Beach Lines

We were on our way back from an afternoon photo shoot in Mandurah, testing out some more daytime long exposures when this scene caught my eye for some reason or another.

I handed Archer over and ran towards the water, found a flat bit of sand and snapped this. At first I was not going to post it up here, I liked what I’d captured but it felt too simplistic for me.

However, upon seeing a photo being sold this week for a sweet $4.3M (Link) I figured I’d better cash in and post it up. Ill start bidding at $100K, any takers?

Another week, another photo shoot! Thanks to no daylight savings sunset is happening around 6:45pm at this time of year so I was able to have plenty of light to play around with after collecting my wife from work. We headed straight up the coast to Cottesloe Beach for our near-regular Sunday evening photgraphy outing.

I’ve been having fun experimenting with day-time long exposures thanks to the Hoya filter I picked up. This photograph was taken around 6:30pm while there was still quite a bit of light around, the sky was overcast with some nice clouds heading east so we had this nice contrast as the late day sunlight made the beach and Tea House glow as the sun set behind us.

So here is my cliche shot of Cottesloe Beach done _just_ slightly different from the norm.

Took another run at finding a ‘good’ location at the cliffs, hiked north this time along the coast trying to find a spot to drop down to the water. By the time the sun was setting I had not found such a place, so I framed this one and dropped on my new Hoya ND Filter
to see what would happen.

I think it turned out alright, how about you?
