Well here it is minus the heavy vignette, and good call by all, works well.

Sorry for the lack of posts lately, been out of action, but been in some awesome locations, but no time for photography.

Thank you all for your positive feedback on the previous image. I might do a re-edit reducing the vignette.

Here is a 3 image vertical panorama of the same location.

Natte Yallock – Big Water Little Plain

On my way back from NSW I past many great location I would have loved to shoot, but the weather wasn’t particularly kind. However this tree in a paddock caught my eye just out of Moonambel.

The colours were a little washed out and I didn’t know how to finish it, so this it it. Dylan or Stakky might have some cool ideas.

Bannisters Headland, NSW

Just a couple of single frames from my trip to Mollymook Beach – Ulladulla area in NSW.

This is also from the Bannisters Headland area, mucking around with long exposures on an overcast evening.

Bannisters Point, Mollymook Beach, NSW

Hoping you all had a wonderful and safe long weekend. And hopefully you will all have a safe and prosperous New Year ahead.

This is another shot from Mollymook Beach in NSW. This was a very overcast day, I had a pod of 6 Dolphins just in the bottom left hand corner, they were right up hard against the rocks.
This shot was taken at 11am, I had a polariser and my Lee GND filters stacked to get a long exposure. Just mucking around with the effects. PT GUI didn’t like this one, so it was a manual Photoshop stitching effort.

Mount Townsend, Kosciusko National Park, NSW

This is a shot I took on my return trip from NSW.
The shot is taken from Scammels Spur Lookout on the Alpine Way, the road that links Threadbo to Khancoban.
It is an awesome drive with some great scenery, but a slow windy drive.

Mount Townsend is Australia’s second highest peak behind Mount Kosciusko. Townsend stands at 2,209 m above sea level.
I look forward to spending more time in this area.

Also a big thank you to all the contributors to the blogging fraternity, it has been a wonderful year. And a big thank you to all the visitors and people who took the time out to comment on my blog. Seasons Greetings to all, and wishing you a safe and happy New Year ahead.

Cheers,
Tom

Jones Beach, Narrawallee, NSW [vertical]

Here is another shot from Jones’ Beach that I shot whilst with Michael Olive
This is a 3 image vertical stitch, I am starting to like the vertical stitch’s, as they are usually easy to stitch.

The holiday is drawing to a close, and will be heading home soon, I went for a drive south before and found a few new locations that I will shoot next time.

I think I have only one more shot to post after this one.

Cheers,
Tom

Jones’ Beach, Narrawallee, NSW

Here is a shot I took the other night whilst out shooting with Michael Olive from Jones’ Beach just under Bannisters Resort.

Check out Michael Olive’s shot looking in the different direction from the same location, so many varieties of rocks in this one location.

I am unsure whether this is in Narrawallee or Mollymook, but I will just guess.

After a perfectly clear day, a little bit of cloud came out to play right on dusk.

Surfers Avenue, Narrawallee

Here is another shot from Surfer’s Avenue.
It is something a bit different, was a beautiful morning,  not a breath of wind and no swell, so I tried for a few reflections.

Last night I had the pleasure of finally catching up with a fellow blogger in person.
I caught up with Michael Olive at Bannisters Point, it was great to meet him, and he is an absolute nice guy, I will have to go through the shots to see if there is anything worth keeping.

I have been stitching with my 70-200mm 2.8 the last few days, As I have been needing just that bit of extra reach, I don’t know why I got rid of that 24-105mm!!

This image was about 8 shots, f/32, 0.8″ sec. ISO 100.

Surfers Avenue, Moolymook Beach • NSW

How does this work again?
Well I am back, but not motivated for photography, fishing is all the go. The hobie kayak has been a great asset thus far this trip.

This is a quick stitch (3 images) of a cool location on Surfers Avenue, nice spot to live in Mollymook Beach.
There are some beautiful seaweeds amongst the basalt rock, the swells have been huge, make stitching hard, plus I kept getting wet legs from the waves crashing on the rocks.

Anyway, I might put the 70-200mm on and see what that does for me.
