40km round trip walking, 3 days waiting – One image. The quiet little patch of beach that is Little Waterloo Bay isn’t the worst space I’ve had to wait for the light !

I had just been hiking for two days down at Wilsons Promontory and decided to catch the sunset at Pillar Point before heading home. Two days before 140mm of rain had fallen creating many new creeks I had not seen before. I found this one on the way back to the car after photographing a spectacular sunset from Pillar Point. By the time I reached this spot the sun was long gone but this little rivulet caught my attention. It was so dark that a thirty second exposure was required but I loved how this heightened the blue of the sky reflected in the water while adding a slightly blurred effect to the clouds.

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. Shot on Velvia with a Canon EOS30. For more shots from this area check out my Wilsons Promontory gallery. 10% of all profits go to the Wilderness Society

A perfect winters morning, great light and a rare perfect reflection. I took many shots that morning but had to wait a few weeks to get my film back to see if any had come out. This was the one where everything came together, composition, light and technique. To balance the amazing disparity in light between the shadowed foreground and the bright background I used an ND4 Graduated filter. This filter balances the exposure by only letting one quarter of the light through the top part of the lens as compared to the bottom. The eye is so sophisticated that it automatically compensates for these differences so judging the effects of the filter is basically an educated guess and because I shoot on film I have no on location way of assessing the results and re-shooting if I mess it up. This shot is one of my all time personal favourites. It was also the group avitar for ‘All water and seascapes’ a little while back and was my first laminated print sale on the bub.

At the southern end of Five Mile Beach in the Northern Wilderness area of Wilsons Promontory is a seldom visited gem called Freshwater Lake. The Lake is formed at the bottom end of a huge swamp created from the runoff of the Roundback and Vereker Ranges. To get here I had just spent seven hours traversing around the rocky coastal fringe of the Cathedral. I was exhausted and so focused on cooking my dinner at the time that I almost missed this sight. Fortunately I did look behind me and was staggered at the colour of the sky which, minutes before, had been so grey and bland. Immediately I envisioned catching the sky in the still lake which was close by. Upon reaching the lake so taken aback was I from the reflection and the perfect touch of ducks sitting in the middle of it that I audibly sighed disturbing the ducks and ruining the reflection. Fortunately the water stilled again before the light was gone but alas no ducks. For more shots from this area check out my Wilsons Promontory gallery.

Seasons can be very important in photography. This shot for instance was taken in mid winter and the increased rainfall at this time of year had increased the flow of Sealers Creek which in turn had washed more sand out into the cove. The effect of this was a much lower beach which allowed me to get right under this branch and take full advantage of the first rays reflecting off the sand onto its underside. When I last visited in mid summer the gap under this tree was more like 6 inches than 6 feet making a similar shot impossible.

This shot was taken on Squeaky Beach at Wilsons Promontory on what I considered to be a fairly flat sunset. I had tried a few other shots on the rock platforms at the other end of the beach with limited results and as it was now getting very dark I was on my way back to the car. There was a limited orange glow on the horizon which wasn’t particularly arresting but from previous experience I thought the camera might ‘see’ the scene better than the naked eye. Large area’s of black silhouette in a frame I generally don’t like so I tried to balance that with the sea and sky with a fairly long zoom. The exposure was thirty seconds long, flattening the waves and intensifying the light and colours (velvia helps too). The end result was my favourite shot of the trip.

This photo is a good example of what not to do, that is to point the lens straight at the sun, it just happened to work on this occassion. Walking along the Loo Errn Trail at Tidal River I found the light catching these reed heads in a compelling way. I didn’t really think the shot would work but I tried it anyway using a fisheye lens and shutting the aperture down to f22. The sun then refracted around the tiny aperture creating the sunburst and there was just enough light in the read heads to balance the brightness of Sol despite the fact that the rest of the shot has almost gone black. The starburst reflection is the thing that really makes the shot for me though. For more shots from this area check out my Wilsons Promontory gallery. 10% of all profits go to the Wilderness Society

Don’t usually go for the created image as such but I was mucking around the other day and did this simple edit of my most popular rb pic. I love how the clouds, sun and rocks combine to form a face.

Took this on my Australia Day 2009 weekend sea kayak trip around the Prom on our first morning. This was one of those cloudless and very intense summer mornings when the sun just catapulted up above that horizon becoming too intense and bright for good images almost instantly. This particular spot is away from any designated walking routes so is no doubt experienced only very rarely. I got up before dawn and before any of my buddies were even thinking of saying hello to the new day. So I got this beautiful sight all to myself and additionally didn’t have the worry of unthinking friends stomping their footprints straight through the middle of my compositions like happened the previous day. It’s funny I just walk around beaches very carefully these days totally aware of the impact my footfalls will have on any composition but of course this is not normal with others oblivious to such aesthetic considerations. The great looking lichens on the foreground rock were certainly a big bonus. Took a few of this one and the only way I could get any colour in the sky was to piggy back a 2 and 3 stop neutral density graduated filter (i.e. 5 stops) and then I had to make sure I placed them perfectly so I didn’t darken the headland (close but not perfect, good filter use is invisible and I haven’t quite succeeded in that here, I think I prefer winter sunrises). Fortunately my test shots were done pre-sunrise so I was all set up when the moment came. Amazing how much jiggery pokery it takes to get something to look the same as you see it. One of my companions had hiked the north end of the Prom years before, walking almost 60km in stifling heat on inland viewless tracks in two days with very heavy packs, there destination Lighthouse Point. When they got there he was bitterly disappointed to see a small light on a stick atop a short metal framed tower and not the impressive round stone building they had envisaged. I think Russ enjoyed this trip much better certainly gave us a good laugh to reminisce about his younger gung-ho hiking days.

Took this on a three day sea kayak trip I did around Wilsons Promontory’s north end in January. On the last night we stayed at the beautiful Tin Mine Cove and witnessed a gorgeous sunset followed by this lovely post sunset glow. At the time I was so busy taking the photo I didn’t actually realize that I was taking a shot of two boats mored side by side and only clicked the next morning after talking to the yachty of the second boat (they had dinner together then mored apart for the night). The island in the background is called Doughboy Island. Camera: Canon EOS 5D mkII / Lens: EF 24-70mm f/2.8 USM @ 64mm / Filter: UV / ISO: 100 / Shutter Speed: 13sec / Aperture: f/16 / WB: Auto / Exposure Compensation: plus 2/3rds / When: 9:04pm on 25/1/09 For more shots from this area check out my Wilsons Promontory gallery. 10% of all profits go to the Wilderness Society

Whale rock is at Tidal River in Wilsons Prom. I try and get there once a year as its about 3 hours out of Melbourne. It one of the best places in the world in my opinon. These Rocks are full of hidden colors.
