Cottesloe Beach, Western Australia was selected as the Best Beach of the Year for 2003. The attractions there, are more than just sand beach and waves. As a matter of fact, this place has lots of photographic potential if you happen to be a photographer! During my visit in November 2003, I was attracted by the strong waves from the sea. Will feature more images of this beach on this web later.
The flowers were blooming when I revisited (last visit 1989) the light house of Cape Leeuwin, Western Australia in last November. Using the polarizer, I was able to darken the sky to a saturated blue that gave the image a much stronger visual impact. The gorgeous colors of the flowers are added bonus to this well lit light house of Cape Leeuwin, Western Australia.
During our (with my wife and my son Dr. Tan Eng Loy, ARPS) visit to NSW, Australia in September 2003, we drove down to Anna Bay looking for the beach that was supposed to feature camel rides. Instead, we found a place for cart riding. Since the lighting was frontal, the trickiest part was to get an accurate exposure for the image. Careful selection of the spot meter reading based on the area of the rider would solve this problem. I like the colours and composition of this image. The rider and the cart coming into the frame have both undoubtedly added a touch of human interest and activity to the whole picture.
