Chalk this one up to shots that might have been. Overexposed and out of focus, but would have been great if I had managed to get everything lined up. #Photography #WheelchairPhotography #Oops

A photo of a bird in flight, it's wings stretched out. Except the photo is over-exposed (too much light) and the bird is well out of focus.

Bush meets rural meets suburban. The sprawl continues. #Photography #WheelchairPhotography #Suburban #Rural

A tractor pulls a trailer across a field. Behind that field a hill rises covered in new housing. Behind the houses, the escarpment can be see covered in protected forest.

Took this about five years ago. Was down at Shellharbour beach and looking back towards the steel works. #Illawarra #Steelworks #photography #WheelchairPhotography

A black and white photo.

In the foreground we have a large concrete seawall, behind which we can see several people gathered together. One person off the left is walking away.

In the midground we have what looks like an outcropping and small island split by a narrow channel.

In the background we have the heavy industrial landscape of the Wollongong Steelworks

A beautiful sunset over the trees in the Illawarra #Sunset #Photography

It's dusk and there is a lot of cloud cover. The bottom of the photo is a silhouette of trees, while behind that are clouds. The clouds are splashed with vivid colours, going from orange and yellow near the trees all the way up to a deep purple at the top of the photo.

Took this a few years back at Sydney Zoo. It's a great zoo and very accessible. #photography #WheelchairPhotography #Zoo #Kangaroo

Two kangaroos resting on grass. The one on the left is about half the size of the one on the right and has much darker brown fur, while the one on the right is bigger and has a lighter more sandy coloured fur

There's something nice about being considered safe enough to fall asleep on Crossposted with @openvibe.social

What's wrong with this picture? #accessibility #disability

The picture is a screen shot of a facebook post in a group called "Australia only !!! NO DEALERS !! WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE CLASSIFIEDS"

In the screen shot there is an image of a Steering wheel and pedal set for a computer.

Another #WingsOverShellharbour photo This time it's the deHavilland Vampire, the UKs first Jet Fighter (but not first combat ready jet fighter, that was the Meteor) #avgeek #Airshows #photography #WheelchairPhotography

Against a grey sky a small jet aircraft flies past showing its belly. The tail assembly is attached to the main body of the aircraft via two thin pylons.

One last photo for the day. The clouds were at times frustrating as hell and yet incredibly beautiful during #WingsOverShellharbour. #clouds #Photography #WheelchairPhotography

A large grey cloud looms in the middle of the photo like a mountain over a plain. Just to the right the sun is breaking through with an almost blinding light.
