10 minute expo­sure at f.10 on sun­set. As usual cap­tured with a B+W 110 and Cokin neu­tral den­sity filters.

Over the last few months I’ve made two long dri­ves over to the Tas­man­ian West Coast with my cam­era in hand. On both occa­sions the weather was aver­age which wasn’t the best for pho­tos but it was nice to be a tourist. I found myself just tak­ing lots of snap shots which aren’t port­fo­lio wor­thy but they seem a waste to not show anyone.

If you’re trav­el­ling to the west coast soon and have any queries of where to take pho­tos drop me a line as I might be able to help.

Re-processing an old photo for a friend. A beau­ti­ful red sun­rise cap­tured at Taroona, Tas­ma­nia last win­ter. This is a 2 minute expo­sure just as the sun was com­ing up over the hills which lead to a lit­tle over exposure.

One of the more spec­tac­u­lar sun­rises I’ve seen cap­tured a lit­tle dif­fer­ent then normal.

A place which is oth­er­wise quiet and pro­tected from the swell but not today. This was com­posed as a quick burst of sun came out between the clouds light­ing the pil­lars on the dunes per­fectly. I had hoped to run a long expo­sure of around 2 min­utes but was cut short at 1 minute 30 when the sun dis­s­a­peared and the rain started buck­et­ing. The long expo­sure was made pos­si­ble with a 10 stop B+W 110 fil­ter which works a treat in these situations.

I love it when the sea is this wild, it makes a place I’ve shot count­less times com­pletely dif­fer­ent as the rocks you walk around nor­mally end up being the rocks you stand on to hide from the rough sea.
