The Nobbies.

Kaye was off to an exercise class and lunch today with her MS group. So I decided to head over to The Nobbies on Phillip Island. It has been donkeys years since I have been over there. Had a lovely 45 mins drive over listening to The Morriston Orpheus Welsh Male Voice Choir. My cousin Ferris sang with this choir in the 50's in Swansea. I have definitely become a Welsh tragic of some significant proportion. Forty five years in Australia and have never gone back to Wales. Ohh, the memories though!
It was a day of greyness today. No sun showing through whatever. Perhaps I will have a stroke of luck like yesterday when the sun came peeping through.
Unfortunately it was not to be, the sun was ever elusive. I shot some good photographs, but colour-wise they were all very bland. Pretty good tonally though.
I struggled with the best of them trying to improve the colour in various software with little success. They were crying out for a B&W conversion anyway and I eventually capitulated.
This photograph is of a small grouping of islands that lay of the western point of Phillip Island. The long low strip of rock on the top left are home to a colony of Fur Seals, and is appropriately named Seal Rocks. The Great White Shark also frequents this area feeding on the seals and seal pups. These sharks have also been sighted in Westernport Bay. This area is the western channel into the bay. Very scary.
This photograph saved the day, from what might otherwise have been an exercise in futility. I processed the image in Lightroom initially for all the basics. Then used Silver Efex Pro for the B&W conversion. Ohhh, I just love this program.


Much better bigger.
