Alice Springs, in the heart of the Australian outback, is a photographer’s paradise.

PRO-TIP: “A telephoto lens can help capture the moon’s details and make it appear larger in the photo.”

 

The radio towers that sit on Mt Gillen also offer a dramatic backdrop for portrait photography. These towering structures provide a contrast to the natural beauty of the outback and can create an industrial, urban vibe in photos. Photographers can capture the towers from a distance to create a sense of scale.
