Michael King

I love the challenge of creating images that please the eye, tell a story, engage the mind, or evoke an emotion. Hopefully more than one of these. I live in Melbourne, Australia. All images are my own, unless otherwise stated. www.michaelking.au

It is winter in Australia and a delight of winter here are the winter flowering gum trees. These images were taken yesterday of red flowering gum flowers collected from a neighbourhood tree. #photography #naturephotography #bloomscrolling #gumtrees #eucalypt #flowers #macrophotography #focusstack

The Milky Way rising over the Victorian coast at Flinders Blowhole last Friday night. It was very peaceful watching the moon set and the stars move, with the sounds of the waves below. The orange glow of Aurora Australis wasn't visible to the naked eye, but clear in the viewfinder. My first attempt at tracked astrophotography. #photography #silentsunday #astrophotography #milkyway

If you have been to Budapest, you likely have photos similar to these. I took them during a visit last December. #photography #travelphotography #cityscape #budapest

The original pylons of Princess Pier in Port Melbourne were retained as a heritage and sculptural centrepiece. Station Pier is in the distance. I took this a couple of nights ago. #photography #princesspier #melbourne #portphillipbay
