Berry Island Sunset...I decided take a punt and try shooting sunset on Sydney Harbour from somewhere I'd never been before. Out came TPE (The Photographers Ephemeris) for a bit of research and I searched for some suitable locations which would hopefully provide a good sunset location on the harbour and wasn't too far away to drive to.
Eventually I found this little place called Berry Island Reserve - right next to Wollstonecraft on the lower North Shore of Sydney. It was originally one of Sydney's Harbour Islands, but it is now connected to the mainland by a constructed isthmus. I arrived at the point about 50 minutes before sunset to find these absolutely fantastic colourful striped sandstone rocks around the point and out into the water with a good selection of green mossy stuff as well - perfect for some foreground interest. Happy for some thoughts/suggestions on these? Gerry - these are all with that new Hitech Reverse Grad I ordered - I'm pretty happy with how it works so far Stacked a Lee 3 stop ND with the Hitech 3 stop Reverse Grad along with the CPL and set my ISO to 50 to get a longer exposure Otherworldy Light This one perhaps 10 metres around the point with the fantastic lined rocks and ribbons of green in the cracks taken just one or two minutes after sunset Berry Lines and just 5 minutes later we were treated to a brief show of vibrant red lines in the sky Curves in Red and Green almost twenty minutes after sunset it was getting much darker so I could do some extremely long exposures - this one looking straight down one of the stripy cracks between the coloured sandstone towards what colour and light was left in the sky Cracks in Purple D600, D7000, Nikon/Sigma/Tamron Lenses, Nikon Flashes, Sirui/Manfrotto/Benro Sticks

Cheers Zafra
You'd rather the shots without the ship? I'm sure it's not always there so perhaps next time I go there (assuming that happens)... D600, D7000, Nikon/Sigma/Tamron Lenses, Nikon Flashes, Sirui/Manfrotto/Benro Sticks

Re: Berry Island Sunset...
Yep, I think the ship detracts form the colourful rocks. Might be worth a try next time. Either that, or phone the captain and ask him to move seeing he is double parked... President, A.A.A.A.A (Australian Association Against Acronym Abuse)
