We were fortunate to have award-winning documentary photographer Rowan Bestmann and his wife Shannon make a return visit to Rainbow Beach recently. Rowan travels the world capturing images for clients representing an amazingly diverse range of industries and cultures.  Rowan was drawn back to the natural beauty of Rainbow Beach and the surrounding environment, capturing some spectacular shots during the week- long stay.  Rowan has a passion for capturing the natural world in motion and this photo of an Australasian Gannet fishing at Inskip Point demonstrates the point perfectly!
