Terrigal sunrise, last day of May

 Sunrise on my early morning walk today, last day of May. Winter officially starts tomorrow but it feels as if it is already here.

Fish and Chip Co, Terrigal Beach.

Sunrise reflections in Fish and Chip Co, Terrigal at 7.02am. A beautiful sunrise but cold with a biting wind.

Three Vietnamese girls

 No new photo today but an oldie from way back in 2000. Three Vietnamese girls cycling home from school, or more likely work, late afternoon in Hoi An, Vietnam.

Sobering to think that these girls are close to middle age now and Hoi An has changed totally and sadly not for the better.

The photo was taken on Fuji Velvia slide film with a Canon EOS camera fitted with an f2.8 70-200mm lens.  I was riding in the back of a ute- pick up truck-which did duty as a taxi.

Unusually quiet at 9.10am on the Esplanade at Terrigal Beach today, 22nd May. Not surprising given the cold temperature and the biting wind.

On the beach

 Mother's Day, 14th May at N Avoca Beach. A typical winter's day -sunny but with a cold wind. A few families walking the beach and a few surfers trying to surf the small surf.

A new door

 

As part of the extensive renovations we've changed the back door. Here's the carpenter working on the new door on a very cold morning last Monday.

Room with a view

Went down to Sydney yesterday to see the Steve McCurry photo exhibition at the Wharf on Sydney Harbour. On the way out I saw this man enjoying the view through one of the windows of the Wharf shed.

It was taken with my Leica X1 which gives wonderful accurate colour rendition on the JPEG files but on this one I had to use the DNG file to get the detail out of the dark area in the foreground and the window had tinted glass which messed with the colour.

Smudge

A short walk on the Coastal Track

 A short walk on the Coastal Track north from Putty Beach on the Central Coast of NSW last week yielded a few photos. It was a windy and gloomy day but I will try and make it out to the same location on a really stormy day as I can see some excellent photo opportunities. For the photos below.I was using the Lumix S5 with the 16-35mm Lumix Pro lens.
