I woke up at 4am just for this occasion: To take photos before and after sunrise at Coogee Beach. My buddy picked me up and arrived at Coogee around 5.30am today. It was refreshing to feel the sense of calm and quietness along the beach. Seagulls dotting the whole beach as they sleep.

Anyways, here are some photos I would like to share.

Black Silk




Cliff House



Red and Blue



Red Rockpool



The Edge



-------------------------------

I told my friend that i went to Coogee 5.30am in the morning just to take photos. They called me an idiot. It's something as an amateur photographer want to do, take photos before and after sunset at a beach.

It is a great feeling to be up at the crack of dawn and capture scenes that are impossible during the day. Red Rockpool and The Edge stand out as being very emotive photographs - the loneliness speaks volumes and your captures are very good. My only critique would be to clone out the ship in both pics to give an even more isolated look.

really like 'the edge'... great capture.

cheers

Nice shots mate, would you believe I live just around the corner and have my own very similar shots at around the same time.

Are you planning on printing and framing any?

Its certainly one of the best times of the day there, especially with the D70 followed by a dip then coffee!

I reckon the Cliff house shot was taken at 635 though

Black silk is my favorite

Keep up the good work

Red rock Pool for me, great shot, have a coffee for me, I'll do my swimming at Coffs 24 C water temp

2nd last one for me. Love em!

Nexxus

they are all great!
i like black silk the best too...

if i may critique a bit tho, the horizon seems a bit tilted to me, and i think if the fisherman was moved in a bit to put him in one of the Thirds intersections it might look a bit more balanced....

but still, as is, i love this image!

Really like Black Silk, I find that one very inspiring... One image cropped or did you take a couple and join?

You can get some amazing images just before sunset, these are great...

Red Rockpool is my favorite.

But they are all great.

Thanks everyone.

I did have a coffee before the photoshoot. The only shop that was open that time was a Pie Shop. Ate a very nice Cheese bacon pie with cuppacino. Yum!

One of the best pie ever.

Hehe.

These are nice shots Nexxus,

I have swam in that rock pool many o times, It's nice to capture it around that time of day before the onslaught arrives.

Mic.

Love the first one! What are the chances of getting an enlarged copy!?

I love the B&W pics. There's a lot of interest in them. THey are dark and moody. Very nicely captured.

Anybody who gets up that early to take pics is my hero!
