Forest Cave at Phillip Island for Sunday Best

 


This is where 4 people were drowned in Nov 2023. This cave is totally under water within 10 minutes. 90% of the time, it is where fish swim. 

Looks wet and raw. I kind of love it.

Port Fairy for Water H2O Thursday

 


This town has a smell in the air. Like a sewage plant. Locals told me that there was a certain smell from the soil in town.

Tenby Point for Treasure Tuesday

 


Joel and I went to Tenby Point on Christmas Eve before the torrential rain.

On Christmas Day, I have watched 7 movies. Chilly fish in a local eatery.

Gibson's Steps for Sunday Best

 


I was here for a long exposure expedition. It turns out a quick snap works out better just needing a better timing on the wave.

Merri Sanctuary Sunset, Warrnambool for Treasure Tuesday

 


This dusk took me out of a surprise as weather forecast predicted a whole day of continuous storm. The weather bureau department needs to be sacked altogether 

I think I am done in this region. Another 2 weeks to go then back to civilisation.

Stingy Bay for Sky Friday

 


This is only 1.3 km from my unit in Warrnambool. So I often come here for a stroll straight after my Thai Dinner. I found a lot of dog poo on the beach though. Sad.

Bridgewater Bay Topdown for Treasure Tuesday

 


Finally the wind was a lot less on the weekend. Finally a view I really like.


I am now in Warrnambool for a 5-week locum work. Hopefully I get enough interesting weather for photography.

No 16 Beach, Rye in Mornington Peninsula for Water H2O Thursday

 


We missed the lowest tide on the day. I believed the forecast prediction was an error. So we did not get to see Dragon's Head which was already immersed in the ocean. Then I tried to salvage the effort into getting a fine art shot if I could. This will do!

Tyntynder Victoria with River Murray for Skywatch Friday

 



A derelict part of the remote Victoria. The wind was blowing very hard. I did the drone shot anyway.

Mangrove at Cleveland, Brisbane for Water H2O Thursday

 


I actually like the smell of the mangroves - a little earthy and muddy.

Pink Lake for Water H2O Thursday

 



This has been a hectic week. Not even time to post this one up at all. I need a debriefing. 


Thank you for your support of my blog.

Sierra Nevada Rocks sunset for Treasure Tuesday

 


This was taken on the weekend. Joel and I escaped the crowd 1km away from this location. Lucky there are no other photographers there at that time! There was a nearby water puddle that Joel peed into it. Later a young couple came and splashing dipping into it. Joel was laughing his butt off. 

I just figured out I was banned from commenting on Instagram. That frustrated me so much.

Waterfall Minoo for Sunday Best

 


From one of many trips to Japan in the past, this waterfall is most poetic. It feels like a waterfall in high mountains of China. The perfection location for photography.


Pentax K10D - surprising what a small sensor and old tech can create a shot like this. 


The double whammy - football final and school holidays render Melbourne impossible to commute. I tried the candid photography in Melbourne CBD yesterday which was quite a shocker. Carp parking fee tripled on the public holidays. Traffic was so congested. There were crowds everywhere wearing Collingwood or Brisbane T shirts. I learnt the lesson to stay indoor even though there was Moon Cake Festival happening today.

Cat Bay Sunset for Water H2O Thursday

 


It was a trip to west end of Phillip Island. Joel refused to photograph the famous broken jetty in the area. Instead, we camped at this rocky foreshore. Later in the night, we abandoned to do Milkyway because of my misreading of the moon rise time which was hanging brightly in the middle of sky. 


School holidays drive traffic even crazier than normal. I can't wait for the kids return to school.

McKenzie Falls in Grampians for Treasure Tuesday

 


From one of the hiking trips with Joel in the past. This area is now always packed with tourists. White supremist group also frequent this area a lot. I haven't returned since pandemic. The area tends to cause a glare issue to any wide angle lens. The dynamic range requirement is very high for this frame which is what everyone wants to take a snap on. I will need to bring the new equipment to this place again.

Joel works 5 days a week in a senior position of a retail chain. I brought some crispy pork to house during a workday as he works from home. Then I discover that he has yet slept for 48 hours as he is trying to get the server back up for the company. He looks terrible. It reminds me that it is a blessing that I do not need to work everyday anymore. 


I discovered an old film photo from Year 9 that Joel and I travelled to Canberra Australia in 1993. 

I was pissed off that he couldn't stop playing heavy metal on his Walkman.
