My Sea

near Sugarloaf Rock, Dunsborough.

Finally got down the beautiful WA coast, unfortunately bad timing with gale force winds, lots of sea spray coating my lens and filters and not able to take too many time lapse shots due to wind shudder on the tripod :( However, will be returning again soon.

This is the first in just a few shots I managed to get at this location considering the stormy weather and big seas. I’m thankful for my fingerless gloves coz it was freezin!

Vicki Ferrari

Thank you Vicki :)

The bad weather shows this off to perfection because almost every shot I ever see (and take) of Sugarloaf – and there are scores of them in here – is in almost perfect weather. I love it. Bravo. Best wishes, Peter
Laurette Ruys replied

Thankyou Peter. I knew it woudl be cloudy/rainy when I went down there but I particularly wanted the clouds. I just didn’t predict such strong winds, but i’m still glad I went there and got this shot :)
Andrew Bosman

What an incredibly moody, brooding and atmospheric shot Laurette.
The weather may have been unkind but it has given you the opportunity to capture this wonderful image. Well done.
Laurette Ruys replied

Hey Boz. THere were a few specs of rain as I tried to balance my tripod in the wind and I’m glad I got this shot. Just makes me want to get back down south to take more :))

Lovely color and light.

Very nice image Laurette. Well done.
Chintsala

Very nice. Did you sharpen? Looks a little soft
Laurette Ruys replied

Thanks Chintsala. No i didn’t sharpen this. I dont use sharpening. I think its definitely a bit blurry from quite a few factors, blurry filter, strong winds and therefore no cable release :)
Paul Pichugin

This is a great shot, I love the colours, very similar to the colours I captured there last week :-)
Laurette Ruys replied

Thanks Paul. I really love your shot of Sugarloaf and the colours of it were amazing. Can’t wait to get back down there.

Well I’ve come back from a little trip to see this jaw dropping shot from you!!!!
Oh my this is wonderful photography, I just love how you are getting these shots now, talk about nailing it! I love the exposure so much, the way it draws out the mood through light captured. The water washing in the foreground is so cool, awesome comp and those colours in the sky and water and freaky good! IM really loving this shot Laurette 8-)))

Super stoked you like this shot, as you know you are a big inspiration of mine. was certainly a moody evening down there and freezing as well (love my fingerless gloves).
