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.

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.

There’s nothing like the feeling of freedom … to enjoy life for what it is, without worry, responsibility or concern.

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. Hope you like it. For more shots from this area check out my Wilsons Promontory gallery. 10% of all profits go to the Wilderness Society

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 !

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.

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.

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 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

I took this shot back in January 2006 when my family and my two sister in laws and their families hired a house down at Waratah North near Wilsons Promontory. I took this shot in a farmers paddock across the road from our house after doing the dishes.

Last Saturday night I managed to score myself an off track permit to camp on Bad Saddle near Little Oberon at Wilsons Promontory. Got my slides back today and this is the first shot I’ve scanned in. The weather was a bit weird mostly wet dull and overcast except for two small breaks in the clouds. Each sun patch was accompanied seconds later by a windy drenching. The extra heat from the sun being enough to cause the clouds in nearby proximity to drop their bundles. I literally took the shot whipped the camera off the tripod (which seconds later blew over) and with my back to the golden gale tried to protect the camera from the elements under my coat. An amazing place to spend the night and quite literally a privilege to do so. For more shots from this area check out my Wilsons Promontory gallery. 10% of all profits go to the Wilderness Society

Yanakie Beach is just outside Wilsons Promontory National Park and is one of the few easy to get to sunrise locations at or near the Prom. I took this shot in August 2007 just as the sun peaked over Shag Rocks, named after the birds that are often seen drying their feathers there. Fortunately the tide was all the way in covering the extensive mud flats. A beautiful spot on a beautiful morning.

I went down to Wilsons Prom for two days over the Melbourne Cup long weekend and got a few nice pix. This particular trip for me was unique due to the fact that 140mm of rain fell the day I arrived causing many usually dry creeks to flow vigorously. I left for Waterloo Bay from Telegraph saddle at 9:00pm in the rain optomistically hoping for a spectacular return of Sol. Arriving after midnight the spectacular sunrise and many new creeks did not disappoint.

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.

Taken just before my last post. Amazing evening in an amazing place. It was so dull and overcast at one stage I thought I’d set up my tent and cook my dinner before it got dark rather than spend it on the nearby knoll the light seemed so uninspiring. Glad I didn’t.

A fading glow lightly caresses the boulders seperating Whisky and Picnic bays at Victoria’s majestic Wilsons Prom. / / Anyone that’s ever shot 120roll film or 6×17 will know the detail and results of this format is just incredible and unsurpassed. So viewing this result certainly holds a smile on my face —> :) / / / Fuji G617 – no cropping,no stitching.

All Blues is one of my favourite tracks off Miles Davis’s landmark album ‘Kind of Blue’. This shot being all things blue I thought it appropriate. It was taken at the scene of many of my crimes at Wilsons Promontory in Victoria, Australia. I can’t imagine a simpler shot but for me it just works. It is photoshop free – impossible to improve on ol’ mother nature in this one. For more shots from this area check out my Wilsons Promontory gallery.

I found this Grass tree (Xanthorrhoea australis) at Half Way Hut at Wilsons Promontory NP after the 2005 bush fires. The Grass tree like many Australian plants needs fire to propagate effectively. Under normal conditions it is rare for the flower to form, after fire however it is a different story with every grasstree in sight sporting an amazing ‘kangaroo tail’ from its mop. Usually they are straight as a die so to find such a shapely specimen really grabbed my attention. Finding a nice angle with which to show it off proved a little more problematic. After much chin scratching and walking around in circles I ended up with my back in the dirt where I eventually found a nice juxtaposition of the ‘tail’ with the sky without trees intruding into the frame in inappropriate spots… click.
