]]> Local resident Jo Immig recently found spawn in a bird bath on the ground in her garden. “We weren’t sure whether it was from cane toads or a green tree frog which had been hanging around,” says Jo, of our Shot of the Week. “We transferred it to the Lotus pot and crossed our fingers. A little while later we found this little green tree froglet, still with its tail.” It’s about as cute as a tiny green tree frog can be.

]]> One of the best things about life in the Northern Rivers is the majestic landscape – and someone who does it frequent justice is Alex Clarke, a regular contributor to Shot of the Week for Verandah Magazine. He caught this one when he was out with his partner Jasmine on a New Year’s Day adventure. “We decided to have lunch at Nimbin, and then we tried to get to the Border Ranges,” says Clarke. “Unfortunately the eastern gate was shut, and we were on our way to Cawongla when we noticed three massive storms in the sky. We quickly made a plan to try and get ourselves under two of them on the way via Casino – and I took a few shots I was happy with – plus we got home to the beautiful post-storm cool weather.”

]]> One of local photographer and writer Irina Tennant’s favourite places is Brunswick Heads she told Verandah Magazine: “It was actually the first town in the shire,” she says, “but when the railway went through Mullumbimby, Brunswick went into a decline, until it was discovered as a holiday destination. I love the fact that it has the river, the sea and the rainforest, as well as a harbour and a marina. Plus you have views all the ways to Mount Chincogan and Mount Warning.” Irina caught this beautiful photo of a pelican coming into land.

]]> Our Shot of the Week was taken by Byron-based photographer and writer Kim Carey, who had a “moment” when she saw this seagull – its head bowed as if in prayer. “There’s a mystery to life, and a majesty as well that can unexpectedly capture me,” she says. “Sitting at Cosy Corner with this elegant bird was such a moment.”

Lismore-based photographer Andrew Sooby took this wonderful shot from the eastern point of the Byron Bay Lighthouse precinct, looking down to Little Wategos Beach. “I love shooting directly into strong light,” he says, “and before I took it I saw the shot in my mind’s eye as a black and white, heavy contrast ‘shape/pattern’ photo. However, when I played with the sliders in Lightroom the colour version seemed to work better. I’m careful to label a manipulated shot like this “impression” because obviously the original scene didn’t look like this. The manipulation has also emphasised the strange illusion that the sea is the sky, at first glance. The photo is also an example of how a tiny detail – here, the two people walking – completes the whole.”

Tech details: Nikon D500; 70-200mm f2.8 lens. Shot focal length: 225mm (effective). ISO 100; Aperture f5; Shutter 1/2000th.

]]> Byron-based photographer Kim Carey is well known for her amazing surf images, but this amazing midnight sunset is something completely different. The image is in fact a composite of two images. “One is the rising full moon, and the other a section of an eagle’s feather,” says Kim. We love this one!

]]> Ballina-based photographer John Wickens captured these beautiful images of Rainbow Lorikeets outside his Ballina home. https://www.acheterviagrafr24.com/viagra-definition/ “I love the fact that these birds visit us on a regular basis,” he says. “They are unmistakable with their bright red beak and colourful plumage. Both sexes look alike, with a blue/mauve head and stomach and green wings. But however you describe it – the fact is they are beautiful – and cheeky!”

]]> One of photographer Kim Carey’s favourite places is Cosy Corner at Tallow Beach in Byron Bay. When she’s not surfing, she’s using her camera. She captured these beautiful shots earlier this week on her new Go Pro: “In paradise at Cosy Corner…the best things in life are free,” says Kim, “and right here for all of us to share.”

]]> Brooke Jarratt kicked up a storm in this year’s campdraft – coming second in the final on her beautiful strawberry roan Quarter le prix de cialis Horse mare, Style, and fifth on her black horse, Ace. Verandah Magazine publisher Candida Baker, caught them in mid-flight. “I love this shot because it really shows how well Brooke rides. She was absolutely glued to the saddle, and she and Style were completely in sync together. It was a treat to watch,” she says, “plus this year’s show was blessed with beautiful weather!”

]]> Says Lismore-based photographer Alex Clarke of our Shot of the Week: “We in the northern rivers are blessed with a beautiful environment, clean air, water and pristine beaches. In spite of its popularity, Byron manages to remain one of the most naturally stunning places on the east coat by fiercely maintaining its sustainable ideals. I was there one evening for this stunning sunset at The Wreck, set to the throbbing beats of the drumming circle and the cries of the gulls; a mother and her child make their marks before the tide washes the beach clean again.”
