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.
Exif/setup data:
D7000 coupled with Tokina 11-16mm f2.8 @12mm Aperture: f/8 and Shutter Speed: 73.9s
out front – LEE graduated filter 0.9 and screw in circular polariser
As always, I welcome any suggestions, comments and improvements to my photography, they are always warmly welcomed.

Muddy cliffs was not wrong Gerry. The pano stitched tho so I guess that is some comfort – actually zoomed in to 100% on my shot I can clearly see you taking one like this (with the other tog in front of you (I think you're both a little further forward closer to that square outlet thing))
Sensational
nice composition..great job
