Romancing the bovines

By Darren Stones

Title: Kiama Hinterland
Photographer: Darren Stones
Location: Saddleback Mountain Road, Kiama, NSW, Australia
Date and time: Saturday 25 April, 2009. 3:23pm.

“Inquisitive, enjoying the view, and happy to meet and greet. That was something the frisky Kiama bovines and I had in common this day. Whilst driving towards the summit of Saddleback Mountain, I spotted these beauties with their lovely ear tags. Suppose they’re an adornment for a cow that’s hoping to attract a bull, and given this spot was devoid of another bull with a camera, I had first dibs at luring the darlings closer to my wide angle zoom. On my side of the fence the pasture was waist high. So, I grabbed a large handful of grass and offered it as if it was an expensive box of milk chocolates.” – Darren Stones

Landscapes of the Sapphire & Nature Coasts photography challenge

By Darren Stones

The Sapphire & Nature Coasts, NSW group at RedBubble completed its Landscapes of the Sapphire & Nature Coasts photography challenge on Tuesday 26 January, 2010 - Australia Day.

Six entries were submitted by group members for voting, and I'm pleased that my Cocora Beach - Eden travel photograph received five votes and was the eventual winner of the competition. It's beaut that my peers have taken time out to judge the photograph and vote for it. Thanks to those who voted and participated in the competition.

The Sapphire & Nature Coasts, NSW group displays fantastic imagery of a popular holiday region in Australia. As someone who travels to the area each year for professional travel photography and writing interests, I enjoy viewing the photography works submitted to the group by members. It's an area I appreciate very much.
