So, they reckon the buildings have apparently doubled in size since the original design proposal – well, the proof will be in the pudding I suppose, not long now before this skyline is changed forever. Get in while you can for your non-developed Barangaroo Pano or planetoid 😉

The only one you need to know about is the middle one, which was for Sweden!

Towra Nature Reserve – home of the Little Tern bird
This point has been reamed by humans, from attempted grazing, corn crops, to a radar station to oyster farming and finally recognized as a significant wetlands of the Sydney Basin with a little island now home to a thriving population of Little Terns 🙂 and the occasional pelican.

The dynamic range here was pretty large , just that section in the top part of the frame needed some extra help hence the multiple exposures, below that point it was pretty much a single exposure. I really wanted to capture a small amount of that dappled light filtering thru the rocks and trees to illuminate and provide a glow at the top of the frame.
The swirl in the foreground did not really want to play ball, it took several attempts to try and capture a circular motion however, nature wanted more dogbone shapes etc… :-/

Artist license is something every tog uses, whether it simply be the way a image is framed or the way it is processed, images can and do lie 🙂 – this one is no exception, this spot on the East side of Botany bay is probably the only spot I have seen that is not strewn with washed up bottles, rubbish and general crap, just the other morning I was standing in a spot several kilometers to the south of here and all around me on the shoreline was all manner of rubbish – and that was in the Nature Reserve section of the Bay 🙂 So, this is not really a true representation of the true nature of Botany Bay.
However, I have chosen to try and portray this particular composition as something one would see at Jervis bay, a place which I wish I could visit more often 🙂 For those not familiar with Jervis Bay, it does apparently have some of the white-ist sand in Aussie land and whilst a bit full of old naval junk it is pretty clean 😉
So here you have it, Botany Bay, from Kurnell, the city lights and new shipping terminal just in sight on the horizon.

Dutifully equipped with two very sharp front teeth means everything cops a chew and a good covering in slobber..including my phone, which will never be the same. :-/

The multiple falls over the various rock levels made for a perfect panorama composition, the sun was in full force but limited to lighting up the upper falls.
This is but a small portion of the falls, there is basically a whole extra layer above this, each with its unique and very lush set of ferns.

Not much out there in Botany Bay to really fill the foreground to complete a shot, however on several of the little headlands (essentially man made due to the breakwalls) there some nice grass knolls. There was also some nice colour developing out on the left.
Was a tad unexposed really needed about twice the shutter time, but was running outta time fast!

Normally for me photography is a opportunity to gain some solice, some time to myself, however this is often not possible with the family and two young girls. Hence I have taken to asking chaos (the older one) if she would like to come along and help, well I don't need to ask her twice.. 🙂
Soooo.. i think I can call it a success, time well spent with chaos and i did get a few shots I like out of it, which leads me to the next point – I did not actually press the shutter button for this panorama, chaos had control of the wireless remote and pressed it for the 12 shot bracketed pano 🙂 so technically she probably holds part of the copyright 🙂
It was enjoyable, if not alittle frustrating 🙂 instructions were given to press the shutter remote when I was ready and said so.. well she took immense enjoyment and plenty of giggles at pressing the shutter release midway me setting the shot up or swivelling the camera for the next bracket which left me with lots and lots of shots of random compositions 🙂
Anyway, this pano did work out ok, thanks for the laughs chaos.

Coalcliff, NSW, Australia, part of the great region just south of Sydney. Coalcliff is called that for the literal meaning, the cliffs here oozing with coal, you can see the layers of coals in the cliffs and quite often when snorkelling/diving down here there is lots of it on the seabed.
Continuing my quest for some reasonable hour seascapes, i found this little gulley exposed by the low tide, the water trickling over the rock is actually coming from behind me on the other side of the headland/rockshelf, the waves were pumping and sending large amounts of water across the shelf to run off at this spot, by the time it got here is was nothing but a little trickle , thankfully 🙂
This image was taken shortly after the one in this post and with the same settings, simply recomposed and focused.:
