Port Willunga Jetty
800 views. This is Port Willunga Jetty in mono. Taken at Port Willunga, South Australia, Australia at sunset. I was going for a high key type image.
This was taken on a tripod, no flash, f25, ISO 200, 1.3 sec exposure with a Canon DSLR EOS 350D.
I was so fortunate to sell, on redbubble, a large mounted print of this work, with the white border and artist’s details, to a good friend, Nathan. Thank you so much.

This is fabulous E, it evokes a feeling of sinister mystique, isolation and quiet contemplation.
...impressed.
Elana Bailey replied
John, you’ve summed up how I’m feeling right now! So glad you are impressed, as I know that your standards are high. Many thanks matey.
Peter Hill
Wow, Elana, wonderful. I had a look at the larger view. At 1.3 seconds the foreground incoming wave has shape yet doesn’t detract and the 3 barely visible posts in the foreground have the start of that wonderful ‘smoke on water’ look when flowing water is captured around an inanimate object for longer exposure. So, that’s pretty cool for a start. And maybe an idea for the next one – a longer exposure but closer to the poles and avoiding the wave “impact”. Then the horizon caught my eye because an ocean shot like this you expect to see waves or at least an uneven horizon, But in this shot it is perfectly linear with a lot of similar texture between the sky and the water. Now that’s pretty cool, and surreal. The light is fantastic – just right at that speed – as is the composition. The only downer was the reduced clarity on the poles themselves. But hey – a great image! Love it.
Elana Bailey replied
Peter, firstly thank you so much for spending the time to give me a constructive and explicit review, twice. It means a great deal. I understand the ‘smoke on the water’ effect now and I plan a trip back to this place in the future and will take on board your suggestions. This shot was taken 2 years ago for a low level lighting assignment for college and I have learnt a great deal since then (I’m always learning)....I have also perused Becca’s profile as suggested and think that she is an amazing photographer, for someone so young. (Already added her to my watchlist). I agree about the reduced clarity though. I almost got there! P.S. Many thanks for adding this one to your favs, too.
jaffa
lovely shot, love the mono.
Elana Bailey replied

Stunning
Elana Bailey replied
Big D, thank you so kindly.
Peter Hill
Coincidently, that ‘smoke on water’ effect can be seen in an image just posted by Becca Cusworth. It shows the wonderful effect coming through in your image around those 3 lower poles.
Phil Thomson IPA

cpcphoto
no graduated ND filter required? Great image, agree with some of the above a longer capture time would be even better.
Elana Bailey replied
I didn’t have any ND filters (or know what they were) 2 years ago, when this was shot. I’ll take them with me, just in case, next time I visit this spot, though. I’ll try a longer exposure time too. Many thanks.
Steve Chapple
I agree, this is just the right amount of motion and softness, wonderful outcome and perfect in B&W!
