Diamond Island, Bicheno, Tasmania, Australia

2 kilometres north of the quiet East Coast Tasmanian town of Bicheno is a small island by the name of Diamond Island, a private property owned by the resort a short walk from the island. The island can be reached when the tide is low, exposing a small sand bank connecting the island with the mainland, which can be accessed by foot. On this island is a vast array of wildlife, including a rookery of a few thousand little penguins.

The photo here has been taken from the far west end of the island, looking out over part of the east coast. Unfortunately the tide was not very high and the wind was not the strongest at the time, so catching big surf on the camera proved a little trying, and took some patience. I didn't have my tripod on me either, so the image is slightly blurry in places due to the fading sunset light. This was the best image in my opinion out of the 100 or so I took of the pounding surf. I'm quite happy with the way the image turned out, and I hope you agree also. A gradual sunset filter was used to cast some warmer colours on the image.

Thanks for taking the time to view it!

NB: `londonxpress has inspired me to write more info on each of my photos, to give you, the viewer, a little more insight into how the photo was captured and any intentions I had in taking it at the time, and also some general background info on the locations.
