needed a break so went out with a whole stack of cokins strapped to the front of the 7d to see what i could find...whilst the resulting pink shots were kind of arty, i have played with them in lightroom...kind of like the lomo effect...and the "snow" is spray from the waves...thought i'd leave it on...it is now off though rob...
A waterfall in the Stony Range Regional Botanic Garden, Dee Why. A vertorama (vertical panorama) stitched from four images taken in landscape mode.
(Strobist info: single Canon 580EX II above-right of the camera, mounted on a light stand with Westcott 43" silver shoot-through umbrella, triggered by Cactus V2s wireless triggers. The camera was mounted on a tripod, exposure was a full one second to allow enough light in that the iPod's screen would be lit up in the photo).
Met up with Shannon and headed out to Dee Why Point on Sydneys Northern Beaches..
I liked the clouds and reflections on the water..
Been looking at lots of sunsets and sunrises and thought i would have a look back at my first attempt..... many more to come i hope.
Any feedback and advice very welcome
Hydrofoil Dee Why goes into dry dock at Balmain Maintenance Yard.
Dee Why was one of a fleet of five hydrofoils operating on Sydney Harbour at this time, and travelled between Manly Wharf and Circular Quay. This service was originally introduced in the mid 1960s.

This highly invasive weed was introduced from South Africa to stabilise sand dunes on the east coast of Australia. It is now a serial pest.
Ironically the South Africans imported from Australia, Acacia longifolia for the same purpose.
So now we have a South African plant stabilising dunes in Australia and an Australian plant stabilising dunes in South Africa. Both are costing millions of Dollars / Rand to control. I sometimes despair at our collective stupidity.
that is Dee Why beach on a cold, rainy big surf Sunday. Bravado required to jump off the rocks into the pounding sea.

Storms off the eastern seaboard of Australia created huge waves. This surfer contemplated jumping in for a few mins before finally taking the plunge.
Heading off on another run to Manly. The Hydrofoils usually increased there speed from just after the Opera House.
I have to admit that I am quite please with my new Epson Perfection V370 Photo Scanner. It is capable of scanning at 6,400 DPI (Dots Per Inch) and brings new life to photos which I previously were not pleased with. I now suspect that the place where I usually get my film developed and scanned are doing a lazy job of my photos. When I compare photo scans they gave me compared to the scans I did myself, its quite clear they really over did sharpness and contrast, leading to a less impressive picture.
