Cold and Wet Snakey Sea

Posted on November 13, 2013 by gerry

I always enjoy find a nice 'S' curve to compose with in the seascapes, but this one just takes the cake. The whitewash of the ocean lit up the channel for a few seconds on each rogue wave set.

All part of Goanna head, now thats a really aussie name for a location.

Just some little 'ol green rock hanging around until the tide wandered back in.

I never tire of green rocks, the ability to transform a frame from a featureless boring thing to something with interest and a anchor is always a pleasure to see.

Tread Carefully

Posted on November 13, 2013 by gerry

Whilst contemplating life on the edge of the sea, my thoughts were far away with the thousands who have suffered in the Philippines recently (and continue to do so).

We may have crazy bushfires and bizarre floods here in oz, but really, we have so very much to be thankful for.

On a lighter note i did tread in the pool, its fing deep, then got attacked by man eating spiders. 🙂

very very rarely do i ever invoke anything mildly related to religion, but

Thankyou to the impromptu model – its a shame I could not do her and the scene justice.

Well it is that time of year again, sculptures by the sea, a great time to view the scenery at Glamamara.

View large, you know its a crime not to!

As usual and its becoming a dirty habit, +Suren J and +Rodney Campbell and myself get together and smash some light all in the name of trying to create something different than the run of the mill sculpture shots.

Its a wild world out there in sculptures by the sea, there must be a million bucks in photography gear alone on each given day as enthusiasts flock to grab a shot.

anyway, the ball full of water was on my list of ones to do – given the security guard was not gonna let us anywhere near the actually ball (grr) meant that i was not gonna get to do my bum cheeks against the ball, or my GP-5 mask or any EL wire….party poopers..

anyway so the following had to suffice. a pair of 15 dollar lasers (less than 1mw – so don't get excited or ) and coloured torch was all that was needed.

+Rodney Campbell on the red colour and myself and +Suren J on the lasers, however i think suren was more interested in lighting up the nudie couple in the house across the bay.

Posted on November 6, 2013 by gerry

Welcome to the sculptures, 2013, we need more flexible security guards, they just don't understand art 😉

View this large, you won't regret it, money back guarantee

+Suren J you missed the car – next time dude.

Triptych Illusion

Posted on November 3, 2013 by gerry

The view you can see here is that looking south on Botany bay, each image has the background as it appears in 'real life' , ie on the left, the entrance to Botany bay, the middle looking toward Kurnell (with a bit missing:) but hey, thats my artistic license) and on the right, Sans Souci. However the foreground is a different view on the same distinctive rock, each from a different side.
Clear as mud?

As always, view large, there is very little point looking at the thumbnail..where's the fun in that?

Path to redemption

Posted on November 3, 2013 by gerry

I wish I had a bigstopper for life, it would get rid of all those crowds at my leisure – except for those clever clogs who stay really still for minutes at a time…

Sweet bay ride.

Australia's Gateway

Posted on November 3, 2013 by gerry

In the distance you can see the entrance to Botany Bay, the infamous port upon which Captain Cook (April 1770) sailed on in…
It would have been amazing to see this bay before it was colonised…

Dare to be different

Posted on November 2, 2013 by gerry

As always, view large, its a crime not to 😉

Caution – loose Rocks, yeah, when has that ever stopped anyone 🙂

This breakwall had style, it had individuality from the other 30 on the bay, all because of the odd little ( or not so little i guess) rock.

Welcome to Botany.

It had wanna be a good fish ;)

Posted on October 29, 2013 by gerry

I reckon if you get swept in here, even in the mildest conditions I would rate your chance as slim or buckleys 🙂

Beautiful, but dangerous, not only the sea, but the geology too, the conglomerate rock is very loose and prone to break away underfoot.

Kattang

Posted on October 29, 2013 by gerry

As always, its a crime not to view large.

I love the days and the locations which enable me to capture a scene with both the bright warm sunrise/sunset and the incoming (or outgoing) darkness.

Our country needs more reserves and parks like this, these kind of views and country should be accessible to all, not just a select few with the ability to buy land and build on the edge.
