Australia 12 Apostles, Great Ocean Road, Victoria
Located within Port Campbell National Park, these limestone stacks are inevitably succumbing to the ceaseless motion of the ocean. At last count there were 9 remaining Apostles.
Photography Tips
Sunset during the winter months is the best time to shoot the 12 Apostles as the sun sets right behind them. In summer the sun sets to the south, well to the left of the coastline. Dawn on a clear morning also highlights the pastel hues in the sky.
Inclement weather and stormy seas also offer the chance to shoot dramatic seascapes as long as you can handle the accompanying howling winds.
