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.

Wow, the light makes the photo a bit surreal and dreamlike, great job
just wonderful ++++
Nice colors and mood. Out of curiosity – does the Nikon D7000 have an automatic panorama mode, and how might that compare with this 4-stitched-frames panorama?
Such lovely soft colours of sea and sky +Gerard Blacklock in contrast with the crisp grass and sand 🙂 Who knew the shore around that way could look so good? 🙂
Thanks +Lacey Dally and +Maraki Maraki
Thanks +Marina Butkina 🙂
+Mitul Sarkar The D7000 does not have a panorama mode, the panorama technology of phones is pretty darn good now and I am sure there are other camera's out there which do it. However, I think to achieve optimum panos I think you would have to take individual frames and stitch them with photoshop or similiar. Thanks for the comment mate.
+Kitten KaboodleInc eaxactly, it typically does not look this good – it also smells over there 🙂 oil refinery and all…

Interesting Gerry – it feels like a much longer exposure than 2 seconds
I like the colour palette in this one – the water looks very turquoise (like I saw a lot of in Hawaii)
wonderful!!! congrats
Very magical vision, full color photos, concise communication. I love it +Gerard Blacklock
