Davey's Bay Yacht Club

While shooting a different part of the South-Eastern stretch of Port Philip Bay, I decided to take a wander and do a bit of exploring. I found this old jetty that was really getting run-down. They don’t really build new jetties like this anymore. Nowadays they all have handrails, lights and all manner of objects. As the sun went down, I decided that I wasn’t going to shoot it properly, but instead take some practice shots. When I came home and took a look at my photos for the evening I was surprised at just how this one turned out. It was exactly what I wanted and I didn’t even realise it at the time. Since then the jetty has been dismantled and work on a new one has begun.

    Very nice. I’ve had the same experience a few times. Sometimes it surprises you the colours & dynamic range you pick up in the right light. Lucky you took some test shots before the jetty was gone. You reminded me of a tree I’ve been meaning to photograph for a long time which will probably be knocked down soon due to road works. Maybe I’ll start with some test shots.
