Sunset Colours

Recently I have spent some time away on the beautiful Mid North Coast of NSW. One night we went out for dinner overlooking the beautiful Wallis Lake at sunset.

This is the view that we had up the lake. I just love how the reflections play on the water.

OK so what's good about this photo? I believe I have a focal point in the buildings, the eye is instantly drawn there, and then is take out into the remainder of the photo by the lines of the shore. There is also a contrast happening in colour from the blue/grey to the peach. That focal point is on that 1/3 position too which I am getting better at using.

All in all I am happy with this one. One of my favourite places to be.

The Beach That Was

Just another view of my favourite beach as it used to be,  taken from the headland. If you look closely around the center of the pic, you can just see the walkways onto the beach from the park behind the sand dune. It was from the end of one of these walkways that I took yesterday's pic. Note the level of the trees, the distance between trees & water, the fact that they are vertical & not horizontal, and also the amount of sand. All much different than yesterday's pic. Oh what a difference a storm or two makes.

Twilight Time

One of my favourite beaches at twilight. The sad part is there was no beach, the currents & tides over the last twelve months or so have taken the beach away. High tide now brings the water right up to the sand dunes, &  is slowly eroding  them away to the point that the trees are falling into the water. Mother Nature at work.

I love this pic though & was happy at how it turned out. Not sure why, I think it is the monochramic colour, the way the flash light plays on the leaves of the she oak tree, and maybe the fact that most lines radiate out from that central point on the left.
