Taken on a recent trip down the Great Ocean Road around the Port Campbell area. The rugged coastline is a real challenge to photograph in the middle of the day but on this occasion I got lucky with the nice wispy clouds.
A wonderfully crisp winters morning at Loch Ard. The first rays of the morning sun illuminate Ben Lomond in the background.

This was a metering experiment, anyone with 'simple' metering instructions... appreciated... its not that i'm dumb, but need one setting that covers everything...so much else to think about that the light has gone... Oh, the joy of the 'Program' setting..a distant memory...lol
Ard Michael Beach the cemetery is just behind this scene it was a lovely beach and I walked it a couple of time, keeping away from the nesting Oystercatchers. I never saw anyone else there during any of my visits.
Beautiful and well shot Loch in the heart of the trossachs. A great place to shot.
The light on this day was a bit harsh, but sat for a while hoping it would change but gave up. Morning or sunset would produce much better results.
The Great Ocean Road, Victoria. So many iconic places to visit and wonder at the natural beauty and think about the many shipwrecks which have occurred along this treacherous coast. Loads of photos too, we had a good weather day to visit these sites which was a relief after the cloudy and rainy days we had had for a few days before getting here. Apologies in advance for probably too many photos from here!
HTT!
The Loch Ard Gorge is named for a ship which came to grief here, only two survived and their story and that of the ship has gone into history. See the link for the full story. www.australiaforeveryone.com.au/geelong/loch-ard.html
Loch Ard, Trossachs.
This is a re-processed version of an image I posted a couple of years ago (see below). This time, I went for less aggressive processing in order to achieve a quieter, less dramatic image .. a completely different mood from the original.
Great location that is not far from the Twelve Apostles. Would love to get back there for an extended amount of time!
Newtownards and Scrabo Tower in the dark, as seen from Islandhill. When Strangford Lough is flat calm, the reflections are just perfect :)
Much better Viewed Large and On Black
Have been wading through my files, and was surprised to see that I had not uploaded this one from Last year...
...If you are interested in visiting loch Ard or seeing what it has to offer, i have been putting together a blog that covers this beautiful little loch... check it out here..
I've been cycling around the Trossachs in search of some nice autumnal colours lately, and I spotted this view of Loch Ard, with Ben Lomond (before the snow hit) behind. I went back in the evening and the weather was pretty moody. The lochs were pretty rough as the wind and rain blew through but the light, just as as it was setting was beautiful.
The snow-covered slopes of Ben Lomond, Scotlands most southerly peak over 3000', are reflected in the still waters of Loch Ard.
The morning was so promising, with a dense fog covering the Central Belt of Scotland, which would (according to the weather forecast) gradually clear as it was burned off by the sun. Great, I thought, a bit of mist on the loch. Oh yeah .. clear as the proverbial bell when I arrived. If I've learned nothing else over the past couple of years, it's that the hills make their own weather and the "official" forecast bears little relation to reality. Ah well .. better luck next time.
