Panning Play
Took the tripod out for a bit of long exposure photography, unfortunately the tripod was in desperate need of a clean so I could barely use the legs to change heights. Basically ended up shooting everything at the one height.
Also played with a heap of handheld ICM images every time I moved the tripod.
Got some nice long exposures with water flowing over the rocks and the lighthouse in the background.
Plus a few looking back along North Beach taking in the Norfolk Pines that run along the fence line.
Here I played with some water flow as the waves receded from the shoreline over and around some small rocks. In the gallery you will find a couple more frames with different water flows, always so hard to decide what looks best when shooting the flowing water like this.
Had a play with some longer exposures too, this one was around 10 seconds completely smoothing the water out making the rocks look as if they’re surrounded by a fog. I always love that element of a longer exposure
I continued playing with ICM images starting with a few wave shots as they broke and ran up the beach.
This one used a wider angle to get some curvature in the foreground and threw in some of the beach and land from further north along Fairy Meadow and Towradgi beaches.
Used all sort of different techniques, incorporating surrounding elements in some images. This one has the North Beach Surf Club, along with the sand, a bit of the trees and some water
As always don’t forget to check out the rest of the
images from the morning in the gallery below
I had fun playing around with long exposures for a change, even with the tripod being stubborn. (I did clean it later that day so it should be fresh and ready for my next shoot).
