Monochrome at Wilsons Promontory
The scouting mission to Wilsons Promontory returned some wonderful images. On the day I visited the Prom the sky was a rich blue colour with almost no clouds. The photos taken on the beautiful beaches demonstrated the lush colour contrast between the deep blue sky and the golden beach sand.
When I got back home and reviewed the images, the rich colours appeared to be distracting the eye from the real subject of the images. I was trying to capture some of the shapes and textures of the Prom but such details were being swamped by the distracting colours. After converting the images to monochrome and dodging and burning a little, “bang”, out popped the details I was trying to capture.
Sometimes there are situations just screaming out for a black and white treatment. 
I’m looking forward to revisiting Wilsons Promontory when the weather cools and there aren’t so many people camping down there. Here’s two images from the day.

As stunning as ever. I’m in awe….so inspiring.
