Photos from the rocky plateaus of Blairgowrie. The plateaus are covered by bright green seaweed and exposed for exploration during lowtide. One misplaced foot and you’re face down in the slimy stuff
The photos are HDR images generated from 3 exposures, 1 stop apart.

Primordial Dawn, ….and Third Planet.
Some long exposures taken well before dawn. It was extremely dark looking through the viewfinder so some guesswork was involved with the composition of these.
Note that the violent crashing waves of the ocean appear as a gentle mist due to the long exposure time. Unfortunately it wasn’t possible to capture the stars in the sky due to clouds rolling in just a few minutes before I arrived on location (bugger).

Ascend to the Night.
Ascend to the Night was taken at the Mornington Peninsula national park, Australia.
The sun had just set below the horizon and the tide was turning.
Waves were intermittently crashing over the rocks causing “mini waterfalls” to appear.

The optical jewels at Sorrento.
My recent visit to the ocean beach at Portsea sparked a craving for more of the same photographic material.
This time I visited the ocean beach further along the coastline at Sorrento. The first visit to the beach was a spur of the moment decision. When I arrived there the sun was hovering just above the horizon, I had no time to explore the beach and it was a high tide. I took a few shots of the sun fading into the horizon and a few long exposure shots of waves swirling around the rocks.
Here’s a couple of the high tide shots –
The next visit to Sorrento beach was a bit better planned and I actually remembered to check the tide charts before leaving. On arrival the rock pools were at their low tide best, the sun was high enough in the sky to give me time to explore some of the rocky features yet low enough to give the area a nice warm glow.
Here’s some of the shots from the low tide visit –
