2011 Photography Highlights

Some of my favorite shots from 2011.  Here’s looking forward to taking many more in 2012!

I went for a jog along the coast last weekend, and took a few shots of the surf pounding the coast during an abnormally high tide. Wylies, which is my favourite rock swimming pool, was completely overrun by waves. I didn’t spot anyone brave enough to take on these conditions, better just to get a coffee and enjoy the show.

Taken on my lunchbreak, with an iPhone. The light in Sydney really is spectacular, the photo is pretty much straight out of the camera, slightly sharpened and a soft focus added.

Coogee Beach @ Sunrise

They say the best time of day for landscape photography is the golden hour each side of sunrise and sunset.  I dragged myself out of bed at 5am on a couple of occasions to see if this was true, and was rewarded with some spectacular sunrises at Coogee Beach.  The outcome was these photos:
