The Doc’ parents house overlooks Angels Beach, East Ballina. Here is a selection of sands from the beach, intermixed with algae, wind and wave action, rutile, footprints and even some surf scum. Take more notice next time you walk along a beach.
Over the last few days Lake Eyre is filling up again. Great report from Australian Wildlife Conservancy’s Kalamurina Sanctuary on the north edge of Lake Eyre, with pictures, click here.
This series has has sand, rutile, algae, surf scum, bark, clay, rain drops, lichens, basalt and clouds! The broadest group so far, enjoy, click here.
A vertical panorama of 3 shots. Click of the photo to see the correct size.
Despite going out quite few times the sunset opportunities have been limited. In some cases, no photos at all. The best so far is below, which is just OK.
Managed a shot last night with a 600mm lens!
Something for gearheads this time. The Doc is increasingly using filters in his landscape work, examples include the recent Ballina Lighthouse work and many of the landscape shots in Flinders Island. The Doc is just not using filters but interestingly he is using a tilt shift lens to get panoramic shots.
As part of the research over the years he has a large list of resources on filters. So this has been added to the blog, here.
A quick trip down to Ballina Lighthouse this morning to test a new filter. It worked well.
While photographing someone came up to ask about AWC, it turns out it was Simone, a former AWC employee. I recognised Simone from the AWC slides I scanned recently of Mornington Sanctuary. It is a small world. The mobile AWC Billboard delivers again.
The black and white versions.
Next stop Byron Bay Lighthouse.
The Report on the recent Flinders Island visit is posted. Plus the short stopover in Launceston on the way to Flinders. Reports and pictures here.
The howling winds died down today, so The Doc managed a few shots. These photos are all stitched panoramas, usually 2 or images. Locations include Sawyers Bay, Mt Killiecrankie, Castle Rock Point (that rock is massive) and the view from Walkers Lookout across Darling Range towards Mt Strzelecki. Click on each image to see larger version.
Early morning flight to Flinders Island. The Doc was picked up at the airport by Michael and Linda from Flinders Island Travel Centre. He spent the day being taken around the Northern half of the Island. Some great locations were visited. To be revisited and photographed over teh next week.
As The Doc writes this report, 6 Green Rosella are feeding outside the window of Emita Cottage.
The Doc is looking foreword to photographing places like the Docks, Killecrankie, Lady Barron and North East River. Wildlife includes Bennett’s Wallabies, Pademelons and Poteroos.
A brief look at North West River.
