On the shoreline

Posted by Andrew Gould (Sydney, Australia) on 13 April 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

Taken today, Sunday, 13th of April 2008 at 4:09pm on the shoreline of Botany Bay in Sydney's Southern Suburbs.

It had been raining earlier in the afternoon, and was overcast when I arrived at the beach. Fortunately, the sun came shining through the clouds just before I took this, giving me very nice light. It made for a very satisfying end to my walk along the shore.

As usual in this type of situation, I used the long end of my Sigma 18-200mm f3.5-6.3 DC OS zoom, which gives the equivalent of 300mm in 35mm format. Some cropping done afterwards, too.

Thanks for visiting my pages. I welcome all comments and any constructive criticism.

Just returned last night from the trip to Northern Australia, during which I was hardly able to get online at all. Thanks for all the comments lately. It will take me a few days, but I'll catch up with return visits to your pages.
