Pirate Bay Sunset for Skywatch Friday

 

We timed the sunset time well. As soon as we got out of the car, the sun was ready to sink.

I got a cardiology conference to attend this weekend. So no more nature hunting with Joel. Dreadful.

Magic land in Cape Woolamai Surf Beach for Water H2O Thursday

 

The rising tide is invading the beach Joel and I are walking on. Every 10 minutes, a large wave comes up a few more metres onshore. The receding water looks mesmerising.

Pirate Bay rising tide for Treasure Tuesday

Joel and I are doing the routine weekly nature photography. It is good for happiness as I read from the latest research. The smell of the ocean is just so soothing.

Pinnacles, Cape Woolamai, Phillip Island for Skywatch Friday

 

The waves give the look I was looking for with 3 second exposure there.

Finally, I accessed this area on the weekend. Especially with a high tide. My camera was splashed by rogue waves a few times.

These green plants make the slope even more slippery. 

CHE - Vietnamese desert shop for Sign2

 

Joel and I got hooked onto this franchise stores selling "traffic lights" desert. He rang me up and we went to buy this on the weekend. Che Desert

Nyah West Sunrise for Sunday Best

 

Nyah West is a tiny town in the outback. This is a sunrise shot that I rarely take in my hobby.

Lotus for Treasure Tuesday

 

I took mum to a lotus garden that is in season. It was a nice walk.

Finally caught up with Joel for a sunset shot at Altona Beach. The weather was meh. But we ended up talking about politics most of the time. 

Portsea Back Beach in Mornington Peninsula for Sunday Best

 

The sea shelf exposed in the low tide often gave a photography interest for long exposure pleasure.

Yesterday I had a yum cha lunch with Leonid who visited Australia from US this year. We caught up and chatted for hours. He was trying to get me to work in US while I was trying to lure him back to Australia. 

Childer's Cove, Warrnambool for Water H2O Thursday

 

It is interesting that some of the shots I took at the time did not appeal to me. Sometime later, they seem quite sentimental.

Melbourne Skyline for Sunday Best

 

It was hot and humid. Instead of heading to the coast, I visited an old spot doing skyline sunset shot.

Pulpit Rock dusk long exposure for Water H2O Thursday

 

This location is always the favorite spot for landscape photographers. Only 20-minute drive from Southeast Melbourne.

No 16 Beach, Rye, Mornington Peninsula for Sky Watch Friday

 

Gloomy and dark. The mini waterfall is a bonus for the dull sunset. There is reflection in the water hole too.

Pulpit Rock, Cape Schanck, Mornington Peninsula for Water H2O Thursday

 

I kind of dragged Joel along to this location again. We often encountered overcast sky with zero colours.  The waves hitting on the rocks vibrate the whole ground steadily. This was often why I got crappy shots here doing long exposure. This time, the tide was unusually low that there was not much vibrations on the ground level.  

Joel went onto the other side of this coast which was said to be popular with photographers. His view was photo bombed constantly and I could hear him swear from a distance. Haha

I bumped into this old song today. I loved the tunes so much.

Gibson's Steps for Sunday Best

 

I was here for a long exposure expedition. It turns out a quick snap works out better just needing a better timing on the wave.
