Blue Bay - Ooh!! Belmont NSW

Another image of tonight’s sunset over Lake Macquarie taken from the salt water baths at Belmont. I was amazed at the wondrous colours that constantly filled the sky tonight … if I blinked or looked away for a minute I was met with another scene … equally as incredible as before.

Taken with the Nikon D90, 18-270 mm Tamron lens at 18 mm, 1/160, F9, ISO 400.

    Thanks Jade … I was pleased to get these shots tonight … I didn’t think initially that there would be anything outstanding but was proved wrong … my patience and determination paid off!♥

    My word Bev, this is a real cracker of a shot with colours and reflections galore. I love the composition of this and would be interested to see how it looks in black and white too. Peter

    Thanks Peter for your enthusiastic response to this one. The tide was out and the reflections in the foreground was a muddy little pool of ‘nothing’ ... just enough calm water though to spring to life and provide me with these reflections!♥

    Thank you so much for the comment and favourite … you just need to find the right time for shots like these … and have a lot of patience to sit and wait until the right moment and light … it was a great way to unwind after work tonight!♥

    Really spectacular Bev – you had a glorious day it seems and enough patience to wait for just this moment. Sunsets over water are so beautiful – I’d love to be able to do that – lol – but I’m a long way from a body of water large enough to count!

  • Bev Woodman replied 23 days ago

    Thanks Lianne … it would have been nice to have had you sitting next to me taking this shot … chatting and swapping camera ideas … pack your bag … this lake is large enough to share!♥

    Very beautiful scene Bev, wonderful colours!

  • Bev Woodman replied 23 days ago

    Thanks Kathy … the lake and the setting sun certainly worked in unison to create some beautiful colours!♥

    had my first swimming lesson here as a child nearly drowned!! pretty shot though!

  • Bev Woodman replied 23 days ago

    Thanks Judy … no doubt there’s plenty of similar stories … I shudder to think of what we got up to as kids in places like this and the near misses … I’m so glad you’re hear though to tell the story!♥

    Just stunning. a fav for me. x

  • Bev Woodman replied 18 days ago

    Thank you for commenting and favouriting this one! The sky was quite different to normal sunsets on this day and changed constantly … this was early when the sky was still blue and I thought it added something different to the shot♥

    This is so soft and the textures provide a great contrast. Nice work!

  • Bev Woodman replied 15 days ago

    Thanks Sonia – I loved the blue in this one … a little bit different to the strong colours that crept in later in the sunset♥
