Wrecked.

Steve Chapple

Wrecked.

Remains of a sailing vessel washed ashore off Carpenters Rocks, South East South Australia.

The boat is submerged in sand and is only visible like this on low tides with slight winds. Slowly being broken down by the ocean waves.

Had to wade out to get this shot as it was…

  • Ryan Carter

    Ryan Carter

    Great shot mate! Where did you take this?

  • Steve Chapple replied

    Ryan. Its South of the lighthouse at Carpenters Rocks in the South East. I think they call it red Rock Bay. Only usually visible on really low tides. Would be a good place to be at sunrise if the tide was low as you could get the sun coming up over the boat.

  • Basia McAuley

  • JohnEvans

    JohnEvans

    Beautiful. Hard to believe the myriad of colours in this composition. Just about all the colours found in our autumn forests. Then there`s the colour and “texture” of the water.

    Is this what you did this evening after we met up earlier this afternoon??? You just wandered down to the beach and took a shot like THIS?! Wow!

  • Steve Chapple replied

    Yep, this took my eye rather than the wave movement through the gap that I originally intended to do…..

  • Heather  Rivet  IPA

  • Joel Hall

    Joel Hall

    Great shot! You’re a hardcore photographer wading out in the water with $$ camera equipment :p

  • Steve Chapple replied

    Thanks guys for the comment. I think the funnier sight would have been this old guy wading out in his underwear to get this shot, thankfully no one else was on the beach…...Trod very carefully and washed the camera pretty well straight away after the shoot….

    By the way Stephen, you might like to know that someone has ripped off this shot and claiming it as their own at http://www.redbubble.com/people/splean/art/1818139-2-shipwrecked. Looks like someone doing it for a laugh, although can’t really see the funny side myself…
