This is the name of a talk at the NGVI I attended yesterday. It was mostly about the Small Worlds exhibition of 19th century travel photographs. The speaker was Alison Inglis, Fine Arts lecturer from Melbourne Uni. It was fantastic – she is a very knowledgeable and intelligent woman and a very good speaker. She put the photographs in their historical and cultural context, and offered some insightful theories. If anyone has the chance to hear her I definitely recommend it.

Quoted from National Portrait Gallery : The National Portrait Gallery invites all Australian residents to enter the inaugural National Photographic Portrait Prize 2007 which will be displayed in the Gallery from 6 December 2007 to 23 March 2008. The Prize, sponsored by Visa International, is an annual event intended to promote the very best in contemporary photographic portraiture by both professional and aspiring Australian photographers. With the generous support of Visa International, the National Portrait Gallery is offering a prize of $25,000 for the most outstanding photographic portrait. A selection panel of three judges will make an initial selection from all entries to determine the shortlist of finalists for inclusion in the exhibition. The judges will choose the prize winner from the portraits on display in the exhibition. Entries will be judged on their power as a portrait photograph rather than the status of the sitter or the reputation of the photographer. Closing date for entries / The closing date for entries is 31 August 2007

The charity will be supported by Redbubble/The Gift of Art until August / The Gift of Art contains pieces of artwork for sale – the proceeds of which will go directly to the charity in question. The artwork for this charity must be purchased from :this account:http://www.redbubble.com/people/thegiftofart though, not from my personal folio. Please consider buying..whether a card or a larger piece – all proceeds are very welcomed…because however much we empathise – research, medication development and care still needs to be paid for. / Thank you for reading / Caroline

This afternoon I got a phone call from Wilsons Promontory National Park asking me to pay $275 a year for a photographers licence, due to the fact that I am deemed to be a ‘professional photographer’ because I have a website . What I don’t understand is how one arm of the government regards my photography as a hobby and another as a profession. Yes I sell a few cards and pictures but this merely offsets some of the expenses I don’t actual make a profit out of this and can’t even claim those expenses off my tax because the tax department does not deem it as a professional activity, merely a hobby (one that just went another $275 a year into the red). I so don’t get it. Would be interested to know what experience and views others have of this phenomena and for that matter how many of you out there already pay this sort of money each year for this sort of license. Confused

Recently I emailed images from the local big park (Fagan Park) to Hornsby Council suggesting they would make wonderful postcards, calendars etc to promote the area, especially with a kiosk now being built near the main park entry. Today I not only was told photographs are sourced via their annual Hornsby Council photo comp (which is not widely advertised so I was unaware of it!) but that Council has a policy re photography (where have we heard this before? There must be an epidemic!) and if anyone intends to put photos up for sale, there is a ‘process’ to go through, and payment of a fee!!! So I will need to make my Fagan shots for viewing only on RB, which also means they will not be available on my bubblesite. I think it is the latter matter which distresses me more. They are a major part of my portfolio but I won’t be able to display them to bubblesite viewers. Has our society gone mad? Sometimes I wonder! Maybe we’ll need to stick to our own backyards pretty soon and not be seen in public carrying a camera!! :(( Rosalie PS Council website has, among other things, a statement saying Fagan Park is great for “Wedding ceremonies and photography” ... with NO mention of permission or fees!!! PPS I really like the following statement (which is on a similar topic) by Russell Stewart (www.potd.com.au – and I quote this with Russ’s permission!!!) Photographers are NOT automatically terrorists! / Photographers are NOT automatically paedophiles! / Photographers have the right to photograph in public places, where subjects have no reasonable expectation to privacy. / When in public, people do NOT have the right NOT to be photographed. This is the LAW!! / Photographers are the VICTIMS of uneducated law enforcement, the media and it’s misguided group of followers.

I have been meaning to write this journal for a while but have only now had the chance to get it all together John and I, as hosts of the Otway National Park / Great Ocean Road Group planed a get together for the 24th of October 2009. The plan was to meet with other members of the group at 3 possible locations. The met ups were planned for 3 times throughout the day. On the day MyKeef (who stay the night at my place), John and I piled our gear into my car and right on 4:00 am we headed off. Being right near the ring road we made good time to Anglesea and arrived just after 5:30 am at the first meet up point. We had a bit of a stretch and look for anyone else, but as we could already see some light in the sky we headed for the nearest beach. We happened to stumble onto the Anglesea River Mouth beach. We quickly set up and started to take pictures in the cold conditions. It is about here that things start going wrong for John, as he goes to take his camera of the tripod to change something he drops it and it hits the leg lock on the way down. When he picks it up his very expensive 72mm circular polariser is smashed. But the good news the lens looks fine and it still take shots. Also I happened to have a 77mm circular polariser and a 72-77mm stepper ring. So john was back in business. After taking quite a few photos of the stunning colour on the horizon we thought we had actually missed the sun coming up. We discussed it and concluded that it had come up out of view and we should head off. So we packed up our gear and just started heading to the car, with one last look over our shoulders and there it was the sun. Quick, grab the cameras, no time for a tripod this will have to be hand held. I squeezed off a few good shots with my Sony 16-80 Carl Ziess. I could hear the other guys doing the same. But I wanted a closer shot so I changed to my Sony 70-400 G lens. This lens weigh in at 1.5 kg and is a f4-5.6 but I knew I could still get some great shots out of it. After this little bit of excitement we headed back to the car and load up. Time to head for the next shot, but first… In preparation for this trip I had added a small video camera into my front bumper, where the right fog light would have been. So now it was time to start the video camera recording. We got 1hr and 30 minutes of video throughout the day, I compressed it down to 10 minutes of high speed driving. Great Ocean Road Drive Next stop was Split Point Lighthouse, this is always a favourite place for photographers and at this time of the morning we had it to ourselves. The sun was just bathing it in an orange glow and it looked fantastic. I dug out my fisheye and shot away (none made it onto RedBubble though). We then proceeded onto the Great Ocean Road sign for some more shots (again none on RedBubble). Standing in the middle of the road taking shots of this sign can be dangerous, but at this time of morning we only had cyclists to contend with (and that can be dangerous when trying to pass a pack of them). From here we headed to Lorne for breakfast and a coffee, we also checked out some of our pictures and agreed we had done well so far. Lorne was also our second meet up point, but we were disappointed that no one showed. From here on we didn’t really have any set plans, other than making Apollo Bay for lunch, so we just headed out along the road. We came across a walk along the old log tram track, but after a short time decided to head down to the beach instead. At the beach we tried for some shots of waves crashing over the rocks, MrKeef and John got some good shots, but it wasn’t until I started to pack up that I realised that I had bumped my camera to manual focus and every shot was just a bit out of focus (bummer). MrKeef and I also tried some Infrared (IR) shots. We quickly learned that his Olympus is much more sensitive to IR than my Sony a350 is. Heading out along the Great Ocean Road again we quickly reached Apollo Bay at about 11:30 am, too early for lunch we headed to the break water for some shots of waves crashing against it. We really didn’t get any good shots, but it wasted some time. After lunch at the Apollo Bay Hotel (a must have lunch place) we head out again aiming for the California Red Wood Forest and Triplet Falls. We entered the main Otway Forest and headed a down Beach Forest Road, this is a dirt/gravel road, most of which we drove at 60km/hr as my mates made the comment earlier in the morning that I drive like a girl. John told me a week later that he was holding on for dear life in the back seat on some of the corners. Not that I was actually driving dangerously, my car is in very good condition and I know how to drive it. So we were well within our limits, it was fun though. John had raved about this Red Wood Forest and how wonderful it was. Both MrKeef and I had never been here, MrKeef was a bit sceptical as he had not even seen any pictures of it on RedBubble. Once we arrived we understood what John was talking about. After about 5 minutes of just standing there taking the place in, we got to work on trying to capture the grandeur of this place into a small picture. I personally think we done a reasonable Job. Triplet Falls was a bit of a letdown, I had been here a couple months before hand, the road was now dry and there were much more people about. There was not as much water in the falls and the sun was too high to get a good shot. It was also where John had his second bit of bad luck for the day. He managed to drop his ND400 filter over the edge of the viewing platform and down a steep incline. I offered to go get it, but we both agreed that since we could not see it there was no hope. We walked around to the top of the falls and this actually offered a better photo opportunity, but the path was to narrow and with too many people about to set up tripods, so it was hand held work here. We moved on to the old log train and the steam boiler, we tried to get some shots here and managed a few RedBubble quality shots. From here we headed to the 12 Apostles (not that there are 12 anymore), the sun was low in the sky and this was going to be a hit or miss. We set up shooting west and took some shots. On reviewing the shots I notice some strange effect in the sky, looking up it was then that I notice the strange higher level cloud formation. Cool something to place the shot. MrKeef and John headed for the east side and I took some shots with the 70-400. After I was done I packed up all my equipment, John’s and MrKeef’s and feeling like a pack horse headed off to find them. We headed to Port Campbell, then inland to the Princess Highway and on home, arriving back at 9:30pm. We averaging about 10l/100km and over 600km in the day, I personally took over 530 pictures. I think all up it was a very successful day, maybe a little expensive for John whose camera needed to go in for a check up and fine tuning. But we had great fun chatting and shooting pictures together and will head out again with MrKeef in the new year (John is still laid up with his bad foot). The End
