I had the pleasure of taking care of Islay, a super sweet and gorgeous Rottweiler, for 2 weeks! I forgot what it meant to have a dog and there's no better feeling than seeing a dog slowly trusting you and taking care of as much as you take care of them Islay is extremely well educated but still a big pup full of energy, playing tug of war with her was not an easy task Thank you @nomada.digital and Tilman for letting me and @gm.giada take care and play with her!! . . . . . . . #australia #dog #rottweiler #beach #water #ocean #victoria #melbourne #puppy #rottie #dogs #dogsofinstagram #dogsofaustralia #dogoftheday #doglover #blackandwhitephotography #aussie #greatoceanroad #road #trip

It's not easy to leave everything you've built to seek something better. To constantly feel restless, underachieving, never satisfied and like you don't belong anywhere. Those feelings will probably never go away, but they are also the drive to look for new challenges and adventures. There is no right or wrong in life, whatever you choose, that is YOUR life and no one else's. Happiness comes in many forms, it could be anywhere and happen at any time. It certainly takes courage to leave the comfort zone you built, but it's even harder to admit to yourself that something along the way didn't go the way you planned and it's time to change. This too might not end up as you planned, who knows, but even then it'll be a new discovery, and one less path to explore! Happy to have my lost twin sister @gm.giada with me for a little bit! To more adventures, to more risk taking and unplanned life choices!

Not the massive spiders, or the mossies, or the snakes or the distance will ever keep me from enjoying another night under the rising Emu constellation! Falling asleep while watching the stars moving, glistening, shooting across the night sky, is one of the best experiences the Australian outback has to offer! @gm.giada Shot on a Sony a7R III with a Tamron 17mm-28mm f2.8. A total of 337 frames, all shot at 30" 17mm, f2.8 ISO6400, 1" interval between shots so a total of about 4hrs. . . . . . . #australia #stars #trail #nationalpark #national #time #lapse #timelapse #night #milkyway #milky #way #galaxy #galaxies #star #constellations #camping #nightsky #astronomy #astro #astrophotography #sony #nsw #victoria #outback #camping #tent #roadtrip #trip

We spotted this cute bearded dragon on the way to the walls of china platform in Mungo! Bearded dragons are native Australian lizards that mostly live in deserts and arid woodlands!

It's hard to explain the feelings and the thoughts going through my head when seeing this shot. The vast emptiness filled by the fiery sunset, the couple taking in the stunning view, the car's door open and ready for the next adventure. I don't really know what I'm doing with my life, or where I'm going, but I sure know how to enjoy it while looking for a purpose.

[Repost because Instagram decided to post the same photo twice!] The pillars are a little hidden gem down the Mornington Peninsula, right after Mt. Martha's beach! A little hidden path just off the road will lead you to these gorgeous limestone cliffs.

Given how dangereous the ocean can be, Australia came up with a clever solution: Ocean pools! These pools can be found anywhere but mostly in NSW. They fill up during high tide and get cleaned regularly during low tide. Since the water comes straight from the ocean, you can find all sorts of sea creatures in the water! It feels like swimming in the ocean while being mostly safe and splashed by the waves! . . . . . . . #australia #ocean #pool #rockpool #beachvibes #australia_shotz #mornington #dronefly #sunset #sunset_captures #djimavic #sapphirecoast #coast #dronestagram #dronephotography #mavic #dji #mavicair #beaches #australiagram #sunset_lovers #summer_vibes #summer #sunset_ig #drone #drones #dronesdaily #beachlife #beach #air

More wildlife photos! I had never seen a pelican in my life until I came to Australia! These specifically are Australian Pelicans and they are some absolute units with a wingspan up to 2.5m! Good thing these ones don't hang around trying to steal food like the bin chickens or the seagulls. They are not very rare but always a sight when they fly by, oh and some of them have blue feet! . . . . . . #australia #pelican #bird #ocean #nsw #photography #flying #seabirds #sea #wildlifephotography #wildlife #aus #sony #a7 #beach #coast #central #waterfront #water #pelicans

Cockatoos are usually white with a yellow crest but did you know there are many different species of cockatoo? Red and yellow tailed black cockatoos and even pink cockatoos! They are not as common and as unphased by humans as the white ones, I have tried many times to photograph them up close but they are rather shy and fly away immediately! This Yellow tailed black cockatoo was enjoying its breakfast in the Blue Mountains! The popular belief is that when black cockatoos flying around and scream it means that the rain is not too far away! From my experience, this theory seemed to be true! . . . . . . . . #australia #roadtrip #wildlife #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #bird #parrot #trip #road #naturephotography #photography #nature_perfection #nature_lovers #nature_shooters #sonya7lovers #sony #a7 #sonya7 #naturelovers #sony #natureza #nature #intags #naturelover #cockatoo #blackcockatoo #yellow #tail #bluemountains

"Glass" - Early morning, thunders from a far away storm still echo in the distance, as I step out of the car the grass shakes off the rain onto my feet, it feels good to stretch. The sun is now shining beyond the cliff as the rays stab the incessant emerald waves. It's just another day and yet, it's not just another morning. . . . . . . . . #australia #ocean #sea #wave #storm #morning #sun #nsw #roadtrip #road #camping #blackandwhitephotography #beach #blackandwhite #black #sony #sonyphotography #a7 #a7r #gmaster #pacific #eastcoast #car #trip

Koalas suffer the heat too hey! While koalas are not extremely rare in Southeastern Australia, it's definitely not everyday that you see them this close during the day! They sleep up to 18hrs a day and almost always on the branches at the top of Eucalyptus trees! Some trivia about koalas: Many of them have Chlamydia (not the same strain as the human one), they are "smooth brained" so really not the sharpest tool in the shed, their teeth have not adapted to their diet and so their teeth will eventually ground down which means they won't be able to eat leaves anymore and will eventually starve to death. Koalas is an Aboriginal term that means "no drink" as it was initially thought that they do not drink and only get their water from the gumtree leaves. . . . . . . . #koala #marsupuial #gumtree #eucalyptus #wildlife #rainforest #ocean #victoria #melbourne #roadtrip #gmaster #sony #wildlifephotographer #nature #australia #caves #nightphotography #naturephotography #australiagram #greatoceanroad

Walking at night in a rainforest surrounded by little blue-ish glowing dots is most definitely a magical, esoteric experience! Not many people know about them but they can be seen all around Australia and NZ: Springrbrook, the Blue Mountains and the notorious Waitomo cave and of course the Great Ocean Road! Some trivia: Glowworms are bioluminescent larvae of the fungus gnat, a tiny flying insect similar to a mosquito but often non-biting and not as annoying! Arachnocampa is the name of the gnat genus with a bioluminescent larval stage and they are endemic to Australia and New Zealand! The larvae glow to attract preys into its threads which you can see in the pics! . . . . . . . #glowworms #australia #victoria #melbourne #greatoceanroad #nature #greatoceanroad #australia #cave #intags #longexposurephotography #australiagram #worms #victoria #rainforest #longexposure #glow #ocean #nightshooters #naturephotography #caves #nightphotography #night

The HMVS Cerberus is a breakwater shipwreck resting in Half Moon Bay since 1926! The wreck is actually less than 200m from the shore and lots of swimmers and paddle boarders pass by it every day! It's definitely worth a visit, and Half Moon Bay sports some of the most picturesque cliffs and waters just 20km from Melbourne's CBD! . . . . . . . . . #Australia #victoria #melbourne #dronedaily #dronefly #droneoftheday #beaches #drone #dronesdaily #djimavicair #drones #djimavicpro #droneofficial #aerialphotography #mavicair #shipwreck #beach #dronegram #dronestagram #dronelife #aerial #dronephotography #beachphotography #mavic #djimavic #intags

Boxing fight in the oval! I don't know much about Aussie football but this matches what I've heard of it! Male kangaroos often fight to establish dominance, and they use their tails as a fifth leg, which is actually extremely strong and can support their whole weight! When they are not kicking, their fights are actually rather funny to watch. But don't be fooled, they pack a punch too (see the 4th photo). Seeing that alpha roo looking at me, I the same concerned look as the little joey in the last pic! . . . . . #australia #wildlife #sonyalpha #sony #kangaroo #wildlifephotography #sonyimages #sonya7iii #sonyalphasclub #sonyphotography #wildlifeplanet #australiagram #australian #seeaustralia #wildlife_perfection #sonya7ii #wildlifeonearth #wildlifephotographer #sonya7 #australianartist #wildlifeaddicts

The whales were not the only treat of this weekend! After driving hours to find the best, darkest spot to look south, we were eventually treated to a wonderful display of the Aurora Australis! As an X-class solar flare ejected coronal mass from the Sun, we were expecting some of it to hit earth and trigger the southern lights. Southern lights are extremely unpredictable, even more considering the need of a clear view south, with no clouds or light pollution. The display was not as impressive to the naked eye as it was in Tasmania in 2019 due to the latitude, but it was visible and magical nonetheless! 🌌 . . . . . . . #southernlights #aurora #australis #sky #astrophotography #astro #nightsky #night #stars #milkyway #australia #ligths #auroraaustralis #gippsland #victoria #sony #alpha #a7

Freedom! After the longest lockdown in the world and over a year of postponing it, we finally went on our whale watching cruise at Wilson's Prom! The wait was more than worth it!

Forgotten Photos - Part 1 The worst thing about lockdown is how it absolutely destroys my creativity. I took these photos back in April 2021, but I was just never in the mood to edit them. The milky way doesn't get any clearer than this! Its core is fully visible between March and October (in the southern hemisphere) so April was the perfect time to enjoy the view in the Australian outback! That green glow is the Aurora Australis!! Despite Mungo being far away from the magnetic south pole, the G2 solar storm of April 2021 made it so that the Aurora was visible at latitudes far away from the magnetic poles! Definitely one of those "once in a lifetime" shots! . . . . . . . #stars #milkyway #milky #astrophotography #sony #aurora #australis #auroraaustralis #southern #lights #mungo #desert #australia #outback #nightsky #night #sky #a7 #a7r #mirrorless #tamron #astro

A few months ago I tried my hand again at some event/portrait photography! I had the honour to take @randradep Ronny's PhD graduation photos :) Ronny is an extremely talented guy and his PhD research topic was accessibility in virtual worlds! In one of his works he developed an echolocation (yes you read that right!!) based system to enable people with visual impairments to explore virtual 3D worlds! I had the pleasure of meeting him at Uni and chatting about a plethora of topics, sometimes in English, other times in Italian or Spanish! In bocca al lupo per il futuro Ronny! 🎓👉 . . . . . . . #portrait #phd #sony #a7riii #sony #graduation #event #photography

A moon so bright it casted shadows on the ground! Glad to be back at Mungo, this time with a great company! I'll never have enough of this desert. Just 6hrs from Melbourne awaits another world with alien landscapes and an incredible night sky! This is an HDR shot of the moon. Two exposures edited in lightroom and then layered and merged in photoshop. Shot on A7RIII at 200mm f2.8, at 1/125" and 1/3" . . . . . . . . #sony #a7 #moon #moonhdr #hdr #mungo #australia #outback #night #moonlight #light #stars #sky #sonyalpha #national #park #gmaster #photoshop #lightroom

Another take at some self-portraits in a very rudimental photography studio. It's also a way to look at this photo and remind myself that I can get in shape if I want to! Shot on a Sony A7R iii and a 70-200mm g-master at 112mm 1/30s f/4.5, edited the RAW file in Lightroom and then removed the backtground in Photoshop and added a soft radial gradient instead. You can see the "studio" in the last photo, I originally used my bike light and stuck it to the wall with some blue tack to get the red light but it was too harsh and red, I borrowed this LED bar from the lab and it's much softer and consistent! . . . . . . . #sony #a7 #portrait #selfportrait #self #shirt #light #redblue #rdd #blue #led #phorography #gmaster #70200 #studio #led #lights

Driving alone through Australia has its pros! 🌌 Once you pass the thought of "I'm alone in the middle of nowhere, at night and with no reception" there is only one way and that is up, where the milky way's core is! For once there were no mozzies around so I left a door open and fell asleep watching the milky way moving over my head (you can actually see the stars moving if you pay attention!). . . . . . . . #australia #milky #way #milkyway #nightsky #astro #astrophotography #night #sky #stars #photography #landscape #sony #tamron #sonyphotography

A LONG weekend road trip brought me to this beautiful national park in NSW. Far away from everything, no reception, water or food in over a 100km radius. Just otherworldly landscapes, kangaroos, emus and red sand bushland as far as the eye can see. From 47° and extreme UV levels to a 14° night and 65kph winds shaking my car in the empty campgrounds, it was definitely an experience, a bit crazy but a liberating one nevertheless! Car and bed approved for more solo trips to come! #Australia #Outback #nsw #mungo #drone #dji #mavic

Puhskar and its sacred lake. Just like in the temples, shoes are off limits pretty much all around the lake and the city but that did not stop us from walking around and watching the sunset while the aarti ritual started. It borders the Thar Desert, and with camels, bazars, rituals, temples, wonderful people and peculiar food, I can see why it's a pilgrimage stop for many. Sorry for the spam btw, but the sights are just too much! . . . . . #pushkar #pushkarlake #lake #aarti #temples #sunset #india #rajasthan #thardesert #desert

I have visited quite a few Asian countries by now but I swear there is nothing quite like India, and I was prepared to the shock. Delhi was the first stop and traffic was straight up fascinating, honks are still echoing in my head. No rules on the street and still, somehow, not an accident, just amazing. I am in love with these little streets full of life and well, cables. Definitely an experience! . . . . . #india #delhi #newdelhi #littlestreets #dogs #igindia #people #sights #streets

I was extremely lucky to spot this elusive, weird and fascinating creature! Platypuses are natives of Australia and although not threatened, they are not easy to spot and are extremely shy! I was so excited to see one that this was the best pic I got (very much zoomed in, that's what 40mpx are for!) and by the time I climbed down to the river it was already gone! A little trivia: Platypuses and Echidnas are the only egg-laying mammals and belong to the order of the monotremes. The other two orders of mammals being marsupials (such as kangaroos and koalas) and placental (all the other non-weird mammals we all know) #platypus #ornithorynchus #australia #queensland #cairns

31/08/2019 Aurora Australis/Southern Lights! Been chasing it for a while now. Contrary to their cousins in the North, the Southern Lights are quite rare to catch a glimpse of. They can be seen from Southern Tasmania and New Zealand and only during strong geo magnetic storms (KP > 4). To the naked eye they are not as colorful as in the picture but the shapes and the river of lights is well visible and breathtaking nonetheless!
