            Do You See What I See
Hunters & Collectors

We go north to the ocean
We drove so far
But last year's light is shining hotter than the sun
Looking for someone
In a city that I know
But I wasn't round for long
I had somewhere else to go

Do you see what I see?
Do you see what I see?
Do you see what I see?
Do you see what I see?

I see the safest place around (do you see what I see?)
In that city down below (do you see what I see?)
My hands are empty now (do you see what I see?)
And I'm waving as I go (do you see what I see?)

You were gone for a little while
It was a fine, fine line
Between first and second thoughts
We left them far behind
Now we barely falter
Now the long drive has begun
North to the ocean
Hotter than the sun

Do you see what I see?
Do you see what I see?
Do you see what I see?
Do you see what I see?


My third image from The Great Ocean Road section of our week long getaway from Sydney Town.

This image was taken around 1pm in the afternoon, and I had an R72 Infra Red filter on the front of the lens. This filter enabled me to get a 4 minute exposure of the scene in the middle of the day, when the sun was at its highest in the sky.
This is pretty much the best time of day to shoot an IR image, whether you are using an IR converted camera, or an IR filter like I did.

Anyhow, as per every image I shot down here, it was blowing a gale up there on the lookout point, and I was standing on my tippy toes, trying to crouch over the camera, doing my best to shield the camera and tripod from the wind, for 4 minutes.

The hordes of tourists were giving me some very strange looks, but you gotta do what you gotta do to get the shot.

Hope you like "Do You See What I See?"
Cheers, Mike
