Disproportional Light

Posted on by

Timing and water movement can make the difference between a ok shot and a shot that is dynamic and has depth and form.

Seascape imagery involves quite a bit of waiting to get the right sized wave in the right position – this image was the first of several using the seaweed as a nice little prop, however I was not ready or setup for it, i merely plonked the tripod down knowing full well a nicely positioned wave was coming and did not have time to adjust the graduated filter or anything else for that matter. hence the overly dark headland and water, but on a positive note, i got the horizon bang on 🙂

Inspired by +Jay Patel and his recent bubbles image, thanks for the inspiration mate.

Joined on the morning by the fong man and rudy Rod. (+Cameron Fong & +Rodney Campbell ) Thanks for the company.

Colour Contrast, Vertical goodness

Posted on by

The quaint colour contrast of the rocks caught my eye here, from electric green to the rustic red, I guess its little surprise given the rocks are washed daily from Botany Bay accumlating all kinds of bacteria and organisms , bot natural and man made 😉

traffic

Posted on by

One can never have too many images of city with the worst traffic, well i am sure I am being a bit over dramatic, however.

The day some politician actually builds a second airport in Sydney will be a day of celebration….

or they could just let the floating helipad go ahead 🙂

Imagine being able to land right here 😉

The B-sides

I really wish I had the time to properly go through all the images I take and process them…

This is place where I promised myself I would be back, sadly i have been within kilometres of the location on a handful of occasions and never gone back – next time 🙂

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.

The world underneath

Posted on by

Bradley's Head Marine Nav-Aid

What I love about sunrise is that you are never gonna know were the colour is gonna turn up (if at all) and when it does, all you can do is just make do with what angle, POV, or feature you can. I would have loved to be in another position to take more advantage of the sweet colours, but alas, this sliver of Sydney Harbour has to suffice.

nothing like a sunday morning sunrise in Sydney, some reno's happening at Bradleys head but you can still access the foreshore and amphitheater.

Not a bad pano considering I had just rolled down the hill with a four year old….probably rolled in multiple dog craps on the way down

Sydney Park – the biggest dog park in the inner west and if i see some not picking up their dogs crap I will punch them in the throat.
