About the Photo

This photo was taken on the western beach of Fraser Island in August of 2009, strong currents and wind had pushed alot of shells and Portugese Man-o-war onto the beach in a jumble.

How it was Taken

The photo is taken with a Canon EOS 300D Digital SLR, with a Canon 28-135mm zoom, using the maximum zoom of 135mm and an aperture of F5.6.  The focal length creates a subtle suppression of perspective, and also narrows the depth of field, creating the focal band on the centre of the image.

Where Was it Taken

The map is showing the approximate location between Bowarrady and Awinya Creeks.  The western beach of Fraser Island is somewhere to be very careful, at low tide, there are many salt water pools high on the beach, and crossing these in a car is not a good idea.  The creeks are fast flowing and it is advised to walk through any creek which looks deeper than your ankles.
