  • The Dragons Head..... revisited

    There are a couple of spots on the ocean side of the Mornington Peninsula that are only accessible during low tide, the Dragons Head is one of them. I thought that I would take advantage of an extremely low tide yesterday morning and headed down to the surf beaches. Of course it would be too much to expect that the low tide would coincide with the golden hour, but you have to take what you are given.

    F10.0 4 seconds ISO 800 Shot at 2:00 PM.

    Another keeper John. Nicely composed with rule of thirds add some nice colour and some action and you have a very pleasant image.
    Better a full bottle in front of me
    than a full frontal lobotomy.

        Beautiful John, and nice light for 2pm. The moving water works well as does the composition.

          Thanks for the kind words Hans, a couple of fluffy white clouds would have been welcome.

          Thanks Isac, short answer, no. Still struggling with the math of it, when I'm not worrying about the tide coming in and leaving me stranded I will delve in to it in greater depth.

          Thanks Alan, possibly the CPL + 12 stop ND helped the colours a tad.

            That I really like and I would think I would try to get as many angles of it as I could.
            Not too sure how they would turn out as this might the be the best angle.
            Well done.

              Thanks for the kind words Ralph.
              You are very limited in regards to photographing the Dragons Head Ralph, if you get too far left or right the "image" of a dragons head is lost. Add to this the fact that it s only accessible during a low tide limits things somewhat.
