Favourite spot
Posted: Fri Jun 03, 2011 12:06 pmThis is one of my favourite spots to take photos mainly because I haven't seen any images from here before and it's such a great spot. I have came here for a sunrise which is a small challenge as i had to climb down some rocks to get there and then walk through water up to my knees. The tide report said it would be high tide at 2am and going to low at 10am but that wasn't the case as the water was so high but I think that was because there was a king tide few days before.
Here are few of my favourite images. Love to know what you think about them.
his was taken inbetween cathedral rocks and boneyards. I want to revist this location for the 3rd time as the tide was so high I coudln't get anywhere and my filters kept on getting wet. Also the sunrise wasn't the best but still very happy with it. Such a great spot but can be easy to overdo the image as there are so many rocks and can make the image very busy. Once I saw this ledge I knew I had to get a shot here but was hard as the water was over my knees and about half a meter to the left there was 1-2 meter deep water and constant waves crashing into the tripod. Would have liked to get a bit lower to emphasises the bottom rocks a bit more but that was not possible evidently. Struggled to even find a place to put my camera bag. This is my favourite image of them all.

This was taken inbetween cathedral rocks and boneyards This was my first image (6:20am) just as there was colour in the sky but didn't do much for me in colour but loved it in black and white and a 6x17 crop. The set of rocks on the right lead your eyes in nicely. I was thinking it might be a bit too dark in the distance but then again a lot of people say they think it's fine.

Hard to get the angle and position i wanted to compose the image right as I was on a small island and couldn't move back anymore or i would fall into the water and go any lower to the ground as i would get soaked. I think too much is cut out from the bottom but can't change that.

The rock face on the right is very underexposed but can't recover that to a good extent as it has lost too much details. This is because of the harsh light making the rock face in shadow and using a 0.9 and 0.6 ND Grad stacked.
Camera - Nikon D90
Exposure - 0.125 sec (1/8)
Aperture - f/9.0
Focal Length - 11 mm
ISO Speed - 100
Filters - Lee ND Hard Grad 0.9 and 0.6 stacked
I have another image of when the sun pops up and there is a nice golden glow on the rocks but didn't want to upload it as i will get in trouble for having more then 4 images.
Cheers
