Clarity

Clarity
The second theme released for the Canon PhotoMarathon I participated in yesterday was “Clarity”. Released at 12 noon when lighting was the harshest for any outdoor photography, we experimented with a few ideas over a quick lunch but those ideas didn’t work the way we wanted. With just about less than 45 minutes to go till the deadline, I chance upon a public security camera (while walking back to the main event venue) and came out with this photo for my submission. Deliberately throwing everything into overexposure, I exposed for my own reflection in the security camera dome, coming out the above unusual effect.

Wave Power Over The Gap

Wave Power Over The Gap
We made a visit to The Gap and Natural Bridge at Torndirrup National Park during our recent trip to Albany, Western Australia. The views at this easy-to-access (important when travelling with kids!) can best be described at their official website:

“Lookouts at both The Gap and Natural Bridge provide outstanding views of the Southern Ocean and the coast from Bald Head to West Cape Howe. Visitors to The Gap can venture onto the accessible viewing platform 40m above the surging seas.

From the gentle and mesmerising heaving of calm seas, to the buffeting rush of wind and spray of winter storms the experience changes from day to day. A raised pathway leads from the parking and picnic area across the top of the exposed granite ramparts to reach the viewing platform at The Gap. The pathway allows safe access to some of the best views, while keeping vulnerable plants and lichens on the rock surface from harm’s way.”

Reflections At Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour

Reflections At Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour
From our recent trip to Western Australia… Photography when travelling with family sometimes just means stealing a little spare time during short moments such as when we were waiting for dinner to be prepared. A quick stroll to the pier outside allowed me to capture some nice pictures just as the twilight was approaching. I love the reflections made by the very calm waters that evening.
