Just over 12 months since The Doc returned from the Galapagos Islands. A couple of pictures to bring back some good memories.

Weather has been a challenge
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!
Using a tilt shift lense
The weather has been terrible, thus limiting photo opportunities. So The Doc decided to write a practical guide on using a tilt shift lense. Teaching himself how to properly use a tilt shift lense has been one of the challenges The Doc has set himself on the Adventure.
Tilt shift lenses are not for everyone but they are great for landscape shots. They are also useful for architectural and product photography. They can also be used for creating miniature effects. Click here for the Guide.
A shot taken with a tilt shift lenses at Arkaroola Wilderness Sanctuary.
Camera Equipment
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.
Ballina Lighthouse
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.
Back on the road
Traveling again, this time Northern NSW and Southern Queensland.
