Waiting, Waiting (3/3)

Waiting, Waiting (3/3)

This lovely riparian sunset silhouette was photographed from the Town Green looking toward the Lady Nelson Wharf on the south bank of the Hastings River in
Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia , at the start of a lovely autumn evening.

Originally I was after the fishermen and a couple of pelicans began cruising around waiting for some fish scraps so I thought I would bag a shot of this scene as well.

Camera: Fuji S9600; RAW; Shutter Priority; 1/500sec; f/4.2; 43mm; Auto Focus; WB Daylight; ISO 100; Spot Metering; Centre Focussing; Hand held.
Processing: S7RAW & Photoshop CS.

    Wonderful photos, Dennis.
    Such amazing light and colours. And the mood is so relaxing.
    I’ve seen “Waiting, Waiting” earlier on DPF, Ithink, and I have a soft spot for aircraft, especially so for seaplanes, so to me, “TheAkunaComesHome” is absolutely stunning. So excellently composed.
    But all the three of them are exceptional beautifully captured.
    Brilliant work.

    Oh it was such a fantastic sunset and they were great silhouettes. As I stood there sussing out one shot, I would make the shot I wanted and then within seconds and/or minutes, the scene would change with something or someone else drifting past the wharf. I had a great time! 8-)

    Mate, you could quite easily dangle a line here. The wharf has very easy access on and off and all you have to do is pick your spot. 8-)
