The Griffith Island Lighthouse was built in 1859 and is located a very short distance from Port Fairy, Victoria. The lighthouse is constructed from bluestone, however one of the duties of the lighthouse keeper was to keep the structure painted – and maintain the signal! The last lighthouse keeper lived on the island from 1929 to 1954. Shortly afterward the lighthouse became automated. Shot on C41 film and digitised using a scanner.

I had posted this picture on another site after being verbally attacked by some homophobe who left ugly comments on many of my images. One of his more polite comments was that my images were too blurry and too gay. Well, big shock to everyone I’m sure but I AM a major queen!!!! Anyway, I posted his comments all over for everyone to see. I made his words as visible as possible. It’s his shame not mine!!!! / Try to hurt me with the obvious – duuuuuuh / (g for Gay)

My wife and I recently spent a week in the Barrington tops region north of Newcastle. Not only is it beautiful country but it is close to home. Our first night there a storm was passing just to the south of us through Dungog. This was a lightning strike close to us and the flash illuminated the rain falling from the clouds. As the storm was far away I had the apeture open to f4 which is fine for distant lightning but terrible for a close flash. I have had to adjust in Camera Raw to get the details of the lightning stike as good as I can. not other adjustments have been done. Image taken with a Nikon D300 and the 18-200mm lens at f4 and 30sec exposure.

Dubrovnik drenched by the morning sun. Shot Summer 2006, at 8 am, from the Old Town Walls, looking at the clocktower at the southern end of Stradun. One can see the extensive post-war repair work to the rooftops, and the difference between the origianl tiles, and the new regular ones. Dubrovnik has been listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site since 1979. We are luckyenough to call this city our second home. Nikon D70s; Nikon 70-300mm lens; f/4.2; 1/2000sec; 75mm focal length.

This old farmhouse still stands the middle of a farmer’s field, but it is obvious that nobody has lived here for many, many years. The house is totally cut off from the nearest road, with not as much as a pathway to approach it. I often find myself trying to envision all of the people who had known this farmhouse as their family’s home. There must be some very interesting history behind this mysterious old place. This photo was taken with a Canon EOS 10D DSLR camera through a Canon EF 35-350mm f/3.5-5.6L telephoto zoom lens @ 350mm focal length. The shutter speed was 1/60th sec at f/8. The camera’s ISO was set to 100. A Manfrotto tripod was used with a remote shutter release. Your comments are always welcome!
