The ‘golden hour’ light hit­ting the logs sprawled along the Arthur River coast­line on the Tas­man­ian west coast. I really strug­gled to get a nice bal­ance of dynamic range over the whole image with­out resort­ing to HDR or blend­ing expo­sures. In the end the image was shot with Cokin neu­tral den­sity fil­ters to under expose the sky a few stops which helped bal­ance the expo­sure of the logs a little.

Woke up ran­domly this morn­ing and pro­cras­ti­nated whether to brave the cold and take a drive some­where for a few seascape sun­rise shots. I ended up get­ting out of bed after a strug­gle and fired a few at Taroona. This was around 3 and a half min­utes at F.13 made pos­si­ble with the trusty B+W 110 nd fil­ter. In the past when shoot­ing Taroona or any water­scape on sun­rise for that mat­ter, I’ve really strug­gled to get long expo­sures once the sun has risen so it was quite fun to have the oppor­tu­nity to still obtain long expo­sures even though the scene was bright.

Just a ran­dom snap of after­noon light in Cre­morne. Maybe a lit­tle too trig­ger happy with the sat­u­ra­tion though

A quick shot as I made my way through Sorell to Dodges Ferry for after­noon seascape pho­tographs. The light had been dull and difussed all after­noon from the cloud cov­er­age until a small empty pocket allowed the sun to light this rural setting.
