Orange Rocks_Duck Point_Wilsons Promontory_Australia

 
In today’s post we re-visit Wilsons Promontory in southeastern Victoria. This time our image features the rarely visited Duck Point, one of my favorite locations on the prom, just outside the boundaries of the national park.
I was attracted to the vibrant color of the rocks and composed the image in such a way that allows [...]

Rock Pools and Sky_Great Ocean Road

Here’s another image from the Great Ocean Road, this time from the beautiful and often wild Johanna Beach. The image was made with a Hasselblad X-PAN II camera, up close, to place extra emphasis on the foreground rock pools.
I’ve included two versions of the image, a pretty accurate rendition of the original color transparency and [...]

Panoramic Photography_An Alternative Approach

I’m sure most folks think of panoramic photography as being ultra-wide representations of grand vistas and, while I’ve made my fair share, I also enjoy taking a slightly unusual approach when working with a panoramic camera. When the scene allows it, as in the case of a waterfall, a vertical (portrait) orientation is an interesting [...]

Pic of the Week_Breaking Wave_Great Ocean Road

This image was made with the aid of late afternoon light in the Port Campbell National Park along the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia.
The trick when photographing action as it peaks, as in the case of this wave, is to anticipate the moment and squeeze (pushing will likely cause camera shake) the camera’s shutter [...]

Evening Comes_Point Roadknight_Great Ocean Road

This image was made with the wonderful Hasselblad X-PAN II camera. I remember feeling how well suited this location, just outside the Great Ocean Road town of Anglesea, was to the panoramic format.
The image was made just after sunset. I was happy to be able to make use of the warm sunset light, shinning up [...]

Gibson Steps_Sunset_Great Ocean Road

 
Happy Easter to All! I wanted to post a special image on what for many people is a very special day: Easter Sunday. Whatever our own personal belief system may be times like Easter are a way for us to come together, with our own families, in a way that encourages us to consider the [...]

Serenity_Aireys Inlet_Great Ocean Road

Here’s an image from a bleak morning at Aireys Inlet on the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia. This small, quiet beachside town has always interested me. In particular the quality of light on the river and beach are often quite magical. For those that are able to make the trip, I highly recommend Aireys [...]

Time and Tide_Great Ocean Road_Victoria

 
This is one of my favourite images. Made during the afterglow in the Port Campbell National Park, near the famous Twelve Apostles, along the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia.
It was so exciting to witness the waves washing back and forward from the sea onto the cliffs and back again. The beautiful but fast-fading low [...]

Pier at Dusk_Barwon Heads_Victoria

 
You may recognise this image. It forms the banner at the top of this site’s home page.
The image was made at Barwon Heads on the Bellarine Peninsular in Victoria, Australia. With the aid of gentle dusk light and a narrow aperture of f22, to achieve maximum Depth of Field (DOF), the required exposure was 8 minutes. [...]
