South Curl Curl Rock Pool - Feb11

Two rock pools in two weekends - I am on a roll! I loved this one, but the drive was fairly substantial (50 kms round trip).

The sodium lights create the rich orange hue. Some photographers do not like it, but it resonates with me. The light changed substantially during the one-hour shoot and there were plenty of people down there. I had a swim afterwards - a great pool and excellent for doing laps.

Dawn Fraser Rock Pool - Feb11

Finally I have resumed my rock pool project of the beautiful rock pools scattered about the NSW coastline! What had stalled the project was the fact I gave away my basic graduated filter kit. I therefore had committed myself to buying the Cokin Z-Pro series graduated filter kit.

However they were next to impossible to get hold of. Global stock was non existent. I randomly checked at an online Sydney store a couple of weeks ago and - woo-hoo - they were in stock! I snapped up a set and am now resuming my project with much enthusiasm.

So....my first early morning trip involved photographing the Dawn Fraser Rock Pool which is located at Elkington Park in Balmain. The pool is one of the oldest pools in Sydney, built in 1880.

Cookie Chilling at Home - Feb12

It was about time for another photo shoot. Cookie is growing up so fast. She now weighs over 8kg - these shots were taken about 10 days ago and I am sure she has grown a fair bit since then!
