A week or two back, Darren Tierney and I hiked down to the base of Purlingbrook Falls. It had been quite wet the few days before hand so we knew there would be a lot of water running.
It was near impossible to take photos down there, with the light being a bit too bright, and there was insane amounts of water from the falls spraying our cameras.
Anyway, here are a couple of my photos from the day focusing on the lower half of the water fall.
A couple of months back Emily and I spent the day out at Currumbin Creek. It was fairly overcast which created the perfect conditions to shoot some slow shutter photographs of the creek and trees above. I tried a few different compositions, but liked this one that included the swirling water in the foreground the most.
Currumbin Creek, Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.
I woke up this morning hoping that we’d have a nice blue sky and white fluffy clouds, but unfortunately that was not the case; their were a few too many clouds. I still made my way down to Burleigh Heads, one of my favourite spots on the Gold Coast, to shoot. It had been ages since I’d shot a beach scene in broad daylight, which is the reason I was keen to get out there even though the conditions weren’t as I had hoped. Usually, I like to shoot longer exposures once it starts to get a bit darker, or while the colours are bright orange or red.
This five photo panoramic stitch was my favourite of the morning. Once again, I’ve processed it in color and as a black and white image. I’d like your opinions on if you think the colour or black and white version is better.
The woman in the centre of this image asked me if she could take my photo as she walked by. She must have thought I was some kind of famous photographer! ;)
