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.

Angler’s Choice – a long exposure seascape.
Angler’s Choice is a blend of long exposure images taken shortly after sunset at “The Blowhole”, Mornington Peninsula.
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.

Life during wartime.
A trip to Point Nepean provided some interesting photo opportunities. It’s home to Fort Nepean, an abandoned military site overlooking the entrance to Port Phillip Bay. There is an atmosphere of cold and concrete wherever you go within the underground maze of tunnels, rooms and gun emplacements.
When you wander around outside there are polite signs warning of unexploded munitions encouraging you to stay on the defined pathways.

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 –
