Gaewern, Bastard Countryside.. Over the years Ive photographed in many abandoned mines across North Wales. To make this particular picture I had to abseil down a cliff and inflate a small raft. There was some natural light coming through a large crack top left so I used a really long exposure with a bit of fill-in from a powerful torch to get the shot you see here.

Invalid Data: Kati Thanda / Lake Eyre 12/03/2017. Scientists at Geoscience Australia use satellite images to track environmental change over time, and they use complex algorithms to filter clouds from the data because they obscure the view of the land. Using the same algorithms but inverting normal scientific process, this Landsat 8 satellite image shows a dramatic cloud formation occurring over Kati Thanda / Lake Eyre on the 12th of March 2017.

Apex. A rise in the ocean's swell, colliding perfectly to create an Apex. I remember the anticipation and moments before capturing this image. I swam and watched as two waves tracked each other, on course to collide. I yelled in excitement as the ocean formed a large mountain in front of me. This is the exhilarating feeling that keeps me coming back for more. tallemmensphoto.com @tallemmens

Kelp Glow. Using a wirelessly triggered strobe my assistant and I are swimming amongst the waves in the dark at an offshore reef in the Tasmanian winter.?Ive been obsessed attempting to achieve this style of surf photography over the last 2 years. Fabricating my own waterproof housings for the strobe equipment in my 3x3m tin shed and checking the surf forecast every day waiting for the stars to align.

Barred. A beautiful sea ruined by a man made structure. It makes me wonder what the natural scene would have looked like if there wasn't a fence barring the viewer.

Sakura Fubuki (Cherry Blossom petal blizzard). Towards the end of the Cherry Blossom season in the Tokyo region of Japan the winds pick up and sweep the millions of falling petals in a blizzard like form dropping petals sometimes many kms away. I was able to capture this moment whilst photographing 2 cherry blossom trees perched on top of a hill where an ancient tomb rested. Unforgettable experience.

As the Devil Descends Upon The Earth. An afternoon stroll turned dark very quickly. Immersed in conversation and not noticing the colour fading from all around us. Darkness descended, draining the life out of the grass, the trees , the flowers. As small droplets fell onto my face I turned around to look behind me to discover this immense, powerful and black vortex moving closer and closer.

This image was captured at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, Melbourne, for the purpose of highlighting shapes and lines in the interior of the building, depicting contemporary architecture.

Weindorfers Fagus. Captured in Tasmania's Weindorfers forest. The wind had blown all of the fagus leaves off the trees. As I entered the forest they blanketed the forest floor like a royal carpet. I went with natures due course and decided to look down until I found this awesome scene.

RUNDOWN. A beautiful supercell storm is moving across the small town of Black Hawk, South Dakota. Sitting in the perfect position is this rundown vehicle with overgrown grass, proving you cant outrun this storm.

The Main Range. My friend and I hiked out into the Kosciusko national park with 70km p/hr headwinds to camp for the night. The clouds swept across the sky like a time lapse right before your eyes. The dappled light painted The Main Range in glorious light and shadow emphasizing the contour of the land.

UNCONQUERED. October 20, 2018 Sydney was pummelled by severe thunderstorms just ahead of the Invictus Games Sydney 2018 opening ceremony. Massive lightning hit the city and lit the Opera House beautifully. I feel so lucky to be able to capture this moment, a once in a lifetime shot.

Bungle Bungle Galaxy. Hands down this has to be one of the best nights of my life. Watching the Milky Way rise from the darkness over The Bungle Bungle Range in the Purnululu National Park, Western Australia. Only silence and the stars.

Los Andes. An aggressive 'polar vortex' storm system originating in Antarctica crossed the coast of central Chile and blanketed the city of Santiago with heavy snow cover. A phenomenon very rarely experienced and resulted in city-wide blackouts for days after. Locals had explained that the last time an event like this had occurred was in the early 1980's or, the day after I had turned up.

The night of Lancelin sand dunes. I installed 2 LED lights on my drone. The drone flys through sand dunes in the dark. I would like to represent the relationship between artificial objects and nature. This photo discusses the beauty of nature by the artificial, let the audience considering the positive side of the relationship between artificial and natural. Location at Lancelin town of West Australia.

Prehistoric. As morning broke the 7+ hours of hiking was definitely worth it, moments after the sun rose it broke between dark storm clouds sending a brief moment of fleeting golden light across the valley below. The Castle, Budawang Range, Morton National Park, NSW, Australia.

Windswept. After quite a drive into the dessert outside of Abu Dhabi, the wind had picked up whilst the sun was moving down to the horizon and created these beautiful shapes of sand being blown over the top of the dunes.

Falls Creek #94. From the series "The Fall" a perpetual study of seasonal change in the Alpine region of Falls Creek in Victoria. April. Last of the warmer days and cooler air signifies the beginning of another winter cycle. The question of sustainability, urbanisation and making wilderness areas accessible will always remain.

The Bitter End. The iconic 'Hanging Rock' captured in an incredibly rare snow fall. This has to be one of the rarest images in my portfolio to date. The long drive, sore legs and tired eyes were all totally worth it to experience these short seconds of simplicity. Hanging Rock, Blue Mountains National Park, NSW, Australia.

While You Were Dreaming. This shot was taken at Lake Gairdner. It is one of the largest salt lakes in Australia and is situated in a very remote part of South Australia. After a 2 day drive to the area, I was ready for this shot, taken a little while before dawn, out on the lake. I couldn't imagine a more isolated and beautiful place. I must have been the only person awake and out there at such an early hour. There were

Falls Creek #98. From the series "The Fall" a perpetual study of seasonal change in the Alpine region of Falls Creek in Victoria. September. Substantial late august and early Spring snow has much of the alpine landscape pristine with fresh snow. Storms still hover above the mountains, and the occasional breaks of sun indicate a change in Spring weather.

Haunting Camel Rock. A stunning location that offers so much to the landscape photographer. Haunting serene at times and awesomely powerful at most times. So many angles to capture yet I feel this angle with portrays the spire like formation shows is might over the Camel shape view offered on approach. Bermagui, Australia.
