Sunrise Seascape - Sat 9th AprilLooking like a cloudy (maybe some rain). Could be a high risk- return endeavour.
Low tide. 0613am. Any suggestions?
Re: Sunrise Seascape - Sat 9th AprilI'll see if I can make it - even earlier now

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.
Re: Sunrise Seascape - Sat 9th AprilWhat about Manly (Cabbage Tree Bay Rock pool and/or Little Manly Cove)? I've never been there?
Or even somewhere in the harbour (that can see the city or SHB or SOH or north or south head)? D600, D7000, Nikon/Sigma/Tamron Lenses, Nikon Flashes, Sirui/Manfrotto/Benro Sticks

Re: Sunrise Seascape - Sat 9th April
Unfortunately yes. Will have to be there by 0535 or so. Have been to South head which was quite interesting.
Re: Sunrise Seascape - Sat 9th April
yeah south head was alright from memory, a bit of a walk... gerry's photography journey

Re: Sunrise Seascape - Sat 9th AprilRodney, the Manly rockpool will be better in high tide.
![]() I reckon we should keep to the lower northshore. How about Turimetta?
Re: Sunrise Seascape - Sat 9th April
Well - I've never been there and I hear it's good ![]() D600, D7000, Nikon/Sigma/Tamron Lenses, Nikon Flashes, Sirui/Manfrotto/Benro Sticks

Re: Sunrise Seascape - Sat 9th April
Low tide will allow you to scramble around the rocks on the North Side of the headland to Canyon X. Need to allow plenty of time though. Failing that, the South side is good according to Cows who was there a week or 2 ago

sounds like a westpac rescue chopper job! count me in for that one ![]() gerry's photography journey

Re: Sunrise Seascape - Sat 9th AprilBoys, Canyon X is very nice indeed. But I will not be scrambling down that rope (Have you seen the video?). I am in favour of walking up from Turimetta though. Unfortunately we will need to allow for plenty of time. Probably need to get there ready to go at 0500 or so...

Re: Sunrise Seascape - Sat 9th April![]() Just remember your torches. Preferably head lamps as you will be scrambling over rocks in the dark.

...just wait till you see it in real life ...from the safety of the lower shelf ![]()
Re: Sunrise Seascape - Sat 9th AprilSo what time and where exactly are we planning to meet - I'll try and encourage my daughter to come along again as well.
I do have to leave by about 7:30AM however which I'm guessing shouldn't be too much of a problem but no breaky afterwards for us ![]() D600, D7000, Nikon/Sigma/Tamron Lenses, Nikon Flashes, Sirui/Manfrotto/Benro Sticks

Re: Sunrise Seascape - Sat 9th AprilRay, can you give an idea how long it took you guys to get around there?
I would suggest leaving a good 1/2 hr to get around to the location sunrise is at 6:12am that means you would want to be at location by 5:45? which means meeting at the carpark by 5:15 at the latest. holy crap thats gonna be an early one... low tide is at exactly 6am so its probably the best time to do this one. gerry's photography journey

Re: Sunrise Seascape - Sat 9th AprilWe went round in daylight after a shoot on the headland but I didnt really take note of how long it took.
There is a couple of hairy bits on the way but I reckon you young blokes should be able to do it comfortably in 20 minutes tops ![]()
Re: Sunrise Seascape - Sat 9th AprilJust remember I'll probably have an 11 year old girl with me (and neither with rock hoppers, etc) so nothing too risky please
![]() Which carpark do we meet at? ... and as Gerry knows I'm really all set now ![]() D600, D7000, Nikon/Sigma/Tamron Lenses, Nikon Flashes, Sirui/Manfrotto/Benro Sticks

Re: Sunrise Seascape - Sat 9th AprilThat looks to be the halfway mark and the sun is rising.
Didnt make it to the Canyon?
Re: Sunrise Seascape - Sat 9th AprilPlenty of green weed for you as well by the looks.
![]() I like the foreground colours. Regards Colin

Re: Sunrise Seascape - Sat 9th April
No we made it to the canyon - however the sky (nor the tides) didn't really play very nice. I would however like to go back there again sometime (with higher water and cloudy colourful skies) - I wouldn't mind more predawn (and even) light in the blowhole area itself either - wonder if you get that at certain times of the year or do you have to wait for a very cloudy morning with the light coming more from above?
