Anglesea in colour and monochrome.
The weekend took me, albeit briefly, to Anglesea and the beginning of the Great Ocean road. The sun did it’s best to stay behind the coulds resulting in a windy, wintry weekend.
Given this current weather trend, monochrome just seemed to fit…
Colour gallery here, black and white here!
*As a demonstration of how I work in post, there are a few images that make an appearance in both galleries. My strong advice is to shoot in colour for all black and white work. Reason being; the latitude afforded to you when converting to black and white.
King Parrots feeding…
King Parrots – Canon 5d mark ii from James Doherty on Vimeo.King Parrots feeding on the balcony of Alpenglow Lodge, Sawmill Settlement Victoria. Footage was shot with my new 5d mark 2 and cut together with Final Cut Express, visiting the Vimeo link will let you view the movie in full HD.

Nestled up in the northern King Valley is Pizzini Winery (see map below). Whilst most people head straight for the cellar door, I got distracted by the oak barrels on the way in…

Homeward Bound…
As the Greyhound slipped along the Trans-Canada into the night, I managed one last longing look back to the mountains that had been home for the last two weeks. Having barely scratched the surface of what this area has to offer, I know I’ll be back again.

Thanks for watching, and Goodnight.
