The boat ramp at Portland was busy all day. At the start of the Tuna Season (2 days ago) the queue of boats and trailers was a Kilometre long according to the locals.

Everyone was a winner . The scraps and blood brought the fish for the anglers and the Portland Seal (he lives in the harbour permanently) begged and thought he was in 7th Heaven

TowerHill taken against the sun. Late afternoon autumn. TowerHill is an extinct weathered volcano plug. Quite often you can see up to 10 or 15 wallabies lazing on this slope.

This is along the Mt Tambo Road or Track. This country is in the Bindi, Benambra, Omeo triangle, Close to Mt Shaw. The photo was taken in 2006 with a 3Mpx point and shoot. I edited with Gimp to give more oomph and depth of field. When you enlarge this it looks a bit "painted". Unfortunately, no camera can fully capture the grandeur of this part of East Gippsland.

Docklands again done with the Obama Hope filter after the Shepard Fairey poster of President Obama before the election. Whilst it seems easy to apply a filter, it is actually quite difficult to get a reasonable result. I have done a few of these from first principles, but the filter is easier to change the parameters. This filter is available in Gimp and Photoshop. Originally stitched with Hugin and finished with Gimp

Taken from the Hotel room. I jammed the camera in the window to keep it steady. Even then this is the only shot out of 10 that did not suffer from camera shake.

A bit of fun. A Dinosaur model in the centre of Docklands. Usually a queue of Children that get on the platform to have their picture taken. I "overworked" this photo deliberately to bring out the exaggeration. Lomo, vignette , colour and blur adjustments to finish

This is the famous Melbourne Wheel that had structural problems after extreme heat and wind. The spokes have been taken off and only the hub and supports are standing. This should have been the answer to London's wheel.
Still, I was intrigued by the engineering and took some photos and stitched them to come up with this. Even without the spokes it is a beautiful and impressive structure. (at least to me)Edit
