The tannin-stained rivers of the Sunshine Coast hinterland run in shades of dark amber and tea-brown when the flow is strong – the organic matter leaching from the rainforest soils turning the water a deep, translucent colour that catches the light differently to clear water. At sunrise, when that amber-brown water reflects a pink and orange sky, the colour combinations are extraordinary – which is where this image got its name.

Electric Tannins is a portrait-format fine art print of a tannin-stained hinterland river on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, photographed at sunrise when the coloured water and the warm morning light produce an electric combination of amber, orange, and pink. The 3:2 portrait format captures the full height of the scene – the glowing water in the foreground and the sky above – in a single vertical composition.
