Not much of a Sunrise
A long busy week saw me crash out hard around 8pm. I had not planned to go out as the forecast was rain and more rain, but “early to bed early to rise”. Wide awake at 4am I decided why not. I opted for somewhere out by the bay so I could catch up with my poppa once done. I decided on Wellington Point as I am still eager to capture a great shot from this area.
As per the weather forecast it was raining, quiet heavily. If I was going to stand any chance I needed an umbrella (ella ella). I made a pit stop at a petrol station, to my surprise they actually sold them. By the time I got there the rain was only intermittent, and it certainly wasn’t going to be anything spectacular…
It was very windy, I tried my luck with my new Vari-ND to have the clouds and waves streaking off to the corners of the photo. Err that didn’t work, a little too ambitious I think seeing as this is the first time I have used it. (OH! btw I ordered some new filters from Singh-ray they were a Vari-ND, Gold-n-Blue Polariser and 4stop Reverse Neutral Density filters. I never got a chance to blog about that.)
Now the Gold-N-Blue polariser this was fun…
Test Shot - Gold Jetty
Test Shot - Blue Jetty
Pretty cool filter, should be great camping next weekend. And now some creative expression 
I will be posting some more info about these filters in the coming weeks.
On the way back I stopped off at Poppas. I couldn’t resist grabbing the camera and photographing some of the rain drops around in the garden. This first one is great you can see the reflection of a flower.
The Rainbow Lorikeets were enjoying them selves in the rain.
And I have left the best one for last.. High quality close up.
Brisbane CBD Sunset
Was an interesting sunset this evening, I originally went out to grab an early dinner, but to my suprise there was a storm on the way. I went to kangaroo point (yeah same old place I know)
This photo isn’t a HDR, and it really was like this, the sun was setting on the other side of this rain/myst.
After waiting for the rain to pass I walked down to an overpass on main st. I have been wanting to take some photos from this location for a while. The lightning was great from here, however I failed to capture it successfully. This is the best shot I got…
Archives
I have been trawling through the archives for photos I may have missed…
Fingal Heads
Went back into my archive of photos and revisited the Fingal Heads Sunrise, back in December 2007.
