10 September 2017, At sea near Maria Island, Tasmania
Wineglass Bay Sail Walk Day 4
.
(Click on any of these images to see them larger if you want).
.
We sailed north this morning on a fine clear day and a glassy sea.
.
A glassy sea implies no wind so we would have been powered by the engine.
.
I’m sitting on the bow here, looking back.
.
I was impressed by the patterns in the wake at the side of the ketch.
.
And I’m picking off selections with a very long lens.
.
An interesting mixture of the sharp and real and the abstract and dreamy.
.
Submersed in the magic of nature…
.
Ethereal boundaries and transitions…
.
.
Probably these conditions didn’t last long as we steamed out of a sheltered anchorage.
.
All these images were taken within less than eight minutes.

What’s “very long”?? And you can tell me in e-mail what weed was active. 🙂
Yes….dreamy images.

They’re all 600mm equivalent. And no weed.

Love these images and have spent untold hours myself trying to get similar off various boats. A very worthwhile 8 minutes 🙂

Sometimes it all just comes together. A very long lens and my perspective on the bow was probably key in this instance.

I’ve never tried it with a long lens, hopefully I’ll remember that next time 🙂

It depends what you see and how you see it but you really want a simple abstract composition so unless you’re very close to the water, a long lens can help achieve separation.

Awesome abstract water compositions!
