Sugar Loaf Rock by Paul Pichugin

This shot was taken before the sun came up.. I went to check out the sunrise, but a storm had blown in and there was very little colour other than blue on the eastern facing coast.. so I headed over to the west coast and took some photos at Sugar Loaf Rock.. I’m very happy I did as I just love this shot! These were the actual colours captured by the camera, I haven’t photoshoped the colours at all, I’ve just adjusted the white balance down somewhat in order to exaggerate the blue that was already there.. love this shot! 3 minute exposure @ f10, ISO100 / ND400 + ND8 + ND4Grad All comments appreciated Paul Pichugin / http://www.paulmp.com.au

Midnight Sun? by John Dekker

A timed exposure of the Island Arch (which is no longer an arch following the arch’s collapse earlier this year). This is a 13 1/2 minute exposure taken at midnight with a full moon shining brightly on the landscape. It is amazing the light, color and detail that can still be captured. The Island Arch is in the Port Campbell National Park along Victoria’s Great Ocean Road. This was taken on an outing with fellow bubbler, Richard Cubitt.

The Octopus, The Tripod, and Me by Peter Hill

I have presented a number of images shot at North Narrabeen Rockpool over the past year, and this one probably isn’t too special. But it’s different. This was the first time one of my kids came with me, my youngest on this occasion had a good swim. Being hot hot hot as it was, approaching sunset, we whizzed over for a cool dip. This was the first time I actually had a swim there myself. It was too hard to resist. Whilst in the water I figured the low angle and the light presented an opportunity. So my able assistant passed me the tripod, which I rammed into the sand, then my camera, the Canon 5D Mark II, with a Carl Zeiss Distagon 21mm f2.8 lens and a Singh-Ray Vari-ND Filter. This shot was taken with the camera about 4 inches above the water. As I was about to engage the mirror lock-up, I felt something on my foot. Something moving and alive. I looked down and there it was – a big mother of an octopus with an unhealthy interest in me and my tripod. Foot extricated from its tentacles, the only thing left was the tripod leg, which said octopus proceeded to make out with. Though I uttered not a word, my sudden movement attracted a woman who had been watching me set up, and then a small crowd, including squealing kids and pointing adults. Well, I got the bloody shot didn’t I? Then resumed my swim. Gee it was nice. I figure the octopus had been unsettled by the vibration of me ramming the tripod into the sand, and came over to check out the intruder. God, he was big.
Nanarup by georgieboy98

Nanarup Beach is two or three kilometres of sheer delight on the Southern Ocean coast of Western Australia some 25 kms east of Albany and about 470 kms south of Perth. It is a favourite spot for salmon fishing and I vividly remember early one autumn about 1980 paddling through the surf of this beach and feeling the salmon brushing against my legs – there were quite literally hundreds of them. They are usually caught in a huge net that has to be hauled back onto the beach by a 4WD vehicle
