Trip to Tasmania – Day 6

Hobart to Tasman National Park and Port Arthur Historic Site – 100km along the Arthur Highway.

This is the beginning of another exhausting day. Driving in early morning (7:30am) was quite enjoyable as the sun was dissipating the fog in the valleys and warming up the atmosphere for a great day.

The plan was for another sea tour in the morning, this time around the east coast of Tasman Peninsula, and a visit to Port Arthur in the afternoon.

The boat tour departed from Eaglehawk Neck and went along the east coast of the peninsula, passing by O’Hara Bluff (main Posting), Cape Hauy (
WS1), the Candlestick (WS2), Cathedral Rock, Cape Pillar, Tasman Island and Port Arthur.

Hello Antonio,
That is a beautiful but rugged and inhospitable coastline, I'm surprised the tour boat took you so close, there must have been a small ocean swell running.
I like your use of the CPL it has worked perfectly on the sky. With your WS2 I saw that on a channel nine show a couple of weeks ago it was called "You Saved My Life". It was a bout a couple that were climbing the central pillar of rock when a piece of rock broke off and hit the male climber on the head, he wasn't wearing his helmut at the time and he would have died if it hadn't been for the quick thinking of his girlfriend.
I'm enjoying your trip to Tasmania with you, tfs.
Regards
Peter

I Antonio.
Very impressive view of this rugged looking coastline, catching some glancing sunlight amidst the shadowy part of the cliffs and those wispy clouds of summer in the nicely polarised sky. I haven't been to Tasmania for about 30 years, but your shots are making me think seriously of another visit.
Regards,
Andrew

Dear Antonio

Tasmania looks to be worth spending time there, especially when looking at your pictures. The bold as well as dramatic riff holding back the angry sea sets a very good contrast to the blue sky. Great sharpness, vivid color and perfect DOF. Congrats

Best regards
Urs

Olá António,
Boa foto para mostrar esse tipo de costa rochosa. Este primeiro plano, encostado à direita, como que segura o resto.
O céu é que ficou muito escuro em cima à esquerda.
Os WS são boas fotos e bons complementos para apreciar este litoral rochoso.
Bom domingo!
Francisco

Hi Antonio
Nice dramatic coastline under a fine blue sky, the view shortens a bit fast on the left, maybe a second image and a stitch would have served you better
Have a nice day JY

leonorkuhn (13957) 2009-07-05 7:20

Olá Antonio,

Linda imagem deste costão rochoso, selvagem. A navegação costeira deve ser um tanto perigosa, por causa destes rochedos.
Excelente ponto de vista, lindas cores e ótimos detalhes.

Uma boa semana para ti.
Leonor

Hello Antonio,
Very beautiful picture of a spectacular and rough coastline.
Excellent sharpness and beautiful colours.
Best regards, Paul

wgreis (6084) 2009-07-05 12:01

Olá Antonio,
o céu... indescritível.
A textura das diversas camadas da rocha também estão ótimas. As ondas quebrando por entre elas também me agrada.
Parabéns, grande abraço,
Wagner.

Pleasant colors and good point of view: a boat tour provides usually different but interesting points of views.

All the best,

Bela costa rochosa que foi muito bem registrada aqui, com o contraste muito bom entre suas formas, texturas e cores com aquelas do mar e do céu!
Parabéns, abraços e até logo!

Wild and beautiful country along that part Tasmanian coast Antonio. Great composition and colour. The WS photos add to the drama of the area - I hope that you're not one for sea sickness.

Lindo trabalho aqui. O enquadramento está excelentes e as cores muito bonitas. Para uma foto sobre um barco e com f/8, a definição está realmente muito boa.

Abraço

Spectacular the cliffs. Excellent colors and contrasts. The different blue colors of the sky and the sea. Well done. Love it !
Un saludo muy cordial,

Hello Antonio,
yes - great rugged cliffs. This looks like a rough ride.
'I wonder how you have managed to catch the blowhole effect here an a almost levelled horizon. As you are a native portugese this might be a dumb question - sorry, jut in case! TFS

Olá Antônio,
impressionante essa vista e a altura do rochedo, e as cores em sua foto ficaram ótimas, assim como o contraste.
Parabéns e Abraço

Greg1949 (8515) 2009-07-07 4:09

Antonio, wow this is an impressive coast line and your photo is crisp and the colors are wonderfully saturated and the polarizer controls reflection and blues the sky in a great way. Superb post.

Greg

Olá Antonio,
Muito linda esta perspectiva desses grandes penhascos que entram e saem para o mar.
A luz é soberba e excelentes cores.
Um abraço,

marietom (32062) 2009-07-07 13:33

hello Antonio,

superbe paysage, bien composé, dans un beau format.
Bonne soirée
Marie

stego (22400) 2009-07-07 17:12

Olá António,
Dá um certo ar de muitas partes da costa portuguesa, o que por si só sugere que é muito bonita. Gosto imenso do uso da diagonal, da nitidez e das cores bem saturadas.
Como acontece frequentemente, os WS's mereciam ser posts principais. O "candeeiro" pode não ter a melhor iluminação, mas o que mostra compensa largamente esse pequeno defeito de que o fotógrafo não tem culpa nenhuma.
Um abraço,
José

jhm (83193) 2009-07-09 4:38

Hello Antonio,

Very impressive view of this rugged looking coastline, together with the white waves.
Also these picture is colourfully and excellent presentation.
Excellent picture the colours are wonderful and details are good to.
Very well done, TFS.

John.

mikolaj_kawa (31041) 2009-07-11 1:27

Hello Antonio! Superb composition. Amazing rocks. Wonderful sky. Marvelous colours. Perfect sharpness. Ideal effect. Good work. Good luck!

batalay (21140) 2009-07-11 18:43

Olá Antonio,

Through your camera lens it's been a vicarious experience seeing the diametrically opposite point on the globe from my own. I always had the mistaken view that Tasmania was a flat island. This is rugged terrain of hills and mountains, and judging by the strata, of very old rock. In the tectonic migration of Australia from the ancient Pangae some 200 million years ago, Tasmania must have come along, rather than emerge much later from the sea floor.

Warm regards,

Bulent

gunbud (28121) 2009-07-13 19:28

Hi Antonio,
Beautiful view of these rugged cliffs linning the shores.
Lovely blue sky with just a hint of lingering fog. The blue of the sea and sky is quite striking.
Regards, Tom

delpeoples (6634) 2009-07-25 4:56

Hi Antonio, how are you, long time no speak, I've been away. Beautiful shot here, this Tasmanian series of yours is giving me itchy feet already. You've done well with this shot: great exposure, saturation and most of all - steady hands - as I know taking shots from a boat in rough water isn;t the easiest thing to achieve. Excellent work, TFs, Lisa.

plimrn (19694) 2009-08-01 17:00

Ola Antonio,
You're my kind of traveler with your many boat tours! You really captured beautiful blue sky and sea. We visited in early spring and encountered snow coming over Cradle Mountain from Port McQuarie back towards Hobart.
SAA, Pat
