Sky Nodules

It was like the sky from Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne – the scene was encased in this envelope of cloud that reminded me of the sound proofing foam you get with the nodules looking like they would drip away in any second.

D7000 and Tokina 11-16mm (11mm) @ f16 ans 3 seconds with Lee Graduated filter (with sea spray included for free) and circular polariser.

The warm tones on the clouds were very subtle, it was a warm glow rather than a red burn and thus have tried to preserve the subtley and texture in the processing. A single frame taken to accentuate the water flow and capture one of the many sweet looking rocks at low tide whilst on the backdop of a nodular (ohh yeah.. bet ya never used that word before:) ) sky

I appreciate the comments that people leave and I welcome any suggestions, comments and improvements to my photography, they are always warmly welcomed!

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.

Triptych Illusion

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

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

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

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 ;)

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

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.

Tannin Creek

Kylies Beach, NSW

There is something slightly disconcerting about standing in tea coloured water 🙂
