Ripples III by aabzimaging

A new shot of my very successful RIPPLES-series. The ocean was not totally flat this time and I had a different boat as well resulting in a different ripples effect. Also tried a different lens here and a more shallow depth of field. / Location: Exmouth Gulf, Western Australia Equipment: CANON 5D, CANON 70-200 f2.8L IS Image was featured in Colors of Water View more shots here: / © aabz-imaging / ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

Byron Bay Midnight Ocean Rocks © by Vicki Ferrari

Byron Bay Midnight Ocean Rocks © / Vicki Ferrari The most easterly point in Australia! Byron Bay Moonlight Series / Byron Bay Moon © AS IS / Byron Bay Moon ©— This shot is AS IS (bar the signature) and was taken looking down from the lighthouse (tourist area), into the ocean – quite an angle to the tripod! This was as wide as I could get it, considering the angle! See below for more information. Please excuse me for being lazy by writing all of this in one description. It will fit with all the photographs in this series. These images were taken at Byron Bay Lighthouse, New South Wales, Australia back in 2004. The photographs were shot at night, on a full moon, close to midnight, which is why you can see stars in the sky, a passing ship has its light on, and it also explains the lack of bright reflection on the surface of the ocean. The experimental portraits were taken firing my Sunpak 4500DX flash (handheld), often over and over. Where there are two people (I have deliberately blurred the other person’s face, as a courtesy!) in the image, one of them being me, we had to sit very, very still (difficult for me to do!!) – not smiling (or talking, again hard to do!) as to hold the same smile for an extended period of time can be difficult and if you move your mouth, you get blur. Of course, this explains why those old nostalgic portraits from yesteryear tend to make you think the subjects weren’t that happy! I will also be doing some creative adjustments using Photoshop but will be including that information in the Technical Data. Hope you like this series!

Colour at Dusk by Garth Smith

The waves wash back and forth changing the colour of the weeds on the foreshore rocks each time / A white wave surges in and turns the rocks milky and then the weed black. It smoothly changes back to bright yellow/green over the next 15 seconds as the water drains out and the filaments stand back up. / Tirelessly forward and back, yellow to black to yellow to black. / This is a quite long exposure so I wasnt quite sure what I would get in the almost dark light. / Pollys Bay / Temma, Tasmania Nikon D90 / Sigma 10-20mm lens featured in Nikon DSLR users group 4th November 2009 / featured in The Ashes – Australia vs England group 5th November 2009
