Comments appreciated.

Cheers,

i prefer the 4th one (under the jetty). The symmetry and the jetty disappearing into the horizon is just superb

Yeah, me too. Top stuff.

Im echoing the same voice...


2nd shot has a cool 3d effect on the sand/rocks too


Great job there

Yep, the last shot looks very unique! Excellent stuff.

4th one is a real Eye catcher!

Nice work Owen. #2 for the debris and #4 for the lovely symmetry are my picks.

The second one is my fav! Brilliant, love the shells.

I did a similar thing when I was in Adelaide and loved to photographed their jettys....this is my best one......

I tried to pick out a favourite of the 4, but couldn;t separate them, they're superb! Come and photograph Coffs Jetty sometime please! Max.

All nice images Owen.

Other than the slight horizon slant in the last image, i will likewise echo the comments of the others and say the symmetry is excellent.

Thanks for sharing.

If you had posted these separately they would have all been thought of as stunners! Well done Owen. If I had to pick I'd go with #3 then #4.
Cheers, Mick  BTW it says 5 ways and I only see 4?? Did you lose one??

Hey guys, thanks for all the kind comments. Steve, I only realised the horizon was crooked when i was at work today... I could have sworn that I had straightened it! Maybe I tilted my head instead...

The 5th image isn't appearing because I just linked to it at the end... I had already posted it in another thread and didn't want to break the 4 images rule

Stormygirl I really like your shot with the rays at the end of the pier. Which one was that? This one at glenelg was the only one I got to.

Thanks again everyone.

Cheers,
Owen.

Brilliant images, love them all. So clean and crisp.
Nice sunset for it too, it would not have looked anywhere as good with clouds in it.
I am a noob so I don't know what u use. Is that a 10-20mm?

Hi Owen, The one I photographed was at Semaphore Beach. I did go to Glenelg as well, but they certainly aren't as dramatic as yours.....and it was in the middle of the day . It was freezing when I went to Semaphore, the wind was blowing sand above and across the jetty and the waves were crashing. I was extremely lucky with the sun rays!

Most of the shots were with the Tokina 12-24... 1 or two of them might have been with the 18-70mm kit lens.

Yeah, despite the great weather we've had on the eastern side of the country, Glenelg was very, very cold.... We didn't take any warm clothes either!

I really liked image 3 and 4.

It always seems to be blowing a gale, when we lived in Adelaide and went to Glenelg. Something to do with being close to the ocean I suppose

wow good shots! i can imagine you running around with your tripod seeing as the sun sets rather quickly, haha....

funny enough, i love the #1. i will going to Adelaide for my friend's wedding in a couple of weeks, might try to take some shots like that!
