Balnarring Beach for Treasure Tuesday

 

It was a high tide on the weekend. So there were only a few locations worth visiting.

I did not get the look I want. There will be more practices in the future.

Currently working for a locum job. So, I can pay the forthcoming holidays. 

Grantville Jetty for Sunday Best

 

This jetty is easy to get to. A nice Souvlaki store nearby. Easy for a silent day

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.

Princes Pylon for Treasure Tuesday

 

Light in the end of tunnel

The rustic pylons of the prices pier are the treasure this week.

Tenby point old jetties for Sunday Best

 

This is lowest tide of the evening from a week ago. There are way too many mozzies potentially carrying encephalitis B virus 

It was a bad planning on my behalf. These muds sink my feet to waist level if I am not being careful at all. So it is all telephoto lens doing the long exposure ineffectively. 

At least this look is not common on instagram feeds.

Star Fish below Princes Pier

 

This frame gives me some creeps and visual impact somewhat. I still like how it looks.

Princess Pier, Melbourne

 

The underside of the Princess Pier is all rusted. The place stinks because of massive deaths of star fish. How lovely an urban exploration ends up in this ugly spot.

Sandridge Pier, Melbourne, Australia

 

Sandridge pier is the classic location to take a sunrise shots of Melbourne skyline

The pier is an easy access. I arrived at 4 am with a significant sleep deprivation. Well, anything for a photo. I did need quite a few more cups of coffee after this.

This pier is an attraction for troubles. It crashes a few times over the year. The place often gets seagulls (sea rats) attacking people randomly. One kid got a blind eye as a result as well. The water smells of organic waste from these flying sea gulls too. 

It looks nice pointing my camera at the sun. Unfortunately these seagulls looked like dusts on my camera sensor!

This spot is revered by many photographers in Melbourne - short travel and ease to set up the gear for long exposure under the bridge

Laowa 9mm f5.6 is a lens that does not have a good flare control. However, it is still an exceptional lens. Also a bit of glare makes the image real lol

Sony A7RIV allows me so much pixel to play with. Good dynamic range helps here.
