it's getting dark...

With so much beauty, light and colour in Australian sunsets - it is pretty strange even to me that I want to capture these same locations in darkness with minimal or no colour. 

A few months ago in March, I was out shooting at Grange beach with a friend visiting from Queensland. Normally I leave the beach after last light but that night I stayed because I had company. I took a photograph at Grange jetty which had a 1 minute exposure and I loved it. The effect on the water was silky and the reflection of the jetty lights on the water looked amazing. 

This was the beginning of my fascination and love of long exposure and interest in photography as it's getting dark. 

18mm, 60 seconds, ISO 100, f/22, ND8.

Hi, I'm Bec :) You can also visit me & my work at Flickr - rbat75. 

In this blog, I will be sharing my photography, particularly my new project which will feature predominantly dark/black & white images.

I shoot with a Canon 450D and a range of different lenses, mostly Canon but there is a Tamron zoom lens in the mix also. 

While I enjoy shooting a range of things, my signature and passion is landscape photography. When you live in a place as beautiful as Adelaide in South Australia, it is hard not to be a little obsessed with beachscapes in particular.

Hopefully as my project progresses, I will expand to include portraiture, cityscapes and street photography. It will be a challenge to leave coloured scapes behind but an exciting journey for me to take.
