Wave Rock
As is the case with many of my shots there is a considerable time gap between finding a good location for an image and shooting it. I found this spot in March 2007 on an overcast day completely unsuitable for photography. I finally returned in November 2007 to capture the shot I had envisaged all those months before. On this occassion the light surpassed my expectations with the results being worth the wait. With the number of visitors and photographers that visit not only Wilsons Promontory but Pillar Point and Squeaky Beach in particular it amazes me that I have never seen this composition before.

What a truly magnificent shot – The light inside the cove is just spot on perfect. The way the roof is lit and frames the shot perfectly is gorgeous.
The blues in the sky are rich and compliment the lovely tones and colours of the rocks so well

I love it! Your right about the composition. We were contemplating the long drive to wave rock for a photo shoot but decided against it as we had felt this scene been photographed to death. But we never saw a composition like this one, well done!
Travis Easton in reply to Jennifer and Paul Cave’s comment, 4 months ago
Hi Jen and Paul, Wave rock is purely a descriptive term for the shape of the rock in this picture (created with the aid of a fisheye lens and renamed after a comment from ‘Evolve’ above)). It was taken on Pillar Point at Wilsons Prom, Victoria. There is a rock formation in WA I believe called wave rock but I have never been there. Thanks for the comments, love your Kosciuszko pics.

Travis Easton in reply to JohnScott’s comment, 4 months ago
I know… spins me out too, For some reason people have just gravitated to it. Most of my work gets that initial flurry and then kind of sits there with an occassional visit but for some reason this one has maintained a steady stream. It doesn’t particularly stand out to me personally from my other work, interesting this bubble thing hey. Thanks for the comments.

Ah the Prom, thank you for taking this photo, pure magic! I lived in an old farmhouse overlooking Wilson’s Promontory for $10 a week back in 1978… I loved it, the view was sublime with rainbows stretching across the sky almost every day. I could see if the waves were working from the bay window but had to leave in mid June when the winds blew in straight through from the Antarctic.
