Work was off the other morning due to high winds so I headed down the coast.

Nice shots, like the first two :) (wish the 2nd was bigger though). A great looking bird too..

I really like these Steve...the Tern is a cracking image...so sharp I almost cut myself....

Very nice Steve. What gear did you use to do the job?

#1 and #2 are great. Good use of DOF in #1 as already mentioned and great use of lines and space in #2 (and a well chosen crop). #3 though just lacks punch. I think the problem is there isn't a strong focal point so my eye flips between the skyline and waves, but doesn't really get stuck anywhere (if that makes any sense)

Bob,
they were all taken with my D200. The Tern was using a 70-200VR@ 135mm f6.3, the Wavebreak Island pano was using a 10.5 fish eye and the Burleigh shot was using a 12-24 @24mm.

Bindii,
this is the area that has been sugested for the AW get together. Lots of variety of subjects .

I would be intersted in some comments about the composition of #3 if anyone is keen. It does and doesn't work for me but I can pin down what it is that doesn't work

Thanks Peter,
I know what you mean. It is a great outlook but I just don't seem to be able to capture it (yet!!!)

With more wild weather around Sydney and roaring westerlies is Brisvegas later this week I might get a chance at a reshoot :roll:

1 and 2 for me. Depth of field in one and the calmness in two
