The Cape Otway lighthouse, at the bottom of Cape Otway, off the Great Ocean Road in western Victoria (Australia). See this website for more historical information about it: http://www.lighthouse.net.au/lights/VIC/Cape%20Otway/Cape%20Otway.htm After posting this image for critique on DSLRUsers.com (a photo forum I frequent), a couple of people suggested a wider crop and to perhaps lighten the image a bit. I did so, and have received favourable response. As such I have replaced the original that was here with the reworked image.
Sitting behind the falls contemplating the scene, the camera sits and waits. / Is the light right? maybe if we wait another minute the contrast might be better. / Is there a better angle?? lets just have another walk around and check, maybe from over there, maybe from a bit further back. / How can I make the shot my own?? / What filters should we use?? just the poloriser, maybe the ND filter, better hurry losing the light. / Damn, water spots on the lens, better clean that off, now where is that filter. / Ok, here goes. bugger to dark now, looks like pack up time and come back tomorrow.

Cape Otway is the closest point to Tasmania and many ships have been lost at the end of a voyage from London when trying to find this gap at night. Making the threading of the gap so much easier the first lighthouse was established in 1848 on Cape Otway. / This is the top lens house for the light. Taken with a Pentax SLR camera on Kodachrome 200 film.
Cape Otway is the closest point to Tasmania and many ships have been lost at the end of a voyage from London when trying to find this gap at night. Making the threading of the gap so much easier the first lighthouse was established in 1848 on Cape Otway. It was also felt that there was a need to communicate with Tasmania so a telegraph station was established here in 1859. Taken with a Pentax SLR camera on Kodachrome 200 film.
This was taken on the recent Otway and Great Ocean Road group trip with 2 mates After the stop at the Red Woods we headed for Triplet Falls next. The Sun was not to nice for the falls so we stoped off at this old boiler and took shots. The name for this one came from the fact that i had to do a lot of post production Magic in Lightroom.
