After hearing from a local woman who was out walking her dog at the Cape Disappointment Lighthouse that there was a second lighthouse to be found a little further along the coastline to the North.
I set off to North Head where the sky overhead appeared to have turned even more blue, helping the weather-beaten white paint of the lighthouse to stand out even moreso.
This is some manner of poppy head from a bunch of decorative dried display flowers that's been kicking round the house for ages. seemed like a relatively interesting looking subject for another indoor shot.
Lighting: Canon 540EZ on 1/4 power through softbox as background, Panasonic PE-388 on 1/2 power in softbox behind and slightly right of the camera. Both fired by radio trigger.

For a quite common bird, I have had great trouble getting an image that I could put up on flickr...even though it's not the best IQ
I researched this species & the Aust. Grebe as I find them difficult to separate in non-breeding plumage. But apparently, one of the easiest ways to separate them is the amount of black on the head. The HHG has the black coming down below the eye, whereas in the AG, the black only comes halfway down the eye. Hope that's right because I will be "shattered" if this is not a HHG
