For some reason, I have always been drawn to Jetty Beach in Coffs Harbour, especially lately when there have been some amazing colours on display during sunrise.

I might have to try heading west into the bush for a little while and seeing what I can come up with, after all we do have some magnificent creeks, rivers and waterfalls around here as well.

… just another day at the office!

A 48 image panorama taken this morning just before sunrise at Coffs Harbour.

I decided to take the ‘old’ 7D for an outing this morning, and found a nice explosion of colour at my favorite spot in Woolgoolga, just north of Coffs.

It’s amazing how much cleaner I find the files from the 5D mk III, but no matter what, it still was another beautiful sunrise to witness.

Happy Hump Day!

Another beautiful morning at Sawtell.

This image was a little bit of a tricky one to get to work for me. It is a HDR panorama with a total of 60 images stitched together, but getting it to blend together so it looks reasonable with the light changing so quickly was a new challenge…

Sunrise at Urunga was amazing yesterday…. and perfect weather for photography!

This is only part of a 36 image stitch that completes a full 360 degree view of yet another spectacular sunrise here on the Coffs Coast.

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend.

Morning all! I have definitely still been out and about taking photos… But it has been a busy month or so off after finishing my project 365.

I am severely missing having an ultra wide-angle lens that I can use filters on since stepping up to the 5D III, as I do like to shoot wideeeeeeee. Hopefully I can fix this problem soon!

Hope to stop by some other blogs today too, to see what you have all been up to and reply to comments from while I have been away… oh WordPress – how I have missed you!

I have wanted to get out and try out some photography of the night skies with the aim of trying to capture the edge of the Milky Way across the sky for a while now. Unfortunately we have had pretty much non stop rain or at very minimum overcast skies here. No fun for me…

However, I did get a chance to attempt it on one night this week, and mainly played around with a few settings to see what worked best. I have a few ideas for this, but will have to wait for the right conditions… go away clouds!

As a present to myself, I have jumped into the deep and have purchased a full frame camera. My Canon EOS 5D Mark III arrived yesterday after being on back order for 2 weeks.

I’m looking forward to learning what this thing is capable of, and hope to post photos soon!

Well… it’s finally here – the end of my Project 365! Even though it has finished late, better late than never right? I held off posting my last post for the project because I wanted to finish on a high if I could. So I have been waiting for a nice sunrise like today provided, and even managed to get in some light painting over the weekend.

What better way to end with where I started on day 1 – at the Coffs Harbour Jetty. The only problem is I had 2 photos from this morning taken 7 minutes apart that I liked, and I couldn’t decide which to post,  so I will leave it up to you to decide which one you like more. The earlier one was at the start of the post, and here is the one just after sunrise.

A massive thank you to everyone for their support, comments, and likes throughout my extended Project 365.
