The Pinnacles, Phillip Island Cape Woolamai

Last weeks shoot.
I would never have believed that there such a dramatic landscape so close the Melbourne. I had visited some 20 years ago but had forgotten this location.

After two trips down the coastal track on mountain bikes I had around 300 frames to edit. Shot for HDR conversion I was attempting the “big” seascape type of shot with a big sky. Conditions were good but the sky was impressive for only a short time. I will work with the remaining images next week and eventually settle on a few for the production line and online shop.

Thanks to Marshall and Luie for accompanying me on the dark trip back after sunset.

Heritage trees in Melbourne

We shot a number of trees that are on the list as significant trees in Melbourne. These are protected trees and of importance for rarity, age and historical reference.

I will post others and give correct the names as I get the selections from the Arborist at Tree Logic.

Have a look in the shop under Trees

Bristle tipped Oak

Totaro

Cussonia spicata

Tynwald, Willow Bend Estate, New Norfolk

Thanks again to Gary and Pat from Willow Bend Estate ‘Tynwald’ who looked after Luie and I on the last night of our trip. This is a great place to stay or just book a meal in the restaurant.

To quote their information, “Tynwald sits on 40 riverfront acres, and was built early in 1830 by John and Martha Terry as a celebration of success in the flour milling industry. Much of its Victorian charm comes from a later owner the politician William Moore in the 1890’s. He added the central tower, the lacework verandas and wide bay windows over-looking the views and garden.”

Had to take some shots of the place and post here.

The Gingerbread House

Thanks to the guys at Hawley’s Gingerbread House in Devonport who looked after us while the ferry was delayed. Interesting chat about the state of Tasmanian economic and environmental affairs. More about Hawley’s here.

If you are in Devonport drop in for a coffee.
