Northern Beaches - a quiet place to take dawn snaps

[Sheila Smart]

Thanks all for inviting me. Thought I would post the very first thing I saw when I got out of my car on Dee Why Headland



and a snap of the rockpool fence



Even though vastly outnumbered by Nikons, I enjoyed the morning

Cheers
Sheila

Sheila, nice to meet you. You make the best use of lunch hours of anyone I know

[Onyx]

Sheila, it was an honour to meet you, and a pleasure to be in your company for the morning. We do hope to see you again at future meets.

You have an outstanding quality of work in your gallery, and I'm holding my breath to see more outstanding shots of yours from the morning.

Sheila

lovely and thoughtfully captured photos

[LittleB]

Sheila, very nice to meet you! I was anxious to see your pics because I wanted to see from what perspective you would take your photos this morning...and I love the two photos you posted.

Hope to see you again.

[Geoff]

Great having you along Sheila!!
Some great initial shots - looking forward to seeing more

[phillipb]

Great work as usual Sheila,
For some reason in the first photo, my eye keeps going back to that damned screen on the back of the unattanded camera. Find out who owns it and tell him/her to change the settings so that it goes off sooner.

first shot summaries our members well. Waking up early in the name of art and creativity.

Lovely shots Shelia, glad you could come along, I look forward to seeing what else you spotted on todays outing!

Perhaps we should have a lunchtime only meet around Circular Quay sometime ??

[Sheila Smart]

Thanks all. Here's another one from Sunday - sorry about it being another shot of the pool fence!




Cheers
Sheila PS - Craig. Would love to meet at lunchtime in the city (but not on Fridays as I don't work on that day - nor many other days either!!) Perhaps you can email me.

That image is excellent did you direct craig in that shot?

I work at he rocks near circular quay we can do lunch together

[Alpha_7]

Shelia,

Before I was into photography I had my lunch regularly at the quay. Now I'm in Pyrmont its harder to get in there, but if we book it in advance I'm sure I can do a lunchtime session (with Wendell too).

Wendell - No direction from me, I was just wondering back and forth etc... oblivious to being snapped by Sheila, but proud to have made it into such a nice shot!

Before i came here, i thought there were little people intested in photography in Australia

Great sunset shot ~

[MHD]

Geeze Shelia... cut it out would you....

Have a little humility for a newbie

(seriously stunning work... you would be doing them an injustice not printing them!)

Tyrone Tong,
Yes we're a small community overhere but we have a great passion in photography.

[myarhidia]

Some lovely work there Sheila.

I would like to see what the other people there at the same time shot. I think it would be interesting to see what different people with different techniques, styles, equipment, etc, etc captured.

Please note, I'm not trying to initiate some kind of contest / comparison (aka pissing contest), just curious to see the differences.

[drifter]

Sheila that last shot is excellent . I can't stop looking at it . The water and the sky are beautiful.
Was there much post production on that one ?

Very little PP. Maybe a little curves. I do shoot RAW which enables me to get away with little or no PP.
