Each year I produce a few wall calendars with my photography in them. I do a pre-order special to help fund the printing and shipping costs. I have three options for calendars this year, you can check them out here: paulpichugin.com/calendar-lau... #Photography #WesternAustralia #Australia

Reworking some of my old Iceland photos using some presets I've created... pretty happy with the results :)

I still can't believe i captured one of the most amazing and favorite shots of sprites. The detail and intensity was outstanding. And it was from my hometown of Rio Rico. I would gladly forgo capturing normal lightning ever again if I could continue to capture these on a frequent basis.

Spent some time photographing my local Whistling Kites, there were about 20 of them in this little bay. #birds #wildlifephotography #photography

Any experts on #Bandicoot / Quenda on here? Our little friend was looking all healthy only a few weeks ago, but has now lost all his fur and isn't moving as well as he used to. Ideas?

I'm not sure there are many places that are more appropriately named than Peaceful Bay on the South Coast of Western Australia.

Good Monday Morning!

Bit of a foggy start to the day today...

Happy that my friends in Queensland are all ok, hope any of you in SE Qld & Northern NSW are weathering the storm ok! I grew up mostly in Brisbane & Qld, I do not miss the cyclones and hectic storms. #Queensland #Brisbane #Photography

Hello! How has everyone's week been? Mine has been pretty productive.

Hello Quenda... #wildlife #photography

Over 1 year of trying to photograph the bandicoot / quenda in my yard... today I was sitting out there and he (yes, this one is a male) came within 40cms of me! #Wildlife #Photography #Australia

Winter bonsai. Melhus, Norway. Feb 2017.

A throwback to photographing a storm rolling in over the Great Pyramids of Egypt at sunrise.

A Whistling Kite (Haliastur sphenurus) launching into flight. These raptors are named for their distinctive, high-pitched whistling call. Whistling Kites are opportunistic hunters and scavengers, feeding on small mammals, birds, reptiles, and carrion. #Wildlife #Australia #Birds

We've been on the farm for one year today... I would find it incredibly difficult to move back into the suburbs after this. We're even more determined to get our own small farm. #farm #nature #australia

Good morning!

I've been teaching my girls how to snorkel and dive down to explore... they are growing in competence and that is building their confidence! I really need to get another proper underwater camera rig, rather than just using my Gopro.

A bit of a stormy start to the day yesterday... Ocean Beach, Denmark, Western Australia

Beautiful morning on the south coast of Western Australia. Ocean Beach, Denmark, Western Australia

Hopefully getting back to Antarctica in 2026!

I think it is high time that I revisited some of my old favourites... I photographed this particular creek for the first time in 2004 while doing some very off track hiking in the Otway Ranges. The Otways are an incredible part of Victoria, easily one of my favourite places on mainland Australia.

Last year we had some incredible Aurora Australis activity over the South West of Western Australia, this night was easily one of the best.

A quick dip at the beach today to cool off...

Aurora Australis activity over the skies south of Busselton tonight. I need a wider astro lens, I've just cropped out the Magellanic Clouds in this photo. Sony A7RIV + Sigma 16mm f/1.4 (crop lens, so it is closer to 24mm in reality) ISO3200, f/1.4, 4 seconds #WesternAustralia #AstroPhotography

Nothing really went to plan this year, but it has reminded me of what an amazing community I'm part of. I'm super grateful for my family that are supportive & beyond grateful for my wife. As I get older I'm more & more aware of the importance of a great partner in life, not everyone gets so lucky.

Merry Christmas everyone!

A throwback to when I lived in Queensland and was lucky enough to photograph Purlingbrook Falls in full flow!

This is the final week to get any prints ordered in time for Christmas! Any orders that come in this week will get a bonus wall calendar as well, at least until I run out, I'm not too far from being completely out of stock this year! #photography #westernaustralia

I love photographing wildlife in the snow... This sneaky fox was in the snow in Hokkaido, Japan, I photographed it early last year. #wildlife #photography #japan

My "friend" the brown falcon over the last year and a bit... I watched it get a bandicoot at dusk last night, no photos of that unfortunately.

So... this is going to be one of the weirder sentences I've ever written. I was mowing the lawn today and got hit by a dead rabbit. I don't know if I startled the brown falcon or if it just thought I looked hungry, either way, it dropped a headless rabbit on me.

Good morning, hope you're all having a great week so far.

Good morning! How is everyone going? Quinninup Falls, Margaret River, Western Australia

Sometimes when you wander the wilderness you find a portal to universe... This is the view of the night sky from a rock formation in the Western Australian outback.

West Coast sunsets can be amazing... Sugar Loaf Rock on Cape Naturaliste, Western Australia. #photography #westernaustralia #australia

A night out on the dunes... foreground lit up and "light painted" with my headtorch. 45 second single exposure with an ultra wide lens. The night skies here in Western Australia are something else...

The wagtails have hatched!

I need to get back to Hokkaido, Japan... it is amazing during winter! #Japan #Photography #Travel

A few of my favourite images from projects I've worked on around the world... Karijini National Park, Western Australia. Hill Inlet, Whitsundays, Queensland. Kirkjufellsfoss, Iceland and Hokkaido. #Photography #Travel #LandscapePhotography

As much as a cesspit parts of the internet can be... I love that I can order flowers online and they arrive at someone's door the same day. Must be pretty cool to get a sudden surprise like that at your door. (Picture of flowers in our garden, not what I sent)

When I'm asked what my favourite place is that I've travelled to for my photography work... hands down it has to be Antarctica. Being sent there on assignment is still one of the highlights of my career so far. The frozen continent is mind-blowing. #Antarctica #Photography

Hope you all have an amazing week, I'm mostly sitting at my computer for the week... would rather be off having an adventure somewhere. Here's a photo from one of my favourite places in the world... Dove Lake & Cradle Mountain in Tasmania, Australia #Australia #Photography #Tasmania

Just got back from a few days of work in Perth, as much as I enjoy visiting the city, I love being able to retreat to the peace and serenity of the farm we live on.

Sometimes we all need a hug... this friendly little joey chased me around any time I left our accommodation, when it would catch me it would hug my leg and demand to be scratched behind the ears.

Loving the politics free feed so far... I have also muted the main political terms and names. I'm here for beautiful photography, art, birds, wildlife, intelligent people who are vastly more qualified at anything compared to me (which is pretty much everyone).

On the tools today for a hotel client... not a bad view!

Aurora Australis over Busselton, original music by me as well :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=YA1Z...

The wagtails have a nest, they allowed me to get close enough to take a photo :)

Each year I produce wall calendars from my photography. This year I have a Western Australia wall calendar paulpichugin.com/store/2025-a... as well as an Australian wall calendar: paulpichugin.com/store/2025-a... #travel #photography #westernaustralia #australia
