Good spray - transparent. Has drama and power of the ocean overtones.
Is that your fishing rod?

What shutter/iso speeds etc? I know its a long f number already because of the spots... you need a sensor clean just like I do....

20 sec @ f16
iso 100
ND grad
and yes my sensor does need a clean lol

The fishing rod is not mine....where is the fisherman????

Yeah. Puts you right there. I can feel the cold and taste the salt air. I used to sunsrise/surf pics. I should get up and go do some again.

Dude,

I love seascapes...i just wish i lived near the sea!

I hope you don't mind (tell me if you do and i will remove it) but i had a play with your first image.
This would look cool on my wall.

An interesting project for POTN members in the future would be to post pics of the sun as it goes by - 24 hr surveilance cam! On POTN I have seen sunset pics from California - its the same Pacific ocean. We could clock the postings. And vote for the "Pic of The Day" literally.

Hmmm... here is a recent happysnap of mine for all those Pacific Ocean fans in Nottingham:

Do it mate.....the hardest part is getting up but once there the raw beauty and power of the location just takes over.

Flaps = how do you protect the camera from spray? Which camera do you use?

Jonny Skyman here's another one for you...this one was taken under a full moon

flapsmcgee

Same model here. What have you got to use for the sensor clean? And which brand of plastic bag? I heard good reviews of the ones with a red stripe... oh never mind. I'm too tired.

And welcome to the POTN.

We should try that "Round the World thing. Would have to be on a weekend...

I'm too **** scared to clean it myself,in case i damage it.

I find the bio degradale ones the best , in case i fall in.... at least the environment is safe :p

Weekend would be good for me too

No but i know where you are talking about
It's from the Gap at Watsons bay
Quater moon at the moment.....not long to go now

Carzee

16th of May 2005 (Mon), 08:28

The Gap... brave of you. I'd be worried about a gust (or a ghost) pulling me over. vertigo... anyway, time for some sleep. I'll look out for you and more oceanscapes.
Cheers.

Thats a nice scene mate, i would like to try that one.
I would shoot that again and bracket your shots. Merging one exposed for the town and the sea would look great.

Great looking shots flapsmcgee.

I'm from Clovelly, England and was in Clovelly, Sydney a few months ago. It didn't look quite as dramatic as your shots in the harsh light of day. I wish I'd had more time to get some great shots like yours.

Always good to see shots of such a great named place haha

flapsmcgee

25th of May 2005 (Wed), 07:48

It makes me very happy to hear that you enjoyed them.....

Do you have any pics of your Clovelly to share

kearnage

26th of May 2005 (Thu), 01:44

I don't at the moment as I don't live there anymore. I'll be going back this weekend though so I'll see what I can do.
