Misty sunrise
I got up quite early this morning and could not get back to sleep. I checked my emails and started to read some of my favourite blogs, when in the corner of my eye quite a spectacular sunrise emerged. The valley was covered in a very dense fog and the sun set golden morning hue to it all. At moments, I could see the fog dissolving in plasma like patterns. Something regrettably I could not capture in this photograph.

Solving a crossword
Similarly to this man waiting for his morning train, I too often use the newspaper crosswords or sudoku puzzle to kill the time.

Rower
I photographed this rower setting up for a morning training session at Gosford waterfront near Gosford Sailing Club. The weather was rather gloomy and thus with low light conditions I decided to present this capture using split toning technique. Split toning uses two colours: one for highlights and one for shadows. This way the photographs get this unusual duo tone effect and yet they preserve some of the original colours. I have also reduced the contrast in this photograph to show how a kayak blends with the surrounding water.

Fog over bush
Another photograph exploiting the unusual atmospheric conditions we had this morning. Thick fog over a bush at Rumbalara Reserve at Gosford. I took this photograph from a considerable distance and managed to include a street light in the shot to highlight the perspective. The fog is so thick and curved in shape - it almost looks like a giant moon raising behind the hill.
By the way this photograph almost got me in trouble with our local police. I was passing a crossing when I have noticed the view and decided to turn around and take the photograph. I drove to the next intersection with enough space to do a U-turn. As I was about to return back to the road I have noticed a mobile RBT unit few hundred meters down the road. The police officers thought I turned around to avoid the breath test and clearly were ready to chase me. Realising what has happened I waited at the intersection for them to arrive and spare myself and them the trouble. I had 0 alcohol reading so it was not an issue. Funny how some coincidental situations may look from a side.

Power Grid
I pass this place very often and never paid any attention to it. Today however, with all the fog and curious light in the morning I managed to capture the power grid lines in a what I think is quite unique view. All that heavy duty line carrying towers and thick cables against the gently natural morning light. We have yet a long way to harness the nature’s power in an efficient and environmentally friendly way.

Bateau Bay in fog
We had a very foggy morning today. The fog was visible everywhere from the inland bush areas to the sea coast as seen here at Bateau Bay. The peninsula was wrapped in the thick raising for and lit by the warm sunrise light. Quite beautiful and inspiring.

Sun rays and fog
The morning fog stayed in the valley a bit longer today allowing for some very visible sun ray effects through the trees.
