Just relaxing with my seaplane

Unfortunately not my seaplane, but what better way to get to the beach for a relaxing hour or two.

As the sun sets, a boat is winched to the back of the owner's car, and all is well...

Water droplets

Warm colours of a terracotta water feature. I also was interested in how the water would be captured at the camera's fastest shutter speed of 1/8000th of a second.

Waiting for the day

A single light illuminates the play equipment during the night. There is not a sound to be heard during these hours, except the waves of the Indian Ocean crashing in the background. 30 second exposure.

Fishing. Day 6/365

This image is a number of years old. It shows my niece and nephew, Georgina and William, fishing at dusk. The original file has long been lost (hard drive failure), so I rephotographed a print instead.

Day 7/365

11 Jun 2014 102
The family in this photo are standing on the wreck of the SS Kwinana , which in 1922 ran aground on a beach in Western Australia, south of Perth. The area then became known as Kwinana. Since 1922 the population has grown to over 32,000 inhabitants, and Kwinana officially became a city In 2012. Rockingham, which borders Kwinana, was also named after a ship wreck. In 1830 the ship Rockingham was abandoned after being blown ashore. Today, Rockingham has grown to become a city too. This picture was made with a 24mm wide-angle lens in order to include a lot of sky. Split-toning has been added in Photoshop to add a bit of tone in both the highlights and shadows (yellow in the highlights and purple in the shadows).

Day 13/365

I very much like the design for this street sign, Kent Street Deli. The sign uses a fork for the stem of the letter 'K'; a knife for the letter 'L' and a swash 'D'. Some years ago I worked as sign designer; even today I tend to notice all sorts of street signs. Kent Street Deli, Kent Street, Rockingham, Western Australia

Day 14/365

It is mid-June—but this looks suspiciously like a Christmas themed attraction designed to bring in the shoppers. There was more than a few people tut-tutting when they saw this. Rockingham Shopping Centre, Western Australia.
