The First Reflections of Ocean Reef by

VIEW LARGE

A beautifully calm winter sunset at Ocean Reef in Western Australia…!

This was the first shot taken as I arrived..I was still out of breath running here and so pleased I caught the last of the full strength sunset which cast some amazing reflections on the still water within the harbour.

As you can see it was a feast for the senses but I had for the most part missed the light changes…shortly after this and just a few other shots…it all faded away…

Next time I will make sure of my destination !!!..famous last words !

Nikon D90
Sigma 10-20mm @ 11mm
F/16
1.3 Sec Exposure
ISO 100

Heliopan polariser
Hitech 0.9 Soft ND Grad

I have since processed the single image in photomatix pro 4 with exceptional results I think, this new updated program really does allow for some very subtle enhancements that bring out the naturally dark areas without the cartoon look…love it !!

About Jonathan Stacey

Appreciating and capturing light is the cornerstone to my photography. combine this with the beauty of our Western Australian beaches and rocky coastline and you have something that should be both witnessed, captured and shared.

I hope I can inspire you to take the time to see a sunrise or sunset, on a coast or a rocky outcrop somewhere, and then maybe you can understand why for me, Photography has become a passion……
