Solid Rock

That there is a lonely old rock with some cool rock weed and a neat water flow. I have really missed taking pictures of the ocean, you can turn even the most boring old rock into something nice with a bit of water and colour.

The Photographer

I think all togs have been in this positions at some stage, no not the dude out there, but me, dealing with the crowds of people 😉 ok ok, maybe just the one dude and admittingly he was there first! Turimetta is one of those location in Sydney which has just become synonymous with photography and as a result on any given sunrise or sunset I reckon you would have tog out there bent over a tripod striking a blow for photography freedom 😉

Anyway, when all else fails, use what is presented to you to make the best shot you can, I did as such 🙂 Cheers dude for standing still for over a minute 🙂

Usually its +Suren J or +Rodney Campbell in my shot, but this time rodney was playing on the muddy cliffs and Suren was finding solace in the waves:)

Single frame, there was a dabbling of lightpainting from the left side of the scene, just to give some extra illumination to those sweet textures in the pipeline.

The shelf that got away

welcome to the morning
I was just saying to +Suren J before I took this shot that i really needed another wave like the awesome one that crashed over before to make anything of this spot, well the sea won this time, i did not have the patience to wait for the next big wave set to roll thru .:)

Capturing the Channel

buy your ticket from ticketek 😉

A pretty famous spot just off Narabeen behind the pool, you need a ticket to shoot this place, even on a quiet day or a day with mediorce conditions you will be assured to find a photographer out trying to nail the next best shot.

It is a pretty photogenic channel and there is a conveniently placed pool inflow/outflow pipe for which one could only imagine designed and placed with the photographer in mind!

I had to clone all the other photographers out 🙂
