Well, thanks to PeterR I learned how to get to the beach via public transport,

I got down there about nine am here a the photos (please comment)

Hi Brad,
Just a few little tips & pointers:

1. Some of the photos are backlit. Best way to fix that would be to photograph from the mound in the morning (up until about 12-1pm) & the afternoon from the beach. If your looking into the sun, chances are most of the photos will turn out backlit.

2. The photo/horizon is unlevel. Quick straighten in Adobe Photoshop or the like will fix that.

3. Maybe a quick edit (crop, brightness & sharpen) will make your photos that little bit more appealing to people who view them before you upload any more on here next .

Any questions, feel free to PM me.
Aerolineas havent been to Sydney the past few days!! Maybe a result of the ash cloud??

Jayden

Hey Brad.

I dont know if you have photo editing software, but I added some contrast and leveling into one of your shots and here is a quick example of the outcome. You can really see how it brings out the natural colour in the tail and along the rocks.

I also note you have taken shots in front of the fence, I try to fit the camera lens (digital camera or SLR) as close as I can to the fence hole, to avoid the barbed wire look.

Also, with so many white planes around, when you do get there on a bright sunny day, do all your shooting early or late in the day to stop the whites from blowing out.

Yup I've noticed that my after 12:00pm photos are way better then my pre 12:00pm photos, security didn't seem at all annoyed of me taking shots near the fence, maybe cause i'm just a kid
