I realise there is only a small portion of sky visible in this photograph, yet it still fits within the theme. This image was captured during a period when I was completely fascinated by my ultra-wide 9mm Laowa lens. I was captivated by its ability to exaggerate perspective and include vast surroundings within a single frame, and I found myself experimenting with it in all sorts of situations.
This particular shot was taken at the Portsea sea caves on the Mornington Peninsula, Melbourne. These coastal formations, sculpted over centuries by relentless waves and wind, are renowned for their rugged beauty and dramatic textures. The interplay of light filtering through the cave openings and the reflections from the ocean create a mesmerising scene—one that challenges any photographer to balance composition, exposure, and timing. Creativity should certainly count for something, especially when working in such dynamic and unpredictable natural settings.

What a variety of coastal landscapes there are in your area, and all of them are worth visiting.
ReplyDeleteRoentare, you did great with your 9 mm lens looking out of this cave, and including a great shore line photo.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful view! Take care, have a great day!
ReplyDeleteEl buen encuadre justifica la menor proporción de cielo. La imagen es árida pero a la vez bella.
ReplyDeleteI'm imagining you walking into that cave, turning around and going "this is it." Glorious.
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful :-D
ReplyDelete...you captured a beautiful natural frame.
