I am a Brisbane/SE Qld based photographer specialising in Landscape and Commercial work.
As such, these photos are for sale, not for free, don't ask for free images and avoid disappointment.
***NEWS **** Some of my selected works are for sale over on RedBubble
If you see any other photos you may be interested in purchasing, let me know and I'll add them to RedBubble.
I am now maintaining a second "home" over at ipernity.
ipernity.com/home/dadegroot
I also run an extensive gallery of photos at home.
Although I really do appreciate the sentiment of awards on flickr, I do not however, participate in groups that require commenting, favouriting and especially the pasting of graphic comments. Please don't feel offended if I do not join your invited groups if they fall into that category.
I can't stress enough that you should calibrate your monitor before looking at peoples photos, in the very least try these simple instructions. You'll be amazed at the difference and hopefully you'll have a better chance at seeing what the photographer wanted to show you.
According to flickr my most interesting shots are here.
Some of my pictures are geotagged, you can see where they were taken here: flickr.yuan.cc/maps/dadegroot/

Please be aware that I reserve all rights for my photographs but am open to licensing, so if you see something you would like to use, let me know, I'll probably say yes.
