Thanks to Gerry for organising the meet at this rather fascinating place. Good to meet some new (to me) faces and share ideas and Brekky.

Here are some of the better ones from me

Enjoyed the colours of the rocks



The sun makes an appearance



Contrary to our Prime Minister's encouragement, its pays to look behind rather than always ahead


Couple of the guys hard at work

Ray, I love the second image, my only suggestion would be a bit extra on the top and a bit less on the bottom, but other than that it is very tidy..

I love the composition and the way the water leads up to the wave action then to the sun, nicely done.

nice shot, the greens look a bit nuclear here, but do love that tone in the sky...

I'm liking the colours and textures in those rocks - in the first one I'm thinking that perhaps a vertical shot up the middle might be more pleasing?

Ray,

I know that these were shot at some unholy hour, but in the first image, would a CPL possibly have been of use to reduce the reflections in the rockpools in the foreground? I suspect not, but I think it's worth exploring.

Yeah agree Gary. Would have helped with the last as well
Didn't think of it at the time but I did have a set of ND grad filters screwed to the front of the lens which had to come off first
You'll have to come next time to remind me to use it

Think you might loose the leading line a bit too much in the vertical

Love the #4 with it's muted tones. and composition I can't figure out what time you have taken this. Is this way before sunrise?? If you have used a grad ND for this, it's masterful as I can't see any evidence of it's use.

#2 is also great! Clever composition. I can't help but think how dynamic it would have been if there were waves coming up the foreground shelf.
