The day Nudgee Beach said "Right. Lets do this!"
Still plumbing the depths of my archive of shots from last year. When I originally posted shots from this shoot I put up a pano but now I think I prefer this single frame image.

Place of ducks
Nudgee Beach. I'm fascinated by the swarms of little blue crabs around here at low tide, they avoid people incredibly well. If you get too close they burrow under the sand :)
I read today that the word 'Nudgee' is a corruption of the Aboriginal word meaning 'place of ducks'.

On the down-low
It feels like ages since I've been out to do a sunrise shoot and since there was a forecast break in the poor weather we've been having I couldn't pass up the opportunity to get out there.
I can't attach my camera to the tripod without the centre column inserted so there is a limit to how low to the ground I can get using it. I wanted to get REALLY low here so whipped out the trusty gorillapod so I could get a few cms off the ground. Had to kneel with my elbows in the sand and everything :)

Magic Kingdom
I used a ND filter and an aperture of f/22 so I could leave the shutter open longer and capture more explosions :)

Burleigh heads
Damn, those boulders make settling the tripod a challenge.

I've just opened this photo in IE using my work laptop and it looks terrible. Oversaturated and bands of colour in the sky. Let me know if you experience similar.
