Pinnacles, Western Australia
‘Diamonds of the Night’
Western Australia’s Pinnacles are a place I have only ever photographed under a clear night sky and it is not hard to understand why. Situated two hours north of Perth, the skies are very dark and on a clear night, they are filled with stars, galaxy’s and the Milky Way. The landscape itself has always felt a little otherworldly to me and in my eyes, works so well under the night skies. I had captured this pinnacle once before but didn’t get what I was hoping for so a return trip one night was in order. Photographing the night sky has its own set of challenges but the results can be very rewarding!
Alone
This black and white, lone tree photograph, is something that I feel needed to be part of my collection. A simple, clean photograph of farmland here in Western Australia, just outside of Perth. I love the space in this shot and felt a black and white rendition would suit it. On this particular day when I realised the flat white skies were going to be around for a while I decided to drive out of town to photograph this tree that I had passed countless times on camping trips over the years. I think maybe I should have done it sooner!
On the hunt
Well im coming toward the end of my time at university and am so excited to be thinking about my next photograph, not my next report!
I have been itching to capture something special over the past month and it really starts to burn. I captured this shot earlier in the week in a spot that is right against one of the coastal roads yet very very secluded in the same sense. It was great sitting here with the waves rolling into this little spot I found. This shot should give you an idea of what i watched!
out shooting… on the 400d
Well the life of the uni student really hits home when you save money for a camera over a 2 week uni break only to realise that it will all go to living expenses due to uni rather than the intended camera….. but not to worry! I still love photography and got out today for some more b&w stuff! 🙂
so here it is
year old photos
Heres a pic from canal rocks that i tool last time i was down south about a year ago now.
Gettin Close
Heres a couple macro shots i took last night! Havent done any macro stuff since year 12 and i love it so much. Its great for nice simple abstract images i think 🙂
Expect a few more of these in the coming week!
More of Nedlands, and More Smiles on my face! :)
This is another shot from the other afternoon down on the river. This was the last shot of the day a few minutes after the colour had left the clouds.
Favourite photo for around 6 months i think!
I love this shot! (bit full of myself) but i do. I think its one of my best shots for quite some time! i just love the simplicity and the pink clouds against the blue sky. It reminds me of another of my photos called cottesloe beach, which can be found in my new images gallery at dylanfox.com.au
Its 4 images stitch but cropped to a 3:1 ratio. Shot after the previous pano. The long exposure (5 seconds at f11) that was neccesary on the 400D means the yachts are a smidge blury but i dont care cause the poles are sharp and it turned out just how i wanted! 🙂
Hope you like it even remotely as much as i do! 😛
Out skating
Was out skating at nedlands this arvo. I had been watching the sky all day and knew it would be good so i brought my gear to be sure i was ready for a cracker! Sure enough it was a great sunset an i managed to snap this pano of the river. First 4-1 i have done in a long time even though i used to love shooting 4-1. It was on the 400d and it still managed to come in at just a smidge under 20,000px 🙂
Im not sure that i have finished this pic yet… but figured ill chuck it up anyway while i have the time!
Cloudy Days
Well ive been waitin to get another photo of this little waterfall thing at kings park, and have just been waiting for an overcast day when i could get up there
Im pretty happy with the result 😀
Good Sunsets in Perth?
Well there have been some good sunsets around lately and a couple nights ago provided a new image for my cloudscapes portfolio.
Dreams
After watching the sky all day on saturday and knowing it would be a good sunset and then actually seeing how amazing it really was, I had to go out Sunday arvo. I was down at the beach and noticed some nice clouds on the horizon so knew they would be rolling through later. Have been wanting to shoot Lake monger for a while cause It provides a very simple composition. I didnt expect to get such nice colour though!
This image has had a minor levels adjustment and brightened up a little with a screen layer. Have to make sure that levels layer is set to luminosity otherwise the reds were blowing out.
