This is another image captured at the Pinnacles, Western Australia during my last visit in November 2003. I like the pattern formed by the sand. The early morning sunlight gave good contour patterns of light and shadow. The saturated blue sky provided the image with good colour contrast help to create a picture with good visual impact. Nature is really the greatest artist among them all!

Mother Nature should be regarded as the greatest artist of them all. The aesthetics of nature has provided endless inspriations for our artists through the ages. I captured this image after taking the “Waves of Cottesloe Beach” (featured just a few days ago) in Western Australia. The lighting was just brilliant, emphasizing the textures for such a natural setting. A polariser was used to achieve an even greater colour saturatuion in the original vivid, blue sky.
The shape of the sandstone on the right reminded me of a tortise climbing up a slope. What is your interpretation?
The lighting ratio increases as the sun sets lower. Such conditions provided me with an opportunity to capture The Three Sisters of Katoomba, Australia, in a different mood. The exposure setting here has to be accurate in order to achieve good details at both ends of the lighting ratio. I like the touch of cloud patterns that enhanced the visual impact of this landscape study.
