an overcast day
did not divert the seagulls'
hopes for fish and chips

Waves at Coogee Ocean Pool (haiku)

Photographing the Sea
is all about waiting for
'just-the-right-moment'

when the wave crests and
the water hangs suspended:
a fragment of time

South Coogee White-Balance...

These two images show what a bit of simple tweaking can do with an image... The first image is shot RAW on a Canon G9 (clunky pocket camera) and was closer to how it 'really' looked - it was a grey day, overcast by cloud-covered skies. The second image was processed using the RAW-converter in Adobe Photoshop: a simple change of the white-balance and - Voila! Brilliant summers day!

Gordon's Bay, Sydney.

Gordon's Bay is a jewel tucked into the glittering bracelet of coastline between Coogee and Clovelly. Broad yet sheltered, it has reef-like rock formations that are home to schools of fish, including the legendary Blue Grouper. Snorkelers and dive-school students are seen frequently launching off the ramp between the rocks to explore the wonderland below.
