Another from my Friday photography expedition at Clifton Beach, Tasmania. It was a shame the sky ended quite dull but I still had to take some shots to make the trip worth it.
Canon 350D, Canon 10-22, Cokin ND Grads (Z-Pro), tripod
One minute it was relatively light and the next it was completely dark which left me a little paranoid. As the light disappeared the water surged and increased in power which made things interesting walking back. Fortunately I had a torch which directed me back to my little car to get me home safely.

Il tilacino (o lupo marsupiale della Tasmania) è un animale carnivoro che pochi conoscono, il motivo??... E' estinto da 72 anni!Sebbene non avremmo mai potuto vederne uno nelle nostre zone (viveva in Tasmania e Australia), è bene ricordare che se la specie è "scomparsa" la colpa è da imputare, oltre che ad una sorta di "selezione naturale", prevalentemente all'uomo (come spesso accade!).-Leggi
The state of broadband in Tasmania today suffered a setback as national ISP Internode suspended a range of its Internet services in protest to Telstra’s dominance in broadband backhaul capacity.
Effective today, the national ISP will suspend Tasmanian sales of its eight megabit per second (Mbps) and Extreme ADSL2+ HOME broadband plans until further notice.

The beauty of the Tasmanian countryside is the feeling of isolation you get there. Gazing out over some of the mountains, forests and lakes its hard to remember that we live in an industrialised world filled with billions of people. Nowhere is this feeling more prevalent than on the West Coast,

Un medio europeo considera que es “probablemente el jugador de mejor forma” en el Manchester United y que "sólo no es titular por su carácter". “Es como el Diablo de Tasmania, juega a dos marchas por encima de lo que se le supone a un jugador normal y corriente”, considera el sitio español Sport.es sobre el ex delantero de Boca.En un análisis jugador por sobre el equipo inglés que será el próximo escollo para el Barcelona FC en la Champions League, sostuvo que cuando entra Carlos Tevez la defensa rival desea “que haya un apagón y se suspenda el partido”."Ha logrado que todo un estadio en Inglaterra grite Ar-gen-ti-na como si estuviera en La Bombonera.

Another long exposure waterfall photograph but this time captured at Snug Falls, Tasmania. This really is quite the spectacle when it has been raining hard, definitely worth the walk in even if you drown from the showers. The foreground is foam which some think is the water flicking up, that would be cool. With the [...]
Taken at the Botanical Gardens, Tasmania with a Canon 50 1.8
Ahhh the new wordpress has changed things up so much, I think I prefer the old. Does anyone else blog? I’m always interested to read others, especially when they are posting photography.
Photograph taken at Cradle Mountain, Tasmania
I hate it how our photography develops and we learn to compose shots differently and begin nitpicking old work. For instance, this probably would of worked better a little less cropped in camera. So zoomed out a little and possibly a little less sky. Ahhh you live and you learn.
I arrived in Hobart last night and was taken aback at how cold it was. The temperature was in low 50sF (12C). Thank goodness I have a stocking hat and some long sleeved. The room I have looked like a 1950s motel room with only an electric space heater to keep it warm. The heater [...]
AUTISM CAMPAIGNER SAYS THE TRAGEDY AT CLIFTON BEACH YESTERDAY HIGHLIGHTS THE TOTAL LACK OF ADEQUATE SERVICES AND A TOTAL LACK OF KNOWLEDGE WITHIN GOVERNMENT SERVICE PROVIDERS FOR THE CARING OF AUTISTIC CHILDREN IN TASMANIA. ROGER LAW, Secretary of ATAC, (Action For Tasmanian Autistic Children) said today that the tragedy at Clifton Beach highlighted the total lack of services for Autistic children in Tasmania, and the lack of qualified and knowledgeable professional help for families with autistic children. Mr Law said that on Friday afternoon, he and the missing boy's mother had been with the Commissioner for Children and had raised with him the appropriateness of housing two seriously disturbed autistic children, who did not like each other, in the same unit.

Just one quickly before I goto the gym. This was photographed at the Botanical Gardens, Tasmania with a Hoya R72 infrared filter. I’m quite happy with how this came out as I normally struggle with the after processing.
I was laying in bed this morning thinking how the beach would be if the water was actually of this fairy floss like texture, weird.
As the title states, this was taken at Clifton Beach, Tasmania on sunset just before the weather caved in.
Sometimes I’ll drive around aimlessly, looking for the opportunity to take a shot somewhere. Many times I’ll return home without even getting out of the car. This time things went according to plan and I walked away with this shot captured at Otago Bay, Tasmania. I’m not sure why but I really love reflections, my [...]
Tasmania is quite unlike the other Australian states. This is mainly because of its location. All of Australia’s six states are in the mainland, except for Tasmania. This small island 240 kilometers south of the mainland prides itself as being the “Natural State;” the island is generally unspoilt, with 37% of its land in reserve, [...]

Has Tasmania gone missing??
Imagine my shock when, arriving back at my New York hotel recently after purchasing a new pair of Merrell World Passport slip-ons, with the patented world map on the sole, I discovered that Tasmania, the place of my birth, does not exist in the Merrell world!
Good gracious!
I had been in Tasmania only recently, but a quick check of the “manufactured on” stamp on the box showed that the shoes were newer than my latest visit. This left open the possibility that something had changed in the antipodes, and just maybe that “something” was quite awful.
This really did lay me low: I immediately cancelled plans to attend the Morrissey concert at Madison Square Garden that evening in order to fully think through the implications of this potentially disastrous news. (By a freaky coincidence, the performer also cancelled, leaving thousands of devoted fans disappointed. But not me: by then I had far more pressing matters on my mind.)

Tasmania es una isla de la que muchos no sabrían colocar en el mapa, lo que más se conoce de ella es el llamado Diablo de Tasmania, un marsupial de dentadura muy peligrosa y de hábitos bastante violentos. Pues bien, hace unos días encontraron en Tasmania un auténtico diablo marino: un calamar gigante de dos metros de largo.Ah!! Y Tasmania es una isla situada al sur de Australia.CANBERRA (Reuters) - Un enorme calamar gigante hallado en una remota playa australiana están siendo examinado por los expertos, que creen que podría ser uno de los mayores de su especie jamás hallado.Via La FlechaEl calamar, cuyo cuerpo sin los tentáculos mide unos dos metros de largo, fue hallado por una persona que iba paseando el martes por Ocean Beach, cerca de Strahan, en la costa oeste de Tasmania."Es gigante", dijo el conservador del Museo de Tasmania, Genefor Walker-Smith, a los medios el miércoles. "La longitud total es de unos ocho metros", añadió.Los científicos tomarán muestras de la cr
Warner Bros ayuda al demonio de TasmaniaEsto si hay que celebrarlo, y es que el gigante del entretenimiento destinará parte de sus ganancias a estudio para combatir cáncer que ataca a los parientes de carne y hueso de 'Taz'. Warner Bros. donará parte de los ingresos generados por la venta de las películas de los Looney Tunes, para ayudar a una campaña que busca salvar de la extinción al demonio de Tasmania, hoy la ministra australiana de Turismo, Artes y Medio Ambiente, Paula Wriedt. Según informó el sitio web eluniversal.com.mx, los ingresos serán donados a un fondo administrado por la Universidad de Tasmania para ayudar a la especie en peligro, pues un mal contagioso le está generando grandes tumores faciales. El demonio de Tasmania es un animal parecido al zorro, con fuertes mandíbulas y pelaje rizado. Taz, el personaje de Looney Tunes, es uno de los rivales de Bugs Bunny.Punto para Warner Bros por esta iniciativa y esperemos del mismo modo que otras
You might know from past posts that I am a big proponent of getting out of the hotel and seeing some sights on business trips. On my last trip to Australia I stepped things up a notch by taking off a full week before my meetings and dragged my husband along. We debated visiting the Outback, or Melbourne, and we’d heard Western Australia is gorgeous, but in the end Rod’s post convinced us that Tasmania was worth a week’s visit.
Obviously we were going to have to take the Gordon River Cruise in Strahan.
Driving near Derwent Bridge
It’s got 4 star reviews, and everyone I talked to about Tasmania said it was not to be missed. But the thing is, it’s a long drive to Strahan from Hobart. Like four hours, maybe five. And it seemed like it would be much easier to say stick to the eastern-middle side of Tasmania than go all the way west on sometimes windy roads just for a cruise. When I mentioned this to Rod he shot me a look like I said I was going to Rome,

Tasmania is well know for it’s Hiking and these walks are what I believe to be the best in Tasmania not only that but they are also some of the most picturesque and definitely the most demanding, although I have not ordered them as such. Tasmania really is the Hiking capital of Australia I hope this and the features I have in the works will inspire people to visit and take in some of the world class experiences for themselves.
1. The Overland Track is Tasmania’s premier walking track, starting in the world heratige Cradle Mountain and Lake St Claire National Park at the famous and majestic Cradle mountain it takes you through Tasmania’s central highlands to Australia’s deepest lake, Lake St Claire.
2. The Western Arthurs in Tasmania’s remote South-West is possibly Australia’s hardest walk, it takes you to 22 major peaks and 30 glacial lakes and is home to the stunning Lake Oberon which is a paradise on par with The Beach before The Beach and the To
Although it was incredibly awesome to visit another state, one that I had never been to before, it was even better to get home and reunite with my wonderful family. I could never be a traveling professional as I'm such a homebody and miss my family too much.
But, spending some time in Tasmania was an incredible experience. My pastor and I flew over for a conference so we didn't get much time to travel around and see the sights. However, we did get a little taste.
You can always get a feel for a place by what people grow in their gardens. While I can't account for more than 98% of the Tasmanian population, the gardens I saw in the North-East could easily be categorised by four plants; conifers, pittosporum, proteas and hydrangeas - in that order.
Spruces, pines - of every size and description imaginable, firs and cypresses seemed to abound. This wasn't really surprising considering the climate. We were told the week before had produced a heat wave for the region of 26°
I fly out for Tasmania tonight and won't be back until Monday next week. I'm off to enjoy the sights and sounds of an untamed wilderness in that little island they keep missing off the Australian map. Basking in some of the great gardens Tasmania has to offer, and home to Australia's legendary Peter Cundall, I'm sure I will be able to fill Flickr completely with my photos - NB. don't try accessing Flickr on Tuesday!!!
It has been erroneously mentioned that I am HOLIDAYing, GALLIVANTing and one close friend, not mentioning any names - Marcus - even used the word JUNKET to describe my time away in Tassie.
Let it be known that I will be working. Not very hard mind you, but it is still classed as a working trip.
My pastor, Noel, and I are heading over for a conference which should take up most of the time but I'm hoping that we'll get a little sightseeing in between.
I was hoping to make it to Pete's Patch at the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens but unfortunately we will be
Port Arthur Penitentiary
Taken through the window of the harbour cruise boat during a spontaneous burst of sunshine on a rainy day. The original photo was quite bland, so I had to do some cropping and manipulation with layers in Photoshop to bring out the warmth of the sandstone.
Dove Lake (with Cradle Mountain in the background)
This photo was taken at the start of the Dove Lake walk. Although it had been very misty and snowing even during the shuttle bus ride to the car park, it magically cleared away almost instantly once we got there.
Cataract Gorge Park - Launceston
This was taken in the gardens in Launceston - again it was raining but it reminded me of the grand old gardens in New Orleans with the foliage and mist.
Cascade Brewery
The Cascade Brewery building in Hobart lit up at night. This (like the others) was taken with a Canon Ixus snappy snap camera.
