Chasing storms in Australia by Dale Sharpe

As a landscape photographer I’ve travelled to most countries in the world, and I’ve photographed everything from Ice Caves and the Aurora in the north, the autumn colours in Patagonia in the south, and even the sandy deserts of the Middle East.

At night there is little light, the night is quite unknown to us … Nature looks different, there is a magic light, it is a different way of seeing things.”
