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).
