Canoe Pool at Newcastle Baths

Bev Woodman

Canoe Pool at Newcastle Baths

Another in my series of shots of the Newcastle Baths, the adjoining canoe pool and surrounding beaches. Today the weather was windy but sunny and so the ocean gave off the most beautiful blue colouring. This shot is similar to my previous one however you will note the canoe pool has water in this one and the pool covers a more total area of the photo. Always a challenge and always a spot to keep going back to. This shot was taken with the Nikon D80 using the 55-200 mm lens on landscape setting.

    awesome capture Bev, looks like the waves will wipe out the pool!

  • Bev Woodman replied

    Wow John you were quick – I had just posted this one. Thank you so much for the feedback – its a bit deceiving as the waves were a little way from the pool although I did have to keep my eye on them just in case one snuck up on me where I was standing.

    Bev, you’re stirring my memories again with this series of shots! ;-)) This ine is absolutely beautiful, particularly with the foreshortening the lens does! Like Hans, I can feel and smell the salt spray!

    where do you go to get these awesome waves?
    cool photo :) laurie

  • Bev Woodman replied

    Laurie I live in a twin city, two cities that combine. I live in Lake Macquarie where we have the lake as well as beaches within a five minute drive however this shot is in adjoining Newcastle on the beach there. We are lucky that we have a whole coastline of beaches to choose from.

  • Bev Woodman replied

    Hi and thank you for the wonderful comment. I have just put out a calendar on a selection of these shots too. Thanks again for stopping by.

    Great picture Bev, it’s just a pity i can only comment as i’m from the wrong Newcastle
    Just a thought but if you could extend the site to all the Newcastles we would see what was happening around the world maybe.

  • Bev Woodman replied

    Hi James for dropping by. I’d love to but I dearly want to promote my neck of the woods. We are just coming out of an industrial city phase and the whole area is undergoing huge change – this is my little bit to draw attention to the beauty we have in Newcastle and all the areas immediately around it. I’d welcome any images you have of your Newcastle and maybe I could hold them over and when we get enough just have you all as a guest feature.

    Great shot – I really like the contrast between the rusty posts and the blue blue waves and spray – well done.

  • Bev Woodman replied

    Hi and thank you for the comment on this one. I’m so pleased you liked it. I think most of us photographers here in Newcastle have attempted a shot of this chain fence at some time – I just love this area.

    Oh now you’re really getting into my favourite shots – I just love capturing the surf and can spend hours just sitting and clicking away, counting the sets and waiting for the next lot to roll in. I’ll share this one with you Sharon – thank you.
