It’s hard not to mention the town of Camden when I’m talking about my favourite places to shoot. It also just happens to be my old hometown. So I have put together some of my favourite pictures from my travels this year. I hope you like them.
Around a hours drive South west of the City it may be tucked away but once you’ve been there you’ll know.
It’s one of Sydney’s oldest towns and made famous by John Macarthur a wool farmer who at one point in the late 1700’s was the richest man in NSW, he also owned most of the land that later turned into the suburb that is now Camden.
The pictures below are from Macarthur Park, no doubt named after the man himself. I remember as a kid playing in the park and mum driving over the little bridge that heads into town.
And that row of trees on the way into town has to be one of the best sights in Sydney at anytime of the year.
Although I live more coastal these days I’m still very lucky to spend most of my week out there taking pictures for my hometown newspaper the Advertiser. So I get to shoot throughout the year with all the changing seasons. Regardless of the season it’s pretty all year long and well worth a photograph. All of the shots here are with my favourite lens for landscapes my 70-200mm lens. It really helps to compress everything in the image and makes it all big and bold.
It’s such a beautiful town regardless of the weather or the season. So if you’re from Sydney and you haven’t been there yet, you are seriously missing out on one of the best Suburbs our city has to offer. And if you are visiting NSW then add Camden to the list of places to visit and you won’t be disappointed.
Til next time!
