I was so relieved when I checked the tide charts and the sunrise/sunset times yesterday… it was clearly time to get back to the beach for some more landscape photography!
Ever since shooting Mentone Pier at dawn recently, I have been wanting to get back there at dusk, as it really seemed to be more of a sunset location. I was glad I decided to do so last night, as I was presented with a glowing, warm sunset over a choppy Port Phillip Bay, which provided the opportunity for capturing silky waters beneath a vivid, orange sky. The warm glow on the wooden texture of the derelict piles was an added bonus in this composition.
For the technically minded: HDR photo generated from three exposures (+/-2ev) using Photomatix Pro and then enhanced in Lightroom, Photoshop and Topaz Adjust.

Great shot, i love the roughness of the wood against the calm water.
Thanks, sarahdennis… isn’t it amazing how the camera can turn a choppy swell (as it was this day) into calm, silky water through extended exposures?!? :)

Thanks, Michael… composition was the area of art/photography that I struggled with through my earlier years, so it means a lot to hear someone say my composition is “excellent” ;) Thanks again!

Thanks for taking the time to comment, patjila… I think it is the ability for piers and jetties to draw you into an image like this that has got me focusing on them for subject material at the moment!
