Wear thongs tomorrow…

…. because my shoes are full of the Southern Ocean.

Arrived at Port Campbell and the 12 Apostles this afternoon and I have 3 days to do something different from every other photographer that has been here before me. Not that I have googled it but I can imagine the many postcard images and some artistic ones as well I’m sure.

Perfect conditions on arrival – clear sky, light breeze – but then it is supposed to rain for the next few days. Should get something moody shots out of that. Anyway, here are this evening’s selects.

Fascinated by the light on the top of this cliff. Looking up at the cliffs and a wave caught my shoes from behind.

And the reflection of the sun as it dipped toward the horizon.

And then I walked further along the beach and there was a second ‘stack’ behind the other one!

Yes, it’s Redhead rocks all over.

A great set of seascapes Andrew.
It is interesting that you have captured images that show the southern ocean as very calm; I always think of it as wild and dangerous.

  Roy, I guess it depends on the location. Around the apostles that we all know it seems like the water is quite shallow and the waves break way out and just roll in, so the size of the waves is not that obvious. This was true down on the beach as well – they were not thunderous crashing waves. I also chose long exposures in a lot of cases. There are a couple of spots where the huge seas are apparent – I think there was a monochrome shot in an earlier post.

  Thanks Jess, tell Mum that photos will definitely be required as she will want some tourist shots. I only took arty ones.

That second shot is very nice indeed – I like the softness of the light and hence the sand.
