Pristine Mallee ...

Prestine Mallee ...

Typical country as found on my brothers farm south of Lameroo, South Australia... This is one of many locations on the farm that enables great camping. And not a soul in sight over Easter ... superb:)

About Me

My name is Peter (I prefer Pete) Hayward.

I am married to a wonderful lady, Pam. We live in the delightful little suburb of Glenside in Adelaide, South Australia.

Somethings, it seems, are meant to be. And heck I am ever lucky!!!

We live in what must be one of the best locations around with terrific neighbours and the very best of friends. A top spot within a stones throw of the Adelaide city centre.

The names "Ngarkat" and "Boxflat" are taken from a little known conservation park that borders what was my family's farm south of Lameroo in the Mallee country of South Australia.

I'm a fan of Nikon cameras. It turns out that once one starts with a brand of camera it's very hard to change brands due to the significant investment in lenses and also in learning the control layout and idiosyncrasies of the brand. I have no religious favour of Nikon. Each camera manufacturer make sensational cameras these days. It's just chance really. In my early 'career' in photography my first 'real' camera was a Pentax MX 35mm. I really loved that little camera. From there my life of destitution and want really kicked in. I won't dwell on my penchant for motorcycles, off road of course. They also kept me broke and the Orthopedic Surgeon in the latest model Audi.

When I lived in country SA (Lameroo) I started a significant part time business, particularly in Wedding, Event and even aerial photography. Earlier images on this site have been taken with a Nikon 5700, D200, D600, D610 and later a D750, D500, D810. I've been playing with a 1 Series J3 & V2 however the workhorse cameras are currently a toss up between my D500, D750 and D810. I'm longing for a new mirrorless camera (I do have a the V2 which is sensational for its time, really really good, long story ) however now I'm waiting for Nikon to come out with a mirrorless that is affordable and appeals to me (the new ones don't hit the mark for me). I can dream can't I :) To view my complete profile (including my email address, not shown here to help foil spam bots) click this link:
