12 Apostles storm

A morning storm approaches the rugged coastline of the 12 apostles. An incredible soft light bounces off the stormy sky over the water and cliff faces rendering the scene in a very unique colour.

    Thanks John – sometimes it pays to ‘brave’ the elements… it was freezing cold and raining during this pre-dawn shoot.

    “Majestic” is the first word that came to mind look at the large version of this. Such grandeur in the triple expanse of ocean, cliffs, and sky! And then I detected an element of sensuality—maybe the luscious greens of the ocean and the soft blues in the sky? I don’t know, but I do know I like it a lot. :)

  • Tony Middleton replied

    hi Kevin,
    I think its the mood and tones of that sky, from the blues in the top left to the ominous and almost dirty tones to the right. The water is amazing too though. I was in awes of the show before me !

    thanks for such an indepth and emotive comment – much appreciated !

    Love the contrast between the LH side and the RH side of this image. Powerful.

  • Tony Middleton replied

    hi Rosalie,
    You are so right and it is pretty unique too – Powerful is a great description ! Thanks :)

    Your patience and ability to ‘see’ that magic moment is dramatically evident here.

  • Tony Middleton replied

    hi Enivea,
    How did you guess that this shot just didn’t occur ? lol
    Yep it was somewhat planned well in advance and it came off quite well. :)

    thank-you

    G’day Tony
    The storm looks great with the coast line in view. Some of the apostles look like
    they are right in the path of the storm, great colours
    Cheers Rod.

  • Tony Middleton replied

    hey Rod,
    yep we were all in it’s path ! though the strongest area of the storm passed just offshore. Shortly after completing this shot (ones like this can take 10min minumum to set up and get the exposure and then for it to transpire). I was running for cover from the popur rain and gales.

    cheers,

    Very moody… love the unusual light… : )

  • Tony Middleton replied

    hi Jenny,
    It really is unusual isn’t it ! certainly help[s to give the scene a special ‘x’ factor I think.

    thank you :)
