Christmas

Christmas is a fun time, lots of presents food friends and drinks. I say merry Christmas to everyone out there.

The Birds

These banded stilts fly in from Russia, normally an unusual sight at the Coorong. But the drought has bought them in.

THE BIG DRY

This is referred to as the choke a section of the Coorong that feeds the big and small lagoons. This would normally be flowing with water.

Climate change

Can individuals make change? I thinks so.  Climate change is the biggest threat to the world today and climate change is caused by over population. What can we do? its about attitudes and they have to change.

The river

From time to time the outback rivers flow and carry the waters down into places like Lake Eyre in South Australia. These spectacular events are full of life and color and life as the ecosystems come out to play.

awards

Had a good night at the aipp state awards. Entered 4 pictures in landscape catergory

THE SKY

Its not always what it seems and this picture is like that.

Solar Car

I took this photograph years back on one of the first Adelaide to Darwin solar race. Finally Solar is being embraced by the masses, it wont be long before its common place, but is to late?

Stockman

Where lucky in Australia, we have plenty of resources lots of land and plenty of sunshine.

If only we could rely less on fossil fuels, we need to change the way we do things and look after our future generations.

Dancing Sky

Flying high!  This particular show called " ll Cielo che Danza " is  performed by a theatre company out of Italy that travel the world.  That performed here in Adelaide. It was a great spectacle to watch. Gotta love the Adelaide festival

Adelaide

Flying low over the northern part of Adelaide, just off the coast, it's another world not many people get to see.

Wild life on the Coorong

This picture of Banded Stilts was taken in the summer of 2008. These birds migrated from the northern hemisphere to feed on the now abundant krill as a result of the higher salinity of the water. Locals estimates put the number at two hundred and fifty thousand birds

The Coroong

One of my favourite assignments is aerial photography, so when I was offered the chance by a Melbourne publisher I jumped!  I was to fly over the Coorong and capture the impact of the water inflows from the recent rains into its lakes system. Here are some of the images taken several days ago.

flowing lines

Not to many people get to see the Australian outback in flood. This picture is taken from a light plane as the Warburton river carried flood waters into Lake Eyre in outback South Australia.

Looking for something..

When I am on assignment I am always looking, I try to see how I can make something a little different. Hopefully clients that hire me see that in me as well.

Lance Armstrong holds his son max

I had the privilege to meet lance and take his photo. I tried to work out in my mind what I would actually say to him  when the time came, but I was actually  so nervous I ended commenting on his smooth Lycra race jersey.

Snow Gums, Bogong High plains

A photograph I captured near Mt Feathertop which in my mind works better in Black and white rather than the original medium format color transparency. This typifies the beauty of the region and its why areas like this deserve to be protected. David

The Bogong high plains

Landscape: "features of an area of countryside or land, oftenconsidered in terms of their aesthetic appeal."

This is one of my favourite sites in Victoria. A great place to visit all year round. This picture was taken at the start of spring. Shot with medium format film camera.www.davidmariuz.com.au

Putting minds together.

Its been busy around the mac lately. I have decided to update my website www.davidmariuz.com.au with new images across the board. This has taken some effort on my behalf, but i am nearly done, I hope you enjoy my posts and I look forward to hearing from you. David
