Bridgewater Bay, Mornington Peninsula for Water H2O Thursday

 

It was an overcast day at Bridgewater Bay, Mornington Peninsula.

A different take on the flow effect.

Balnarring Beach in Mornington Peninsula for Treasure Tuesday

 

It is not monsoon, but it always rains heavily in April and May around here. This shot was rather interesting from 2 weeks ago. The water flow motion is fun.

Joel and I are just busy playing PlayStation instead.

Joel and I came back here on Easter Saturday. Again, I did not get the look I want but it gave me another opportunity to try it again.

Pearse's Beach Mornington Peninsula for Sunday Best

 

A very relaxing evening. Not much walking and hiking involved.

Pearce Bay in Mornington Peninsula for Treasure Tuesday

 

Joel and I discovered this bay in a very low tide on the weekend. Playing with water flow exposure.

I stumbled across this new song by Jessica Mauboy. It sounds really pleasing. She is really under-rated here in Australia. 

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. 

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.

Last weekend was really good that Joel and I got the shots we wanted.

Sunset without clouds is usually looking the same everywhere. Joel tried to get his feet wet for a shot he would hardly process after he got home.

No 16 Beach, Rye in Mornington Peninsula for Water H2O Thursday

 

We missed the lowest tide on the day. I believed the forecast prediction was an error. So we did not get to see Dragon's Head which was already immersed in the ocean. Then I tried to salvage the effort into getting a fine art shot if I could. This will do!

Balnarring Beach Mornington Peninsula for Water H2O Thursday

 

On the day, Joel and I were supposed to visit the abandoned submarine in Hastings. It turned out the wreckage was already removed! It was so upsetting. So we moved quickly to this nearby beach before sunset took place.

I always have an obsession to photograph mini falls from exposed reefs and sea shelves.

This shot reflects a time that I was into the soft dreamy look of a landscape. I do ultra long long exposure too. Funny how time has passed. This was taken 2 years ago.

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.

Montfort Beach, Blairgowrie, Mornington Peninsula for Sunday Best

 

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.
