This photograph of Storm clouds over Terrigal is a bit out of sequence in the blog. I took this photograph early on Sunday morning, some three hours before I did the Pinnacle dive of the Bateau Bay. Looking at these dramatic clouds I thought they will be the end to my diving plans, but luckily they have dispersed just a couple of hours later with some staying far on the horizon.
Morning light over the ocean

Another photograph of an ocean in the morning light.
Skillion and the sea

Another beautiful morning at Terrigal. This time I’d like to present a fairly high contrast black and white landscape focusing on the sea and the rocks in front of the Skillion.
Sun rays

A little bit of sunshine just for good measure.
This sunrise photograph was taken at Terrigal at the weekend. While there I have met an interesting photographer from Victoria who had his large format camera on the ready to capture whatever the nature would throw at us. I have learnt from him that a single exposure costs him over $50 developed (not printed) and thus he takes a lot of care and preparations, not to mention he is very choosy with the scenes. He did not take a single photograph that morning.
I am not sure if such cost restrictions in the age of digital photography are warranted. In the end he missed out on this spectacular ray display just because it was too expensive. What good is owning such advanced/sophisticated camera if it limits your photography?
The body shop

I photographed this out of shape man in the front of The body shop. This was early in the morning and the overhead monorail tracks on one side and shop walls on the other created a darkish tunnel effect. Through some reflections a stream of light landed on the mans face and upper torso.
