After looking around at what was shaping up like a very dull and grey day, it started to rain. I was about to gather up my things and head back when a small section the sky lit up. A quick scramble over some rocks, and I managed to snap a few frames away before making a mad dash for cover as the rain got heavier.
You have to love discovering a new location for photography. Sure – the tide was not perfect, the waves were pretty non-existent, and the clouds covering the horizon were killing the light of the sunrise… but I still found some great spots around here. I shall return!
I did a little exploring down Repton/Mylestom way this morning. Sunrise was not the most spectacular due to the storm coming in from the east, but I do like the colours coming through the clouds.
Going from pouring rain to this in 10 minutes was a little bit of a surprise this morning. I was heading south before sunrise, but it was pouring rain. I turned around and headed north where it looked a little clearer. Surprising what a difference a 10 minute drive can bring.
I have been really loving the soft colours lately with portraits. I am not sure whether it’s because it gives it that little bit of a vintage look or just because it improves the focal point of the image – but I love it!
I thought I would put this up here for my non local website followers. It was one of my pictures from Day 166 – More Of The Moon that was printed in the local paper – The Advocate (9/5/2012), and added to the gallery – Super full moon over the Coffs Coast. I was a little proud.
A couple of dolphins were playing 10m off shore from me this morning while it was still pretty dark (So no photos of them this time
), and some pretty awesome colours in the sky after that and just before sunrise. What a way to greet another day!
Mel asked for some more photos from our shoot the other day – Day 175 – A Bit Of Modeling. Would have liked to have finished them all, but I will have to leave the rest for now…. Sorry everyone. Here are a few more until I finish some other jobs on my list.
In continuing the HDR theme I snapped these two this morning. I like the soft colours of the one before sunrise, but I do like the shadows in the one after sunrise… Just don’t know if I quite like the lens flare.
I thought I would try out a HDR shot this morning on sunrise, at the old bunker on top of the hill near Gallows Beach in Coffs Harbour. I have not done a HDR shot for a while, but I think it turned out ok. Processed from 3 bracketed shots in Photomatix.
I thought I would be finished Skye & Lyle’s wedding photos by now, but I am still going… Everyone will just have to wait a little longer!
