Currumbin Alley
Last one from today’s visit to Currumbin Alley. Quite lucky today, while lining up a shot similar to this I was swamped by a wave hitting the rocks behind me. Lucky that I had taken my cut-off rain-coat sleeve with me today after hearing about Mel Brackstone’s experience. If not for this reminder, my camera would have been water-logged. It’s a pain to use as you can’t really see your dials, wireless remote still works though – might make a couple of adjustments before the Summer storms come rolling in.

Gorgeous shot here.love the waves and the light.
drec replied
Thank you. Shooting into the sun and exposing for the shadows of the rocks is something I’ll have to play with a bit more. Would like to not totally blow out the highlights.

Drec, this is absolutely perfect my friend!! I am counting on you to get some good storm chases in this season!! I want to see some GOOD lightning shots like I know you can do!!!
Keep up the great work Bro!!
drec replied
Thanks. Waterproofing/sleeve worked wonders a bit after this so I know my camera will be safe and this lens is better than what I had last year. Now it’s time to keep an eye on the forecasts/MSL Gradient maps and wait.

Excellent water motion, what exposure this taken with Drect.
Do you use ND400 filter
Cheers
drec replied
Thank you. I had my Circular PL on and this one was shot @ f11 1/8sec 100 iso. Might try and up the shutter speed a little bit next time(if similar conditions are there).
