Summer in the Northern Rivers means warmth, humidity and the odd spot of rain.  After a bit of a dry spell, the skies opened in December and photographer Alex Clarke was inspired to take his camera out for a walk around the neighbourhood. “I wanted to see if I could capture some sense of the relief the vegetation must be feeling,” he says. “Red flowering gums have such spectacular flowers, and this young tree in a neighbour’s yard was all but singing with joy in the downpour.”

Clarke took his photograph of Corymbia ficifolia flowers through his new Zeiss Makro Planar 100mm f/2.0, on the Sony A7. (“Probably the nicest lens I’ve ever owned,” he says.)
