Non exis­tent sun­set at Howrah Beach. Cap­tured with usual shi­daz­zle of a Canon 5D Mark II, Canon 17–40, Cokin Z-Pro .6 and .9 grad­u­ated neu­tral den­sity fil­ters under expos­ing the sky to give it more oomph. It occurred to me while writ­ing what equip­ment I use that it sounds ter­ri­bly wanky. I try to post my equip­ment and retain the exif data on my images in case any­one is curious.

Set timer, mad dash over wet rocks into frame, fin­gers crossed that I don’t jig­gle around, check lcd.

30 sec­ond expo­sure at f/11.

Tonight’s sun­set cap­tured at Kingston Beach, Tas­ma­nia. This was shot with a Canon 5D Mark II, Canon 17–40 and Cokin Z-Pro ND grads.

Cop­ping spray all over my gear but it was worth it even if only one shot of the 15 came out…

Taken win­ter 2009 at Lif­fey Falls after a week of rain.

A culled image that I’ve come back to a few times. I’ve always looked at the photo and wished the cloud was in the mid­dle of the frame, not dis­ap­pear­ing out of it. What can you do?

It’s fair to say 2009 was the year of the long expo­sures for me. I’ve had a lot of fun with the Canon 5D Mark II and B+W 110 fil­ter over the year and look­ing back am sur­prised how many pho­tographs I actu­ally took.

I hope 2009 was a good year for your photography!

An old under­ground tun­nel in Hobart. This was lighted with a red coloured cd case attached to the front of a torch. I put the cam­era into bulb mode and walked up and down each side wav­ing the torch up and down which cre­ated the lines.

I wish you a happy and safe Christ­mas and also thank you for your sup­port over 2009 as I’ve enjoyed read­ing your comments.
