Merri Marine Park, Warrnambool for Water H2O Thursday

 


Normally this coast is looking bleak and grey. Finally a moment of blessing.

Bay of Islands, Peterborough, Great Ocean Road for Skywatch Friday

 


My long wait is finally worthwhile. It took me 3 weeks to find this moment.

Great Ocean Road in Port Campbell National Park for Water H2O Thursday

 


In Warrnambool, a lot of Asian restaurants are run by Aussie cooks. It took me a long time to finally discover a Thai restaurant with original Asian style menu. Now I am eating at it on the daily basis. 


There is a location called Magic Rock off Warrnambool coast. However, I cannot access the location as I do not have a 4WD. That was one of my goal to finally get a pic from there. Pity

Loch Ard Gorge in Great Ocean Road for Treasure Tuesday

 


It supposed to be a stormy weekend. On Saturday morning, there was a 2-hour cloud break among the thick cumulus clouds. 

I rushed through the routine and driving to a few locations in a hurry. Finally managed to get a few shots both in drones and camera.

Forecast is telling me another week of storms...

Stingray Bay Warrnambool for Sunday Best


 

Since I arrive this coastal town, the rain has been non stop. For the weekend, I was expecting a terrible storm until a cloud break close to sunset hours. So I quickly fly my drone to get a view off Stingray Bay. The wind nearly took my drone away into the sea...


At least, I got a shot here and there before the storm took over. So sad.

Bridgewater Bay Topdown for Treasure Tuesday

 


Finally the wind was a lot less on the weekend. Finally a view I really like.


I am now in Warrnambool for a 5-week locum work. Hopefully I get enough interesting weather for photography.

Infrared Pulpit Rock Cape Schanck for Water H2O Thursday

 


No long exposure here. Just a quick snap that gives a totally different feel from the frame. 

I am preparing this post as I had 2 failed to show attendances in my clinic this morning.

Brighton Beach, Melbourne for Water H2O Thursday Event

 


There is no epic sky. Just the same overcast weather with constant drizzle. There is also no parking available in the area on weekends. So one can only visit during the weekdays.

Pinnacles Cape Woolamai Phillip Island for Water H2O Thursday Event

 


I realise I love photographing water and street candids. Street candids is an acquired taste due to my association with a former world class street photographer when I was in university years. Water photography on the other hand is a pattern I notice in my portfolio as well.

P.S. I finally received my camera after infra-red filter conversion. After 8 weeks! I will be testing the n520 wavelength filter in street photography tomorrow. Can't wait!

Cumbernum Coast for Skywatch Friday

 


I did not wait until the sunset for this shot. The rock is called elephant rock which does not look like it from this angle.

Cape Woolamai Pinnacles in Phillip Island for Randomosity

 


There was this Nikon Guy who tried to stand in front of me while I already set up my tripod in this location. So I had to move forward to get him out of my view. Talking about etiquette

Bridgewater Bay low tide for Treasure Tuesday

 


Among many trips to this location this year, this was one of the unique photo where I managed to get my whole pants soaked wet by rogue waves. However, the silky flow in the foreground works out well.

Mangrove trees in the sea at Cleveland, Brisbane

 


This was taken from a while back in my Brisbane trip. Joel and I accidentally found this mangrove bunch near the coast. 

I was worried the sea breeze would move the tree branches too much causing motion blur during the long exposure.

Bridgewater Bay for Treasure Tuesday


Miscalculation on my part. The low tide on Saturday was actually not so low 1 metre high. So Joel blamed me for it for the turbulent sea hitting at us. 

For me, sea is my treasure. The gentle hiking and the smell of ocean just cleanse my worries away.

By sunset, it was pouring rain on us. We ended up discovering another fish and chips shop run by Greek grandfather. The snapper and souvlaki were so yummy and delish!

Rabbit Rock Mornington Peninsula for Sunday Best

 


Long exposure shot from a different angle on the large rock. I really like the silky waterflow. 


Joel and I gonna venture into Bridgewater Bay again. This time mainly on a sea shelf during semi-low tide by sunset.

Montfort Beach for Sky watch Friday

 


The sea is turbulent. The sky is actually less angry than what happens beneath it.

Montfort Beach, Blairgowrie, Mornington Peninsula for Sunday Best

 


Today though little chance of rain but the sky was completely overcast. Joel rang me saying he was too bored needing to do something. So we came to this same location from 2 weeks ago. This time, it is high tide. It was good for long exposure. The cloud break allows us to see some colours too. 

One Aussie chap was brave enough to enter this water which was pretty much freezing. The torrents were so severe that we thought we could lose him into the sea as well.
