Lost in the desert (well, the beach anyway!)
Wanted to put this one up because i like the way his legs seem so real and life- like despite the surreal setting – simple as that really.
I went out today to get some shots and ended up walking up this rather steep sand hill (I could get fit if I keep this up). On the way back to the car I dropped my shutter release, but after backtracking for a while I finally found it. Thankfully, I didn’t have to climb this hill again to search for it.!!! / And to top that off, I almost sank in mud and nearly lost a shoe at another location…but that story is for another photo…. Title inspired by Frank Zappa. / / / / / /
Someone once wrote- One night a man had a dream. / He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the dark sky flashed scenes from his life. / For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, / one beloning to him and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, / he looked back at the footprints in the sand. / He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. / He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. / This bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. “Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, / you’d walk with me all the way. / But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life there is only one set of footprints. / I don’t understand why when I needed you most you would leave me.” The Lord replied “My precious, precious child, I love you and would never leave you. / During your times of trial and suffereing, / when you see only one set of footprints in the sand, / it was then that I carried you.”

The emu walked slowly off in to the distance leaving only perfect footprints in the sand. Canunda National Park, Millicent, South Australia.
BEST VIEWED LARGER / Palm Beach is located probably about a hour by car an d bus, it is located on a spit of sand with Broken Bay on one side and the ocean on the other at its tip it is dominated by Barenjoey headland and light house. Properties in this area can be priced in the $millions. A favourite with Australias growing list of rich and famous. Popular as film location for its sheer beauty, for those soapie fans it is the base for the Australian SOAPIE Home & Away.. yes there is a “Summer bAy” It i also about 10 minutes from where I live This shot is also another in my exploration of the HDR technique generated from 4 bracketed shot taken at sunrise

Another set of emu tracks heading through the dunes, Canunda National Park, Millicent, South Australia. A pristine area where these birds roam free leaving just their footprints.

Totally exhausted from it’s long journey (Grand Canyon to North Carolina), this duck just barely managed to drag itself onto the beach to rest. Note the similarities to this Duck spotted at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon: /
BETTER VIEWED LARGER Newport Beach is 30 kilometres from Sydney on the northern beaches of Sydney. This shot taken at sunrise was wonderful with reflections and light. / Newport can be reached by car or bus from the Sydney CBD, this is my neighbourhood No colour manupulation was used nor any filters, the hightened colours are the result of High Dynamic Range. Equipment: Nikon D300, Sigma 10-20mm lens, 5 Bracketted images .
This award winning photo was my own personal choice for the place of honor in our home: above the hearth. The photo was taken on a still, misty morning near Port Orford, Oregon, of a man walking his dog on the boulder strewn beach, with the hazy coastal mountains rising up in the background. It’s hard to imagine that it could get any more peaceful and inspiring than this, isn’t it? (Nikon D200, Nikkor DX 18-70 mm 3.5-4.5 ED Lens, Settings f/13.0, 1/640th, ISO 320, 70 mm)
