Apart from life-sized fibreglass cows, Cowtown has some amazing street art. In this pic I have used the cow as the main point of interest in the foreground but because she is looking at the mural the viewers eye is drawn to the that part of the picture.

I think this picture sums up a typical morning at Rotto. I like the dappled morning light created by the shady fig trees and the distinctive orange coloured buildings. I have composed it so the people locking up their bikes on the left, balances with the cafe veranda and the glimpse of the ocean in the distance. My Pixel 9 Pro has done a nice job of balancing the tricky light.

Drones are perfect to capture an extablishing shot for a picture story. This one paints a perfect picture of the camping grounds at Red Bluff nestled between the deep blue ocean and the arid country beyond.

The dramatic coastal landscape of Canal Rocks near Dunsborough is best captured by a drone. This establishing shot clearly shows the natural canals and the power of the ocean which has formed them. I have deliberately composed the shot so the main channel runs diagonally across the frame.

Rottnest Island is a place where kids can run free. Simple things like riding a scooter or drawing on the road with a chalk stick may seem from a bygone eara - but not on Rotto. I snapped this picture with the 3x zoom on my Pixel 9 Pro. I have taken care not to identify the children by making them small in the frame. I have used the rule of thirds grid on the phone to compose the picture so the kids are placed where the bottom horizontal line and the right hand vertical line meet. They are moving away from the camera and into the picture which helps to draw the eye into the frame.

I like this shot of the South Perth apartment block framed in the branches of the tree. I think it shows the connection and contrast between the natural world and the city which Kings Park is so well known for. It is taken with my Pixel 9 Pro zoomed in to 10x and I have tapped on the screen to lock in the exposure on the apartment block so the branches of the tree are nearly black.

I chose this as my establishing shot because it captures many of the elements that make the jetty such an attraction. The beautiful clear water, the crisp blue sky, the blue houses, the timber jetty and the red train. I like the strong colour combination, the converging lines that draw the eye towards the centre of the picture, and the people walking off the jetty.
