A moody Tenby Point Sunset at low tide - Streaky sunset

I am trying to learn about cinematic lighting and RGB colour science. Joel is not approving of this. He just wants me to keep going with landscape stuff
This is the spot Joel and I are determined to come back to in future. When the light is more subtle and more dramatic clouds, it would be a winning location for sunset.

Shabby looking sign - the food joint website Soi 38 Melbourne
Beef Boat Soup - a classic
Pork Crispy
This street joint actually hides next to a parking spot next to the boom gate under a large multi-Storey building. It has a cult like following mainly from city workers coming here for a lunch break.

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.
On one of my regular walk in town. The sign has a certain look to it.

The cardiology conference is so boring. The place is filled with wankers. The soothing walk during breaks is my refuge away from the mass of people into their own agendas.

Joel sprained his back. He was hurting like a baby. So we ended up going to city beach for a sunset.
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.
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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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