Tasmania, Australia, is a photographers dream.
Wilderness, huge vistas, interesting elements and unspoilt scenery.
Taking a good picture is not hard but getting a fantastic photograph takes talent, time, effort and perseverance.

We needed to learn how to take a great digital photograph.

We stumbled across this fantastic picture of a platypus taken by Cain Doherty in the Cradle Mountain area. It is a once in a lifetime shot.
Cain describes how he came across this hardy platypus that is swimming in a stream with pieces of snow:
Rebecca and I considered ourselves incredibly lucky to share a few minutes with this timid Australian mammal.
