I’ve recently returned from a trip to the Gold Coast to catch up with a good friend of mine, Darren Tierney. We were lucky enough to head south and spend a day at Byron Bay in New South Wales under perfect weather conditions.
Watching the clouds build a couple of hours before sun set, we suspected it was going to be a ripper. After shooting Wategos Beach for a short while, we headed up to the lighthouse to watch the sun set. We weren’t wrong with our suspicion, as the light cloud cover lit up a nice pink hue.
I am very happy with the result after attempting to shoot this location many times and coming away with nothing spectacular. Persistence pays off!
Just a quick post as I don’t have much time. A couple of dingo shots from Fraser Island. We saw quite a few dingoes while we were on the Island. The dingo in the photos below was probably the most relaxed of the lot.
Enjoy!
I shot this photograph of Perth City the other night while there was a lot of smoke blowing across the face of the city from a fire in one of the southern suburbs. The smoke silhouetted the buildings a bit and created a nice effect. Very little processing was needed for this photo, which is always a good thing, I think.
I’d like to see this photo printed out nice and large. I think the pastel colours would look quite nice on some Fujiflex or high quality pearl paper. Any takers?
I haven’t been out shooting a lot lately, but I am itching to get out, so I’m sure that I will be posting more often shortly.
As most of you probably know, I’ve recently purchased the Canon 5D MkII and have been playing around with the HD video features of the camera. The quality of the recordings it captures is quite astonishing as you can see here.
This is just a quick edit I have put together as I don’t have much more footage to play with at the moment. Over the coming weeks I will be traveling around Perth capturing some more footage and I will extend the length of this film.
Thanks for viewing,
Beau Mitchell
I have wanted to shoot this angle of Perth including the Decoy for a while now, and the other night I finally got off my ass and drove down to South Perth. I think it might be better at sunrise, so I’ll have to return here early one morning, maybe over this coming week if any other Perth photographers wants to join me?
It’s a 7 photo stitch with the 5D MkII and 50mm lens. It came out at about 60″ at 300dpi, which will allow for a generous sized print.
Thanks for stopping by and checking out my photographs!
