Whale Beach Sunrise Saturday 3rd July

Postby biggerry on Mon Jun 28, 2010 11:38 pm

To coincide with the Alfred Stieglitz: the Lake George years Meet

which I am sure will be up on teh calendar shortly (hint, hint)

I am planning to head up to Whale beach for Sunrise, it is a far way for the south side people to get to, but, personally I am over the eastern suburb beaches at the moment so I can live with it, its also a pretty quick drive at the ungodly hours so that makes it bearable.

Both the southern and northern ends of the beach look like they have potential (that said, I ain't ever been there) The southern end has a sea pool for ppl interested in pool photography ( i am sure theres a name for them :rotfl2: )

Where:

wil tee up a location via PM's closer to the date.

Time:

5:30am - yes its dark then.

If your keen let us know, if you need a lift from teh southern side let me know, need my number just PM me.

I would really love to be there but can't really drive for 2.5 hrs for this.

This is one primo location. I hope you guys get nice clouds.

Brent Pearson has a great must-read guide to this area.

Was a good morning, have not yet looked at pictures yet! definitely going back there soon, I am keen for anotehr sunrise and also some surfer shots too, great waves up there on the beach!

Great to see a new face Remorhaz (Rodney), there was plenty of others from the dark side too so we had a big group.

Looking forward to yours. Who is this from the dark side? Don't tell me Darth wader came along? :twisted:

I am very keen to put my new scuba booties to the test.... I will keep in touch. Perhaps 10th...
