Normally this coast is looking bleak and grey. Finally a moment of blessing.

My long wait is finally worthwhile. It took me 3 weeks to find this moment.

In Warrnambool, a lot of Asian restaurants are run by Aussie cooks. It took me a long time to finally discover a Thai restaurant with original Asian style menu. Now I am eating at it on the daily basis.
There is a location called Magic Rock off Warrnambool coast. However, I cannot access the location as I do not have a 4WD. That was one of my goal to finally get a pic from there. Pity

It supposed to be a stormy weekend. On Saturday morning, there was a 2-hour cloud break among the thick cumulus clouds.
I rushed through the routine and driving to a few locations in a hurry. Finally managed to get a few shots both in drones and camera.
Forecast is telling me another week of storms...

Since I arrive this coastal town, the rain has been non stop. For the weekend, I was expecting a terrible storm until a cloud break close to sunset hours. So I quickly fly my drone to get a view off Stingray Bay. The wind nearly took my drone away into the sea...
At least, I got a shot here and there before the storm took over. So sad.

Finally the wind was a lot less on the weekend. Finally a view I really like.
I am now in Warrnambool for a 5-week locum work. Hopefully I get enough interesting weather for photography.

A sunny day to do long exposure. No clouds in the sky though.

No long exposure here. Just a quick snap that gives a totally different feel from the frame.
I am preparing this post as I had 2 failed to show attendances in my clinic this morning.

There is no epic sky. Just the same overcast weather with constant drizzle. There is also no parking available in the area on weekends. So one can only visit during the weekdays.

I realise I love photographing water and street candids. Street candids is an acquired taste due to my association with a former world class street photographer when I was in university years. Water photography on the other hand is a pattern I notice in my portfolio as well.

P.S. I finally received my camera after infra-red filter conversion. After 8 weeks! I will be testing the n520 wavelength filter in street photography tomorrow. Can't wait!
I did not wait until the sunset for this shot. The rock is called elephant rock which does not look like it from this angle.

There was this Nikon Guy who tried to stand in front of me while I already set up my tripod in this location. So I had to move forward to get him out of my view. Talking about etiquette

Among many trips to this location this year, this was one of the unique photo where I managed to get my whole pants soaked wet by rogue waves. However, the silky flow in the foreground works out well.

This was taken from a while back in my Brisbane trip. Joel and I accidentally found this mangrove bunch near the coast.
I was worried the sea breeze would move the tree branches too much causing motion blur during the long exposure.

For me, sea is my treasure. The gentle hiking and the smell of ocean just cleanse my worries away.
By sunset, it was pouring rain on us. We ended up discovering another fish and chips shop run by Greek grandfather. The snapper and souvlaki were so yummy and delish!

Long exposure shot from a different angle on the large rock. I really like the silky waterflow.
Joel and I gonna venture into Bridgewater Bay again. This time mainly on a sea shelf during semi-low tide by sunset.

The sea is turbulent. The sky is actually less angry than what happens beneath it.

Today though little chance of rain but the sky was completely overcast. Joel rang me saying he was too bored needing to do something. So we came to this same location from 2 weeks ago. This time, it is high tide. It was good for long exposure. The cloud break allows us to see some colours too.
One Aussie chap was brave enough to enter this water which was pretty much freezing. The torrents were so severe that we thought we could lose him into the sea as well.
