Nerang River
Returned to this spot for a quick fish approaching sunset. With the cooler days of winter here the bream are starting to show up in large numbers. It’s not a bad view looking across the Nerang River towards the Hi-Rises of Surfers Paradise

It’s not to bad a view and is close to home. I still need to find another spot to break the angles up a bit.

Thank you, I’m trying to stay away from this location as I have a few of the similar view now.

Gorgeous color!

You can get some interesting colours through the reflections/buildings. Everyday can be different, except today was the same as this.

I was lucky(or unlucky) to get the same conditions 3 days running, started wanting a little cloud.

magic shot dude!!!...did ya get any bream…
drec replied
Cheers, just cause barra don’t travel this far south….. Been averaging 30cm to 35 cm for bream lately. On light gear it’s a bit of fun.
Ann Van Breemen
This is stunning, Derek. You will have to tell me where that spot is. I’ve been trying to get a view like this for ages.:)
drec replied
There’s a stretch of sand from the Cheveron Island Bridge up to the Rowers Club – well on a low tide. Here is good for all tides and some days you’ll have the rowers to shoot to.
Ann Van Breemen
Thank you. I’ll check it out over the next few days on my days off. I’d better check the tides first. If I get washed away I’ll definitely be front page news.(haha)
jason owens

Not a bad view indeed mate. This is truly stunning. What an amazing capture. I do hope the fishing was just as successful!
drec replied
Not bad spot, lately the fishing has been pretty good, normally they bite when I’m setting up a panoramic shot
Vanessa Barklay
It really is just beautiful mate :O)
drec replied
Thank you, if it wasn’t such a reliable spot I’d try elsewhere.

WoW!! Out of this world.
drec replied
Been hardly any wind which helps keep the river pretty still, same colours as this 3 days running(I started wanting cloud) but I’m here to fish.

drec replied
I have a pretty good shot of this with just blue sky and the sun’s light reflecting of the buildings, there again I have quite a few of this same scene.

this is a very nice long exposure. The composition is working very well. good job.
drec replied
Cheers. Around the 30seconds on the exposure, during the week there’s less boat traffic which makes it easier.

Thank you. Close to being as is this one, well, I did straighten the horizon, removed a couple of dark spots and a little levels adjust. Colours are true.
