The Photographer

On Sunday 10th July 2010, I headed out for a winter sunrise with a few mates, braving the wind and cold. Thermals with multiple layers over the top, beanie and gloves were a necessity and made the morning cold just bearable.

We started at Nobby's Beach, where we captured the sunrise. Not too bad considering the lack of interest in the sky (edited in iPhoto).

And this one too (edited in Adobe Lightroom)

While shooting the sunrise, we met a pro photographer who asked if he could take photo's of us while we were taking photos of the sunrise. Interesting concept and the photos on his camera looked quite interesting. It always amazes me how photographers come up with different views of the same scene.

We then headed to Newcastle Baths and by chance we happened to meet up with the pro photographer again. The seas were quite big and the water in the baths was spilling out over the footpath. While we wandered around capturing the big seas smashing over and into the baths, the pro photographer kept photographing us. He showed us a few of his shots later. Again i was intrigued by the different perspectives he was capturing and it inspired me to capture this shot (edited in Adobe Lightroom 3).

So despite the cold, we had a great morning, learning a few tips in composition from the pros and capturing some interesting scenes.

Cheers
