Another image I hadn’t processed from New Zealand, I can’t remember the name of this place but I do remember I had it all to myself for hours.

This image is from Shorncliffe Jetty, not far from the gallery. The fisherman was doing his thing so I included him.

Here’s a new image captured north of Brisbane at sunset, quite a simple composition but I think it will work printed big.

I’m really enjoying the seascapes at the moment, from earlier in the week I love the light in this image. Again taken with the Canon 24mm TSE 2 and 5d mk 2. I’ve just printed a 50inch for the gallery, the sharpness and detail is amazing. Please click the image for a larger view.

This was a great spot that Tony showed us when we were in the Flinders Ranges. It was an interesting afternoon instead of looking for a location to shoot for sunset we ended up looking for somewhere that sold Coopers Tyres as one of ours got a huge slab of beer bottle in it! Of course nowhere had the size we needed so we did a quick repair and headed for this spot.
