A shot captured just as the sun was rising at Taroona, Tasmania of local boat sheds. I’d of loved some Singh-Ray Reverse ND grads for this shot as it would of been perfect for the location of the sun but the price hurts too much..

I hope to one day photograph this location on a huge swell where the water crashes against the large rocks which are otherwise unaffected as above. It’s such a shame as the rocks at this location really stand out and would be amazing if the water was rushing past them.

Purposely under-exposed to take less emphasis off the rocks as there was less interest as the water had calmed so attention was needed to be more focussed on the sky.

I love this room of an old Hobart abandoned mental hospital especially when captured with a ultra wide angle like the Canon 10-22. It screams to be captured as wide as possible which I couldn’t resist. I hope to photograph this place more but it’s so hard with continual graffiti popping up which almost ruins photographs.

It appears Canon has made changes to pricing of their lenses in Australia which is good news for us. I had a quick look on Quality Camera Sales and it appears you can buy the Canon 100-400 L IS for $2050 whilst Bhphotovideo you are looking at $1419 (lens) + $63 (shipping) + customs which probably could make it around $1600-1700~. Although this remains marginally cheaper for those who don’t mind getting their lens from overseas, this price change will be great for others wanting the piece of mind from buying here whilst being able to walk out of the shop with the lens at a cheaper price.

There is still quite the difference which is a shame but hopefully it’s a sign of more things to come.

Now where is the 5D mark II!

Just for something different, a waterscape shot captured in Tasmania, Australia. It was a lovely but an early start so time to get some coffee into the system ha

This was captured around 50 minutes before the sunrise predicted time as I find the scene gets much too bright which means exposures go from 4 minutes to 4 seconds when the sunrise nears the predicted time. In turn this changes the scene somewhat as the clouds become more defined in a shorter exposure whilst in a longer a slight blur occurs. The same applies for the water where you may get more action and different effect under a short exposure of the water whilst under a long exposure there is a fog/smoke like effect over the water. Never hurts getting up too early before a sunrise instead of too late so you can experiment with the different light settings which change the way you can expose the scene

A early Saturday at Taroona, Tasmania.

I’ve been shooting a few sunrises lately as exams are over for another semester and also sunrises in summer are stupidly early. Taroona is nice for sunrises however it doesn’t cop much swell which can affect things a little. Enjoy
