With camera in hand and in the company of good friends, today was an ideal chance to explore and photograph a few areas of the Mornington Peninsula.  Of course one must get their priorities right, so it was essential to stop off at the local coffee shop in Sorrento and sample their famous vanilla slices along the way.

The timing and lighting wasn’t ideal for that perfect shot, but it did give us ideas for a repeat visit when conditions better suited the camera. Given what I managed to capture on the day, the following images lent themselves to some special treatment and even I was quite surprised with the results. I rather like the artistic painting effect, something I was never any good at with a brush.

All in all the day was most enjoyable and the images became a bonus.
