I missed the good flow here, there was some nice waves coming in but my patience was low and sure enough the moment i walked away the perfect wave turned up. Next time.

View large, its crime to only look at thumbnails 🙂

Glebe Foreshore, there are some really nice foreshore parks and public spaces around Rozelle Bay, this particular one is a favourite for dog walks and kids parties – what a great mix 🙂

There is also a old school slippery dip, one with rollers, its like going down a conveyor belt, how someone has not yet sued the council i do not know ! 🙂

Unexpected

Posted on by

Even in the most built up areas, where there are rock walls and concrete barriers, it's still amazing to see a bit of greenery just strike a blow for freedom from the oppression of the city.

Go you good thing 🙂

Riding the icy wave

Posted on by

…chased by the white wash. Not the best surf position, nor composition, however the back light on the wave really caught my eye.

Some locals at Maroubra enjoying the decent swell at the southern end of the beach.

A shot between fish and chips :) Cityscapes with the 4 year old

The weather in Sydney has been amazing today , beautifully warm and perfect for the pool and picnics. The sky is still very hazy with local burnoffs and there was some nice colour in the sky tonight, although I did miss the best of it..

Welcome to the little pothole

Posted on by

Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House long exposure, like any landscape shot (and I use that loosely since this image could almost be a cityscape too) often getting the right dynamic range can be a challenge, even with newer, more sensitive sensors often you still need to employ additional techniques to achieve the desired dynamic range, especially when trying to replicate what your eyes saw on the day.

The bigstopper adds another level of complexity to it, these tend to add quite a bit of vignetting, (for my lens anyway) so one must also combat this issue also.

The Natural world meets the City

Posted on by

Sydney Skyline on a smoky sunday afternoon. The super low tide gives one great access to some slightly out of the ordinary shots of Sydney Harbour and the Sydney Opera house. 180 seconds for the water, taken from Mrs Macquarie's Chair.

The many shades of Tamarama

Posted on by

I am finding that my Seascape sessions are no longer complete without some kind of x-tych. Often images that are not strong enough to hold themselves up really shine in concert with others.

Thats making the best of mediocre images for ya 🙂

View large, if at all.

Thanks to +Suren J and +Rodney Campbell for the company.

Sunset with a 4 year old, well 4 years and one day now, I noticed some pretty nice cloud forming today, which btw was perfect for some midair aircraft shots, but I was busy with a 4 year birthday party hence no love there, anyway, so myself and chaos (4 years and 1 day) decide to head out to see the clouds painted by the easter bunny rabbit. Whilst the actual photography side of things is quite difficult when you either have a four year on your shoulders and doing a runner into the bushes every two minutes it is still very enjoyable to spend time together and shoot some pictures
