Great Ocean Road | How to Capture EPIC Photos!

Just shot the most breathtaking pics of my life on Australia’s iconic coastal drive—here’s how you can too! 🌊 Why the Great Ocean Road? 276km of jaw-dropping cliffs + wild surf. 12 Apostles: Only 7 limestone stacks remain—eroding fast! Best Light: Noon at the Apostles (perfectly lit, no shadows). 📸 Photo Hotspots & Timing 1️⃣ 12 Apostles (11AM) ☀️ Midday = zero shadows. Use a polarizing filter to intensify blues. 2️⃣ Loch Ard Gorge (11:55AM) 🏞️ Shoot from the cliffside staircase for layered compositions. 3️⃣ Apollo Bay (1:50PM) 🍴 Lunch break + hidden beach angles (fewer tourists!). 4️⃣ Kennett River (3:20PM) 🐨 Snap wild koalas in eucalyptus trees (look up!). 5️⃣ Split Point Lighthouse (4:50PM) 🔴 "Red Hat" lighthouse + dramatic cliff backdrops. 🚗 DIY Road Trip Itinerary 7:45AM Leave Melbourne 11:00AM 12 Apostles (50min) 11:55AM Loch Ard Gorge (30min) 1:50PM Apollo Bay lunch (1hr) 3:20PM Koala spotting (20min) 4:30PM Great Ocean Road sign (20min) 4:50PM Split Point Lighthouse (30min) 8:00PM Return to Melbourne 💡 Pro Tips Reverse Route: Avoid crowds by starting with the Apostles.
