Richard and Carolyn Green have made countless ‘helicamping’ expeditions across the Australian outback. Thanks to their helicopter, Richard has been able to capture the most remote parts of the nation on film. These are beautiful and lonely places, inaccessible even to 4WD vehicles and therefore out of reach to all but the most tenacious travellers. Richard uses very high resolution digital cameras and combines many images to create single panoramic images of great intensity and detail.
