Holiday at Martins Bay NZ capture the light

On holiday in Queensland, came across this beautiful Church in a beautiful setting at a Vinyard.

Just though i'd try a faster shutter speed, Seagull

The fascination on this outcrop of rocks is they were all put here by the people of Maungawhai to seperate the Surf Beach from the Bar

What more could I ask for these birds marched across my picture perfectly spaced

First Sunrise shots I have done since my interest in photography has become my most enjoyable way to spend my holidays and weekends. Taken Maungawhai

A day at beautiful Hamilton Gardens New Zealand

Behind The Lens

Location

I was on holiday iat Martins Bay on the Warkworth Peninsular, New Zealand, my brother and wife have had a Bach here which has been in the family for many years. This was as the sun started to drop after a beautiful day and I was taken by the beautiful light on the rocks.

Time

This was taken around 6.00pm as the sun dropped behind the hill behind me.

Lighting

I wanted to slow the movement of the water down to get that smooth water look and used a polariser lens to achieve a slower shutter speed.

Equipment

I use a Canon 7D Mark II, Tripod, polariser.

Inspiration

Just the love of my new found hobby and the joy of seeing so much more than I ever have before in regards to the beauty of light, reflection, and the different qualities if light at different times of the day. I was reading a book on the Bach deck when I looked up and noticed the richness of the reflection of light on these rocks.

Editing

I cannot be sure, I may have tweaked the exposure, or the shadows but I am not so good at Lightroom so probably minimal post processing done.

In my camera bag

I always have my Canon 7D my kit lens 18-135mm and my 50mm Prime, Rapid Strap which I love, tripod, ND filter and a polariser as I love taking water shots.

Feedback

I seem to be the one always looking for advice as I am very new at this. But just get out there and do what makes you happy if you see something you like the look of, then try to capture the moment.
