Photo-Chop

It’s always interesting hearing feedback on my photography. Sometimes you’ve got to be thick skinned, especially when someone walks into one of our galleries and goes “Aw, it’s all photoshopped, the skies can’t possibly be that pink…” pointing at a Bondi sunrise shot on the wall. Well today, I dedicate this post to the non-believers. Today the sky lit up – bright pink at 6:30 am. I am talking one of the most vivid, saturated sunrises I’ve seen. The water was a pinky purple…it was incredible. It stopped commuter traffic on Campbell Parade. I hope you saw it!

It was very brief though and returned to muted greys in minutes. The sunrises on the East Coast of Australia can be mind-blowing. Today was quite exceptional. I kinda wish I wasn’t swimming when it blew up pink – a tripod and selection of lenses would have done this stunning morning more justice.

The pumping swells of late last week have chilled. I really hope your arms are sore from paddling.

Have a great day,:: uge

  1. When I opened the curtains in my son’s bedroom this morning about 6.30 and saw the amazing mauve sunrise I thought: ‘Eugene’s gonna get some great shots this morning.’ Don’t worry about the cynics, critics and armchair experts mate, you have many fans out here.

  2. Stunning shots. Wish I lived by the sea, but I still enjoyed the pink sunrise in the suburbs.
