Great Ocean Road Part 1
I’ve barely caught up on my sleep after our very successful Great Ocean Road Workshop last weekend and I wish I was back there already. The workshop conditions were ones I have been dreaming of for quite some time. For years I’ve wanted to take a week off in winter, and with no one else around, and shoot for days through the rough and wild weather you tend to get that time of year.
Well no need for winter! We’ve two months of no rain and someone decided that enough was enough! The heavens opened, the wind blow us off our feet and the storm fronts came through faster than you could photograph them! I remember standing at the Cape Otway Lighthouse saying “How good is this?” It was nice to take a moment out and enjoy it rather than photographing every second of it! However I did plenty of that too! There’s pano stitches galore that I need to get on to (some up to 12 images) but for the moment I’ll post a smaller stitch from our last day at the 12 Apostles…keep checking the blog as I have a number of photographs to publish over the next week.
Wow! What a dramatic sky! Nice photo. Looking forward to seeing your other photos.

Fantastic !!! Amazing dramatic light, I’ve seen storm clouds like that once over Copenhagen and was lucky to shoot it. It’s an amazing experience, bit of Judgment Day end of the world feel to it! Look forward to the next shots!

Christian you are quite right! I no longer like this perspective because of that, but I could always steal one from an earlier shoot a few years back!
And yes, it’s great to be back shooting…wait until i show you what comes up the next few days from this trip – yummy!!

Tom, you are a very lucky man, great photo. I was there just a few weeks ago, nothing like this for me!! Just boring blue skies for me

Hi Merv I’d love to but since WordPress changed the back end I’m strugging to find out how to do this. Do you know please?

Sorry mate I’m not sure what you do . I just post mine and they can be clicked and opened no problem. i thought you must have turned something off.
You might have to get tech head Fletch onto it.

wow so dramatic!
very cool image. i don’t blame you standing there admiring these storms coming through.
go to the edit screen for your post. click on the image and 2 small boxes appear. click the “edit” box. about half way down the edit box theres the link section, and click the link image box. it links it automatically then. well has for me anyway

Tom it always works for people with good looks, i.e. Merv and me! You must be too ugly!

Thanks Stephen that worked. Merv you can now view the images larger – let me know if this is what you wanted.
Fletcher, you know I’m hot!

Thanks Tom now we can open them ok.
If you are resizing your pics for the web in CS3 you probably need to make them about 1200 or 1400 wide as they come up quite good at that size.

Great shot and beautifully dramatic… I’d love to get over there at some point.
