2012 in photos

I had been meaning to come up to Narrabeen late at night for a while now. It has council lights that mess with the colours until around 10pm, which is great for swimmers, not so much for photographers. Tonight I … Continue reading →

I was using Dad’s workshop for an hour or two this afternoon so I took the opportunity for a quick poke around his garden for some photos. I am told this flower is a nigella. Its quite a nice flower, … Continue reading →

Fishermans Beach. Just for fun I went for a walk up and down the beach while the exposure was happening. I would like to say it was a fisherman coming back from an evening on the rock platform, but just … Continue reading →

Little Manly.

Just the tip of the iceberg…

It was a magical afternoon today. The day was one of those hot, heavy days that sydney gets in summer, not august, where you could tell early in the day there was going to be a storm later in the … Continue reading →

Sydney Harbour Bridge at night. I have been meaning to come down here since this project began and tonight seemed to be the night for it. I couldn’t stay too long but now I have seen it again I will … Continue reading →

I thought I would catch more of the washed up boats tonight from fridays storm and crazy weather before they are returned to their moorings. These ones are just around in the next bay from yesterdays photo in little manly. … Continue reading →

Up at Turimetta Beach this afternoon for a walk around the rock platforms. The waves were very flat so I could carefully go out onto the mossy sections where you would otherwise get washed away on bigger swell days.

I hadn’t been to Clifton Gardens before, it was one of those place I skimmed over when thinking about places to photograph. Today I was there just before 5pm and it was really lovely. It is quiet and calm, beautiful … Continue reading →

I went up to Mona Vale this afternoon, the first time I have been back since my disastrous morning a month and a half ago. This time there was no chance I was going anywhere near the water though, I … Continue reading →

I was back up at North Curl Curl again this evening just as it was getting dark. I was hoping the swell would be bigger to wash over the pool; I’ll go back later for that photo, but I was … Continue reading →

I went back to North Curl Curl this afternoon, Last time I was here it was high tide and huge waves were breaking over the rocks and pool so I didn’t get a chance to have a look around. Today … Continue reading →

I went down to the pool near shelly beach to make some sparks this evening. Since I started plaining with sparks a few months ago, I thought these sculptures of sea nymphs, Oceanides, would be a perfect backdrop for a … Continue reading →

I have been planning to do a particular star Trails shoot at long reef for months now. I need the sky to be clear of clouds, low tide at a reasonable time of night, little moon and several other things … Continue reading →

Red and blue doors, North Head Manly. These are part of the gun installations built to protect Sydney Harbour during the world wars. There are a network of tunnels, lookouts and guns. This one has been left largely as is, … Continue reading →

It was a very black and white kind of day today, more rain and greyness. We went up to North Head this afternoon in the drizzle to photograph, this is what Sydney looks like on a wet day. Its nice … Continue reading →

Like I am prone to do, I left taking photos till late again today. This usually works well for me, I enjoy night photography and the light has a lovely feel to it at night. Tonight though as we were … Continue reading →

I had another early morning this morning. Twice in one week? I know! This time I went to Mona Vale. It was a stunning morning, and as I got there before the first swimmers the pool was like glass. Apart … Continue reading →

Fisherman’s Beach at night, looking towards Collaroy.  

I couldn’t sleep last night, so after wasting the wee hours of the morning not getting comfortable in bed it was finally early enough to get up. It was a beautiful morning at Mona Vale this morning, and there where … Continue reading →

I almost didn’t get up this morning. Our cat woke me up around 4:00am but I wasn’t planning on getting up till around 4:30. I was also planning on it being a fine morning, but when I did get up … Continue reading →
