I really like all of them Owen but I think the composition of the first one makes it a real winner. The reflected skies in the water are really engaging. Well done.

Thanks very much Simon. I have been out this way many times but this is the first time I've got some decent shots out of it.

Cheers,
Owen.

Very nice Owen,

I like the 1 and 3 shots the best. I found the coloured "streamer" type stuff on the railing on the bow detracted from the rest of the photo, but that's just me.

How have you gone finding places to shoot around Jervis Bay ?

Hi Alpha.

Plenty of beaches around there to take photos of. I've been out there a few times and there are only so many shots you can get with Pt Perpendicular in the background. The water however is nice and blue and the colour shows more when the sun is in the western half of the sky. There are lots of beaches that I haven't had a chance to get to, but hopefully in the future I'll be able to check them all out.

I've got this thread on my site regarding Huskisson if you want to check it out:

Huskisson is great (Have you tried the famous pie shop) every time we went past we stop for pies, and pastry treats. Lots of great fishing, and plenty of things to take photo's off. I think I mentioned it before, but check out GreenPatch too, if you want some closeup shots of birds.
