Exploring the magical Powlett River
A rewarding excursion to the beautiful mouth of the Powlett River.
Image above – The Rush of the Powlett.
Just prior to the Powlett’s water reaching the ocean, the shallow flow speeds up, rippling at the surface and dancing over low obstacles.
The dunes in the background and the river bank on the right glow yellow-orange as the sun sinks low on the horizon.

Aqua Dynamics – the beauty of force
This black and white image demonstrates the explosion of forces as a Bass Strait wave strikes bedrock along the Victorian coastline.
I was using a 10-20mm lens here so the saying “objects are closer than they appear” applies here.
This image is available to purchase as a print here.
A few minutes later I was hit by this sweet thing pictured below. You’ll need to excuse the motion blur as I panicked and tried to move the camera out of harms way as the wave hit us.
We, (the camera and I), were both soaked by this Bass Strait “back hander”. At this stage, a couple of days later, both the camera (Canon 40D) and the lens (Sigma 10-20mm) are still working. I must be blessed by the camera gods because this isn’t the first time we’ve had a salt water soaking.

Southern Rendezvous
A six minute exposure taken at night, aperture f11, iso 100 on Blairgowrie beach.
The long exposure reveals the apparent path of objects around the south celestial pole and also transforms the motion of the rough ocean waves into a soft mist.

The Reign of the Tranquil – night photography
This shot was taken at one of the many wonderful beaches along the Mornington Peninsula, Australia.
It’s a long exposure taken at night looking out at the ocean.
The long exposure smooths out the motion of the oceans rough surface giving it the appearance of a gentle mist. The rocks sticking out of the mist provide a nice contrast of texture.
The reflection of the rocks in the foreground water provides some additional interest.
The background light comes from the sun which long ago dropped below the horizon. When looking through the viewfinder this glow isn’t visible to the naked eye but the camera’s long exposure picks it up without much trouble.

Fun in the Dark – (Writing with Light experiment)
This was my first attempt at writing with light on a long exposure using an LED torch/flashlight, directly towards the camera. Of course I accidentally wrote a mirror image of what I actually wanted to write. 🙂
The actual “text writing” time during the exposure would have been about 10-15 seconds, ….out of the total exposure time of 120 seconds.
Notice my ghostly glowing face beneath the middle letter.
shutter – 120 secs
aperture – f8
ISO – 100
—————————————-
This is my second attempt at writing with light on a long exposure using an LED torch. The actual “text writing” time during the exposure would again have been about 10-15 seconds, out of the total exposure time of 120 seconds.
shutter – 120 secs
aperture – f8
ISO – 100
Give this technique a go, …you can get some very strange effects happening! 😉
