Sunday i ventured out in the hope if getting a decent sunset photograph of Crawley Bay / Nedlands foreshore in Perth, Western Australia. I was relatively happy with the resulting image. I've also got some panoramas to work up as well that should make for a great feature shot on a wide wall. These will print at over a 1 metre long at full resolution.
I havn't had a chance to add this image to the online shop as yet but if you're interested, please let me know and i will organise ASAP. I'm trying to make an effort to get out and capture some decent Perth landscape photographs while winter is still here as it offers the chance to get some interesting lighting and cloud formations that you don't commonly see in summer.
This is a photograph of the Margaret River Mouth in the South West of Western Australia in August. My biggest accomplishment with this photo was getting enough blood into my fingers to operate the camera. It was probably my coldest experience as a photographer. I got up at 4.30am and from our Redgate accommodation made the trip to the River Mouth by about 4.45am. Needless to say I was a little early for the Sunrise. Sitting in my car in the pitch black till the first glimmer of light began to appear at about 5.30 i made my way down the rocks to the beach. I could of really used a torch, so instead i fired off periodic flashes to see what obsticles lay in front of me.
This shot was taken looking inland up river and was about a 2 minute exposure. For any tourists and visitors from overseas and interstate i can't recommend this area of Western Australia enough. Only 3 and a bit hours drive from Perth, it is truly one of the most beautiful places in Australia. Filled with wineries, untouched beaches, old growth forests, caves, furniture & art galleries I highly recommend a visit.
I'm finally getting around to getting to the mass of Vietnam photos. These were taken in between Dalat the picturesque mountain town and on the way to Nha Trang on the train. The landscape of the rice fields was pure luck as we were hurtling along at a hundred kilometers per hour i stuck my camera out the top of the window and snapped some at the highest shutter speed i could.
Finally made it to a Red Bull Air Race. I felt i had to given how much the State Government pays to have it here each year for the past 3 years or so. At least i get some value from my tax dollars. It was quite exciting for the first half hour or so. I must admit it gets a bit same, same after a while, but not a bad event.
