PERFECT

Don’t you love being in the right place at the right time?

This morning I headed back down to Terrigal, but this time I shot from the Wamberal end of the beach. When I arrived, there was only one lone fisherman, a bit further north than my position, that was unusual as Wamberal beach has it’s fair share of visitors, from fishermen, surfers, joggers, walkers and those who just want to enjoy it. So I set up the camera not really expecting to get anything too spectacular, as I have photographed this beach at so many different times of the day I was merely here just because I love to photograph, anything. But to be treated to this fantastic display of colour was just a pleasure, well worth getting out of bed for.

TO CLOSE FOR COMFORT

This morning I headed down to Terrigal on the NSW Central Coast, to continue my project on shooting the coast at dawn, I was lucky enough to get a lot closer to the ocean on this occasion as the tide was out and fairly calm, my first shot was easy enough but it was the crashing wave that nearly got me,  the one that made me run and think that was close but I hope I got it, I like the best, as it’s a bit like an impressionist painting. I love the explosion of the wave lit up by the rising sun behind and the sharp clear  piece of headland on the left of the horizon just to anchor your eye.

What do you think, does it work?

Monday morning, but no Monday-itus.

Having arrived at the studio this morning, turned on all the computers ready for a day’s work, editing, finnish Bree and Travis album, check my email and what a fantastic surprise, Peri and Kristy from London have booked me for their wedding in January 2010 and I cant wait they have given me some great time to create the best and awesome photography, this is going to be an all stops out event, we are going to rock. If you read this Peri and Kristy many thanks.

Onto a photo a little closer to home the image below is of Toowoon Bay captured before dawn on Sunday, I have only photographed this beach on one other occasion and that wasn’t much of an image, I really think this small beach has something so I’m going to have to keep going back at different times to see if I can crack it, this one shows the Surf Club just before the sun comes over the horizon.

Where is summer.

Because it’s dull, grey and supposed to be summer here and I’m missing the colours and the sun, without the burn, I thought I would post this image I captured a while back that has been used for stock all over the place, mind you the last time someone asked to use it was a real estate company, I shan’t say which, decided after finding out the cost, decided to try and shoot one themselves, because as we all know the new sales rep has a really good camera, (but no idea) and good photography is all down to the camera. Yeah right!

Bateau Bay before dawn

This morning I popped down to Bateau Bay beach. Because I was awake and felt like. I have photographed this place so many times, I’ve lost count, but to come back with something worth while is always refreshing, this morning was no different. I felt this image nedded to be black & white for a change, but to give it a more personal feel, I added some grain, just to soften things a wee bit and be involved with the picture rather than just record the scene before me.
