I had to travel on a different line than usual. While I was waiting for my train to depart another train pulled along side the train I was in. I have noticed very strong, vivid landscape like reflections in its windows. I took the camera out of my bag run along all windows in my carriage trying to find the best of these reflections. This photograph is the result of this search. I think it is quite cool.
I seldom photograph landscapes with showing them in black and white. Today however I tried exactly that. So, here is the photograph of the Skillion at Terrigal photographed in HDR (three blended exposures) and converted to black and white.
Here is a postcard style landscape photograph of some sandstone rocks and the ocean. This photograph was taken at the base of Skillion at Terrigal in the morning sun.
Often when a photograph of a sunset or sunrise is posted the only reaction the photographer gets is “Oh, OK. Yet another sun rise”. From time to time weather phenomenons change that simple yet beautiful sunset or sunrise into something totally unique. Take this cloud formation which looks as if it had a clearly defined straight edge and the rain would pour over that edge. I have never seen a cloud formed like that. Not only was the rain coming from that edge but also behind it there was a beautiful sunset highlighting layers upon layers of Blue Mountains in the distance.
What a strange weather we had this evening. First from a fairly normal day the sky turned almost black and served short but torrential rain followed by electric storm. Then out of nowhere just before sunset a narrow clearing in the low cloud cover provided for this colourful and very dramatic sunset.
If you don’t mind a little walk and a climb of a hundred or so steps you will be rewarded by fantastic panoramic views from Seal Rock lighthouse. Stretches of the ocean with rocky islands, a very long beach and green bush are all there to be admired. There is a small set of buildings at the foot of the lighthouse but due to height difference it is difficult to photograph them together in any interesting way.
We went for an evening walk along the channel joining the ocean and the Wallis lake. I have noticed clearly visible light patterns over some araucarias on the Tuncurry side. This has been in considerable distance, never the less I decided to take the photo and I’m pretty happy with the result. The lights crossing each other are clearly visible against the silhouettes of the trees.
