This is from earlier this year on sunrise at Taroona, Tasmania which is very close to the small city of Hobart. Probably one of my favourite spots for sunrise shots in Hobart, a nice beach and faces in a good direction for the sunrise.

An old photograph which I forgot about This was photographed on sunrise at Taroona, Tasmania with a Canon 350D, Canon 10-22, Tripod and Cokin ND Z-Pro grads.

Just after exams when I wanted to make the most of my free time.

This was shot at Taroona, Tasmania with a Canon 350D and Canon 10-22 just as the sun had come up.

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.

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

Nigel Honey was with me for the early start and here is a shot of his

Eww highlights!

Wasn’t sure whether to post this up or not as the highlights in the sunrise really bug me but I quite like how the foreground looks. Regardless here is a long exposure shot from Taroona, Hobart from a chilly sunrise over the weekend
