Great Ocean Road - No. 1
I just got back from the Tom Putt Digital Landscape Photography Workshop held along the Great Ocean Road. (see this thread)
Based on my experience with this one I would highly recommend any of Tom's workshops. Here is the first of my favourite shots from the trip. 
This was taken in near darkness with a 60 second exposure at f/10. I could not believe the colours captured in such low light conditions. The rest of my favourites are here Cheers Dean I intend to live forever. So far, so good.

Wow Dean, what fantastic results. Well done. Very impressive.

In about 1974 I travelled the Great Ocean Road and still remember it as the most stunning scenery I've ever seen. Your shots are brilliant. I especially like the first and third on your web site. If I lived in Melbourne I'd be signing up for the workshops right now (in fact I would have signed up for the one you went on when I read about it the first time). Edit:Looking at the EXIF it's hard to tell what lens you used - 12-24? Last edited by stubbsy on Tue Mar 15, 2005 2:29 pm, edited 1 time in total.

Dean,
 WOW !
These are truly great shots, I have tried to capture that spot so many times along time ago and couldn't nail it. You have! beautifully. Well done. Mic. 
Foreground makes a shot KICKASS !
WOW fantastic results....
Mind you standing that close to those cliff's in "near darkness" is a bit hairy. Mal
I've got a camera, it's black. I've got some lens, they are black as well.
Stubbsy, I used the Sigma 12-14 and the Nikor 24-120VR. This particular shot is the Sigma 12-24 which I am now in love with (as well as my 50 1.8 of course). Lens details now updated on PBase. Greg and Mic, Thanks. Cheers Dean I intend to live forever. So far, so good.

Mal, Thanks. We set up our tripods and gear before it got dark so I was happy with being so close to the edge. We left 15 minutes after this shot was taken and had to use torches to make our way through the scrub. It was as dark as the inside of a cow.

Dean - I can only add to what others have already said. Magnificent shots and I would like anyone to try and knock the Sigma 12-24mm - one of my favourites

Dean, i've been hanging out to see the photos you guys took. Fantastic is all I can say. I love shots right after sunset. I think the colours are magic. I've looked at a couple of the workshops and will have to seriously consider now.
Thanks for sharing.  Nicole

They are fantastic. Ken Duncan would be happy with thse shots.
Just goes to show that you can get great photos if you think outside the square and outside your comfort zones. Standing on the edge of a cliff after dark would be well outside my comfort zone.  Steve.

Utterly brilliant Dean
Best landscapes I've seen on here. You should be selling those. Yet more points to the humble Sigma 12-24! Wollongong Wolves, Manchester City, Newcastle Utd. D70 Freak!
Great shot Deano. 10/10 for Execution, 6/10 for Subject
Although that's not my opinion. Was reading an article in an English Photomagazine about overdone photographs. They basically say never try and just go to a place where everyone takes photos, but try and capture something spectacular and fairly unphotographed.

Great job, well done.
I'd be proud having captured those photos. Looking forward to your next photos. Cheers CD
Excatly. This was a spot which tourists don't get to. We had to park at the secret place and then fight our way through the knee high scrub to get to the edge of this cliff. As we sat here in fading light we could see the flashes from the PHD cameras on the public viewing platform further down the coast. A unique perspective of the Twelve Apostles is a big ask as they have been photographed to death. A shot from the beach would be uncommon but only Ken Duncan is allowed access to take that one. Cheers Dean I intend to live forever. So far, so good.
