Cape Otway Lighthouse, Great Ocean Road

Cape Otway Lightstation is the oldest surviving lighthouse in mainland Australia. The light, which has been in continuous operation since 1848, is perched on towering sea cliffs where Bass Strait and the Southern Ocean collide. For thousands of immigrants, after many months at sea, Cape Otway was their first sight of land after leaving Europe.

This exposure was taken on a Flexaret IIa Twin Lens Reflex, using Fujifilm Velvia 50. Being a medium format image, it happily enlarges to 24 inches with no loss in detail.

Cape Otway Lighthouse, Great Ocean Road belongs to the following groups:

Australian Landmarks and Icons, Film Photography, Landscape Photography, Lighthouses and Medium and Large Format Film Photography

I hope you enjoy my gallery as much as I enjoyed yours. Oh, if you like majestic mountain scenery and horses, you might enjoy my 2009 western/cowboys digital illustration calendar.
