With my limited travel experiences around our new home of Tasmania, a fellow photographer and friend suggested an early morning lighthouse shoot somewhere near George Town. A 3am start kicked off my morning, arriving at our destination at around 5am, only to find that the gates are closed with no opening times listed. After a quick trip to the nearest town and an even quicker conversation of jumping the fence, we returned to find gates open...yay. All we needed was for the sun to rise (7.30ish). Some moody clouds made for dramatic lighthouse images while we were waiting....waiting....waiting for the sun. Down comes the rain, no sunrise, no light. Oh well moody skies are always my thing. Next stop was a shipwrecked boat which had washed onshore a couple of minutes away, so off we go in the rain to play on the sand with a boat. Cold and soaked, we stopped for breakfast before continuing our Tamar, George Town trip. Further along we found a fantastic waterfall, with a near miss of camera gear floating down the river. A few more stops for boats, docks and clouds, the sun had finally made an appearance and the hours flew by. We ended a great day with a late lunch/early pasta dinner and fantastic images
