Matilda Bay Sunset

Matilda Bay Panoramic, Perth WA

Photo Details: Canon 5D Mk II + 17-40mm F4 L USM @ 40mm, 2.5 Seconds, f/18, ISO50

A couple of nights ago Simon Beedle and I took a drive around the Swan River and ended up at Matilda Bay to shoot the sunset. We had been watching these amazingly large, puffy white clouds all day, and new that we had to be in the right spot to photograph them.

We were not the only photographers with the idea that Matilda Bay was the right spot, as there were a few of us around with our tripods and large cameras. One of the other photographers turned out to be Mark Stothard, someone whose blog I have been reading for a while, so it was nice to meet him.

It was a tough composition, trying to capture the clouds in frame, while still having some kind of foreground interest…

As always, I’d love to hear your comments!

Nice one here Mate – I really like those light pinky hues.

I’m in Perth again soon, only for a weekend this time – I’ll be free on either the 10/11th if you’re looking for someone to head out and shoot with…
