View large – what i really like about this place was the diversity of the rocks, from the smooth polished rocks in the foreground to the angry and very sharp serrated black rocks in the ocean. Whilst not quite achieving the composition I had in my head, i still liked the lack of scale that the image portrays and also clash of the rock types melded together by the long exposure water.
note the access pole running between the two big rocks in the centre..a bit of balance beam anyone? 😉
not a bad spot to watch from either – keeping our boaties safe, watch for snakes in the grass tho, there were some disturbing rustles in there 🙂
Don't let the name turn you off – prime realestate and some cliffs (behind the shot) that are to die for.
What I find really amazing about doing seascape sessions is the variations in the rock, in the space of only 25 kms the rock on the headlands can change from basalt (well i think its basalt, its black and smooth and fing slippery) to this kind of conglomerate rock.
Probably a geologists dream 😉 Anyway some cranky clouds.

A view from one of the many corners of Queenslake, I quite liked the funky cloud formations and the mirroring effect on the horizon.

I only had to dodge one bull to get there 🙂
Taken with the trusty and very reliable 105mm f2.5 nikkor – one of my favourite (and cheapest) lens
If you know of someone wanting to offload f1.8 version let me know 🙂
North Brother, the European name (by Captain Cook) for the hill in the distance and the place where one of the Dreamtime legend Birpai tribe brothers rests.
Like the Napoleon advertisement, its a crime not to prime view large 🙂
It was a bit wild and woolley out this evening – look carefully and you can see the lightning in two places on the right of the image – don't ask how i stitched a image and got two lighting bolts 😉 its a long story 😉 6 landscape orientation images stitched.
Sometimes its worthwhile braving the elements for a shot and this was one such time, although i and others have questioned my sanity here considering the hill (north brother) in the distance did get fried by lightning 🙂 and I was considering heading up there for sunset 🙂

I can only imagine the pain one would be in if one was to come anywhere near this place in a boat at night even in the mildest of conditions…

Well thats a very fine question and to this day I still dunno..but i do know they eat something from under these lillies.
+Christopher Prins , you are very lucky to live so close to the Cattai Wetlands, this is an amazing location which i am sure I could come back again and again.
View large to find out what this swan is really doing.(maybe just ducking under water to avoid the mozzies and bees?)
If your in the Sydney area, be sure to get down to the rocks and check out +Jarrod Castaing gallery – i know I am going to!

Finally took a few shots of the new gallery. If you haven't had chance to visit yet, pop in and check it out in time for Christmas 🙂

Well done girl – very proud of you and your performance!
Well you cannot accuse the graf artists of not recycling 😉 it would be a boring miserable old bunker without a bit of colour 😉 Better than lighting up the trains at least.
