Willandra Lakes Region is wide and large. It is also a world heritage zone. The night time is actually not quiet. There are all sorts of sounds that are kind of spooky to hear. The night in the desert is pretty much alive.
The view gets my adrenaline pumping.

My buddy was on the phone with me the whole evening. He was isolating for his respiratory disease. The talk was all about managerial capitalism. In deed, my last 10 years of experiences in public sector is just for short term gain. Everything is so coded and benchmarked. Who gives it a rat about long term goals of the organisations?
I guess the morning view like this is a better mood cleanser for me.

It has been a fever to capture various unknown caves at seaside since the pandemic. Well, this is the best way to avoid crowd. And there is a bit of explorer feel to it. My friend got various sorts of trauma from walking around these areas too.
I just got my forth dose for Covid. Arm is painful for quite a few days already.

Mallee region is said to be the part of outbreak if spies and murderers want to disappear from the world. However, I dont see any of them at all.
After work in regional towns, I always love to stop by the sides of road enjoying the sky.

Yes, this place gets so many clicks by tourists, including me!
Funnily I did not use a tripod. Nor any filters. Just a simple click.

Earthy rugged landscape used to be something I got obsessed for a while. Since I live close to the arid part of the state.
This is a good location for photographing milky way at night. I just dont have the guts doing so.

Weather is getting quite cold. -2 degree Celsius almost every night. Walking in the ankle deep sea water on the beach rocks is really designed for iron man or iron woman.
Normally one would come up a poem for this image. I just like to ponder on a view like this. No words.

For a conference trip to Sydney, one has to take a souvenir shot back home. Pity there was no shiny light up projections on the evening.

The intense blue is particularly nice in Winter
Not good for my wet feet
p.s. The spam filter on blogspot is a nightmare. I cannot even comment on other blogs anymore. I even struggle to get inside this blogspot. This reminds why I left Blogspot 5 years ago. PTSD!

This toughness in outback desert reflects the spirit of the regional Australia. I love the look of Pink Cliff in Heathcote where it does not take me long to drive to get to it!

This lake is like a woman with menopause. There is such much volatility in its mood variation. She can be charming or cruel.

This place is deserty looking. So dry and arid that it is almost iconic for toughness to live in the outback.

Long exposure to turn the water into creamy flop. Love the texture it oozes.

This spot is revered by many photographers in Melbourne - short travel and ease to set up the gear for long exposure under the bridge
Laowa 9mm f5.6 is a lens that does not have a good flare control. However, it is still an exceptional lens. Also a bit of glare makes the image real lol
Sony A7RIV allows me so much pixel to play with. Good dynamic range helps here.
This is a fall that I did not anticipate to find after years of search. Funny it was located perfectly on google map

Three years later, I realise I had something good going in blogspot. Though I had started my ventures in zenfolio and instagram, blogspot platform has its own advantages. I think I cannot put all eggs in one basket as all my previous successful blogs on here either get bot attacked or domain hijacked. So this is just a space that I post whatever I want from my amateur career in photography
This sea cave is among the thousands on back beach of Mornington Peninsula.
