Sun and Stone

Sam Sneddon

Sun and Stone

After shooting the early light of the morning down at Cape Schanck I thought I’d take a quick shot of the sun light reflecting off the large boulders in this little cove. I love the warm colours and shapes of wet boulders in the sun. If you ever go down to this place when the tied is high and the weather a little on the wild side, the massive waves that come crashing in to this little space throw these boulders around making an awesome rumbling sound. A must see if you live close enough to the Mornington Peninsula.

    Wonderful light. The light on the rocks with the movement of the water and the low sun are a wonderful combination. I think maybe I am on an other planet…...

    Beautiflly atmospheric and tranquil sunset scene, Sam.
    love the foreground interst of water-smoothed rocks.

    Superb photoart!

    I’m also a photographer

    Like you, I couldn’t paint – but last year, I thought I’d like to be able to create a painting to rival my photoart. So I picked up a brush and pencil, and now I’m hooked on watercolours!!

    Regards
    Colin.
