Robe in South Australia is the home of this lighthouse and the rocky cliffs that wonder the coast leaving small beaches here and there. Shot taken soon after sunset as the light beam enhanced the rock face and reflected off the slow rolling waves.

Taken at South Shields, the Groyne Lighthouse is a well known landmark and the lighthouses in the distance mark the entrrance to the Tyne Docks. / It was very windy and the sand was shifting and a lovely golden colour, it was a glorious day, well any day you can spend at the beach is glorious :-)

This is an acrylic painting on a 16” x 16” canvas of Roath Park Lake, in Cardiff South Wales, UK. This is where I used to spend most of my youth playing. The Lighthouse was built as a memorial to Captain Scott’s expedition to the Antarctic, which left from Cardiff’s Bute Docks in 1910. I travelled back from Australia to visit my home town in 2000 and this is a painting from that trip. Memories Memories linger as time has past / of youthful play that I knew would not last / Places revisited, flashes of play / in my mind’s eye …will forever stay.

Point Bonita Lighthouse

Taken with a Canon 400D, Sigma 17-70 lens at 19mm, F16, shutter speed 30 seconds, ISO100, edited in Photoshop I had such a good time in Anglesey (Wales) a couple of weeks ago I hope people don’t mind another indulgent photograph of the stunning lighthouse. Situated near the north west tip of Wales, the tiny islet known as South Stack Rock lies separated from Holyhead Island by 30 metres of turbulent sea, surging to and fro in continuous motion. The coastline from the breakwater and around the south western shore is made of large granite cliffs rising sheer from the sea to 60 metres.

A re visit today to the shipwrecked sailing vessel, “Pisces Star” that came aground over ten years ago near the Lighthouse at Carpenters Rocks, Limestone Coast, South Australia. Extremely low tide today and great sky’s allowed for some panorama sets with an old tripod sitting in salt water…. Canon 400D – 18-55 with CIR Polarising lens. 5 shot set stitched in Photoshop CS3.

Byron Bay Moon © AS IS / Vicki Ferrari The most easterly point of Australia! Byron Bay Moonlight Series Byron Bay Moon ©- / Byron Bay Midnight Ocean Rocks ©- These images were taken at Byron Bay, New South Wales, Australia back in 2004. The photographs were shot at night, on a full moon, close to midnight, which is why you can see stars in the sky, a passing ship has its light on, and it also explains the lack of bright reflection on the surface of the ocean. The experimental portraits were taken firing my Sunpak 4500DX flash (handheld), often over and over. Where there are two people (I have deliberately blurred the other person’s face, as a courtesy!) in the image, one of them being me, we had to sit very, very still (difficult for me to do!!) – not smiling (or talking, again hard to do!) as to hold the same smile for an extended period of time can be difficult and if you move your mouth, you get blur. Of course, this explains why those old nostalgic portraits from yesteryear tend to make you think the subjects weren’t that happy! I will also be doing some creative adjustments using Photoshop but will be including that information in the Technical Data. / I am being lazy by writing all of this in one description and pasting it into the relevant image. The other images are linked, for easy viewing. Hope you like this series!

Byron Bay Midnight Ocean Rocks © / Vicki Ferrari The most easterly point in Australia! Byron Bay Moonlight Series / Byron Bay Moon © AS IS / Byron Bay Moon ©— This shot is AS IS (bar the signature) and was taken looking down from the lighthouse (tourist area), into the ocean – quite an angle to the tripod! This was as wide as I could get it, considering the angle! See below for more information. Please excuse me for being lazy by writing all of this in one description. It will fit with all the photographs in this series. These images were taken at Byron Bay Lighthouse, New South Wales, Australia back in 2004. The photographs were shot at night, on a full moon, close to midnight, which is why you can see stars in the sky, a passing ship has its light on, and it also explains the lack of bright reflection on the surface of the ocean.

Smoky Cape Lighthouse, South West Rocks, NSW / Australia / Canon 350D Smoky Cape was named on 13 May 1770 by Captain Cook: the name arising from the great amount of smoke from Aboriginal burn-off fires on the headland. The lighthouse, first proposed in 1886, was to ensure the safety of the increasing coastal traffic on the colony of New South Wales northern seaboard. The light was completed and first exhibited in 1891 and has several claims to fame. With the dismissal of the renown James Barnet, who designed lights such as Cape Byron Lighthouse and the new Macquarie Lighthouse, and the abolition of his office of Colonial Architect, responsibility for future lighthouses passed to the Engineer-in-Chief for Harbours and Rivers. This marked the end of a lighthouse representing ‘architectural excellence’. From here on most would simply regarded as engineering projects with less and less regard to aesthetics. The other is the unusual feature of having a octagonal tower. This was because it was easier to cast the tower in the octagonal formwork than round formwork. The material used to cast the tower was concrete with local granite aggregate. Mr Oakes who won the contract to build the lighthouse complex died during construction and the work was completed by his executors. The tower is divided into two storeys, with iron floors and staircases. The crown is a typical Barnet being granite voussoir blocks supported on moulded granite cantilevers. The balcony sports an ornate gun metal railing stamped with Queen Victoria’s mark. The apparatus consisted of a first order lantern and lens system that is still in use today. The lantern revolved on rollers turned by a clockwork winding mechanism consisting of cables and weights. In 1912 the original Douglas burners, equipped with 6 concentric wicks, were replaced by Ford-Schmidt incandescent mantles fuelled by kerosene vapour. In 1962 the apparatus was converted to mains electricity. The roller pedestal was replaced with a thrust bearing model powered by an electric motor. With this the compliment of keepers were reduced from three to two. There is a small aperture below the balcony that once held a a subsidiary red light to cover Fish Rock. It is believed the light was automated in 1988 and has since been demanned. The complex consists of the tower and annexe, the headkeeper’s residence and assistant keepers residences as semi-detached cottages, a coach house and stables. As a result of the Commonwealth Lighthouses Act of 1911 this light was transferred in 1915 to Federal control because of it status as a coastal light. Information from Lighthouses of New South Wales

A 3 shot HDR Processed in Photomatix Pro Beachy Head is a chalk headland on the south coast of England, close to the town of Eastbourne in the county of East Sussex, immediately east of the Seven Sisters. The cliff there is the highest chalk sea cliff in Britain, rising to 162 m (530 ft) above sea level. The peak allows views of the south east coast from Dungeness to the east, to Selsey Bill in the west. Its height has also made it a notorious suicide spot. The headland was a danger to shipping. In 1831 construction began on Belle Tout lighthouse on the next headland west from Beachy Head. It became operational in 1834. Because mist and low clouds could hide the light of Belle Tout, another lighthouse was built in the sea below Beachy Head. It was 43 m in height and became operational in October 1902.[2] For more than 80 years, the red-and-white striped tower was manned by three lighthouse keepers. Their job was to maintain the light, which rotates two white flashes every 20 seconds and is visible 26 miles (42 km) out to sea. The lighthouse was fully automated in 1983.
