rain and flooding was much worse. The Shoalhaven river broke it's banks as did St Georges Basin and Lake Conjola. The area from Berry to Bomederry was like a massive lake and I took this photograph of St Georges Basin jetty a little further south, under water as you can see to the right with a pelican drying his wings. I'll have some more photos of the flooding up shortly. In the meantime click on the photo to the right to see this part of the world during nicer weather. |

Chilby Photography Photo in the Sydney Daily Telegraph. On the 15th of August 2015 I had one of my photos of the Oberon area published in the Daily Telegraph. The photograph was taken near Oberon in the NSW Central Tablelands during a July cold snap that dumped snow across the Oberon region and across much of the state. It is always great to see a photograph published in the newspaper and if you would like to see some of the others, please click on the photo to the right. |
