One of the great things about living in the Pilbara is the lifestyle. This Easter weekend, my husband and I went kayaking again, once more to Conzinc Bay. Now, reaching your destination at 10:30 in the morning may not seem like such a big deal. But once you have a swim, a bit of a fish and a chill out on the beach, the next thing you know it's nearly midday and you haven't taken any photos!
I did however manage to test out the wide angle with the polarisor this time, so that was pretty nifty. Except I discovered two things - one, that because of the extreme wide angle of 10mm and the high sun, it produced many flares in my lens. This was corrected in photoshop with a little bit of cloning, but still it's rather a pain. The second thing I noticed is that I have dust on my mirror, which I will need to fix somehow.
Any way, below are some of the photos taken that celebrate the glorious day and being alive!
I love the first image below because of the fish. One of the marvelous things about a polarisor is the reduction of glare in the water, so you can see things like these guys! They were fantastic though, every now and then they would be spooked and leap from the water in unison. Fantastic.

Of course, all of these photos have been edited in Adobe RAW in Photoshop. The white balance has been warmed, vibrance and saturation increased and some of the horizons corrected.

The fish make an appearance below once more! This photo has actually been copped to remove a large clump of weed and its shadow that got in the way...

My conclusion? The wide angle is fantastic at the beach, even at midday. I always long for the day we can camp on the beach so as to utilize the sunrise and sunset. It would be magical.
