Two more from the Turimetta Beach series, I was lucky with the timing when I captured Crash and Flow is a 3-exposure HDR that grew on me as I played with the colours and processing more.
Rush and Promise
While at Turimetta Beach on the 11th April, I was experimenting with longer exposures as the waves crashed in and receeded through the channel between the rocks.
Reprocessed – Beam of Light
A couple of days and a fresh pair of eyes can make all the difference.
I’ve reprocessed the images of the Beam of Light I shot at Turimetta Beach because the colour was just all wrong – too much cyan, too much saturation in parts.
I hope you like these better. I won’t tell the story again – read the original post for that. But enjoy these images.
Beam of Light at Turimetta Beach
It was my first visit to Turimetta Beach on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. I hadn’t been there before, but it’s certainly now made an impression on me. It’s a fantastic secluded location near Narabeen, with some beautiful rock structures and formations that give amazing opportunities for seascapes with an interesting foreground. After an uninspiring first hour or two, a break in the clouds out over the ocean gave us our money shot. A magnificent beam of light shone through the clouds into the ocean and finally gave us a focal point to compose around.
Photos from Avoca
These photos round out the session from Avoca on the 11th March, where I captured Sunrise Contemplation. I’m reasonably happy with the mornings efforts, despite the lacklustre sky early on. I’m keen to get out there again soon.
Good Morning Killcare!
It was a good morning at Killcare, on the 4th January 2012 when I captured various nightscapes and seascapes during the pre-dawn and dawn skies. Here’s a selection of new images from that session.
Killcare at Dawn
The orange dawn light begins to creep in the scene. The last of the bright stars shine their hardest before being swallowed by the ever brightening blue sky.
Orange Dawn
As Dawn approached on the last day of 2011 at Kioloa Beach, the orange and purple colours in the sky looked spectacular and I spotted this great reflection of the orange sky off the sand as the waves washed out.
Before the Dawn
The light was magnificent before the dawn on Good Friday, 22nd April 2011. It was completely overcast earlier on, but at the right time the clouds started to part and the sky was lit up with beautiful deep reds and oranges.
Forresters Beach at Dawn with Friends
On the 22nd April 2011 (Good Friday), my friends and I arranged for a dawn photo shoot at Forresters Beach. The actual sunrise shots are coming soon, but first I processed the people – the participants in this shoot. Michael Little, Jeremy Kerwin and myself.
