A quiet start to the day at Shorncliffe Pier.

Before sunrise, the waters of Moreton Bay were almost perfectly still, reflecting the colours of the approaching dawn. As the first light spread across the horizon, the pier stood quietly against the morning sky.

Sometimes the simplest moments are the most memorable.

As the sun slips below the horizon, the skies above Ubud erupt into a spectacular display of colour. Moments like these are a reminder that some of nature's finest performances last only a few minutes.

Blue hour settles over Phnom Penh as the last glow of sunset lingers on the horizon.

The Royal Palace continues to shine while ferries make their final crossings and the lights of the city begin reflecting across the Tonlé Sap River.

Every evening tells a slightly different story along Phnom Penh's waterfront.

As day gives way to night, life continues along the Tonlé Sap River. A fishing boat drifts quietly in the foreground while Phnom Penh's skyline and the illuminated Royal Palace glow beneath a dramatic evening sky.

Moments like these are a reminder that cities aren't just defined by their buildings, but by the rhythm of the people who live alongside them.

Malaysia Airlines' Airbus A330 rolls out after landing at Brisbane Airport as the first light of day begins to illuminate the airfield.

Wearing the striking Jalur Gemilang livery inspired by the Malaysian flag, this aircraft was a standout arrival during an early morning photography session. Capturing the rollout with a panning technique helped convey the speed and energy as it slowed along the runway.

A small milestone for Scott Barby Photography-Official today.

Last night I completed my first Australian photography image licence sale. One of my local Moreton Bay photographs will soon be hanging on someone's wall, and I honestly couldn't be happier.

To everyone who has followed my page, liked, commented, shared my work, or offered words of encouragement over the years—thank you. Your support has helped me continue doing what I enjoy most: capturing and sharing the places, moments and stories I see through my camera.

Here's to many more sunrises, adventures and photographs to come.

Thank you all for being part of the journey.

Morning light filters through the trees at Tirta Empul, illuminating the gardens surrounding a lily-covered pond.

With incense smoke drifting through the air and shafts of sunlight breaking through the canopy, the scene felt peaceful and almost untouched by time.

Sometimes it's the quieter corners of a place that leave the strongest impression.

Not every sunrise begins with the sun.

On this morning at Shorncliffe Pier, the sky lit up in shades of red, orange, and gold long before the first rays appeared above the horizon. For a few brief minutes, the calm waters of Moreton Bay mirrored the colours overhead, creating a scene that felt almost unreal.

It's moments like these that make the early alarms worthwhile.

A Saudia Boeing 777 begins its journey from Soekarno–Hatta International Airport, lifting its nose as it accelerates down the runway.

As Saudi Arabia's national carrier, Saudia connects Jakarta with destinations across the Middle East and beyond. Catching this departure was a welcome addition to an afternoon of planespotting.
