HOW I DID IT

Getting up before dawn and travelling

to a special spot needs serious

motivation. Once you’re there with

camera in hand all those sleepy eyes

are long gone. I got the tide just on full

which meant tripod (and me) deep in

water just as the sun rose over Mona

Vale pool in Sydney.

As the tide rushed in and steadying

the camera and tripod I fitted a couple

of lee filters to my camera. At that

time of the morning a lone swimmer

walked the length of the pool before

diving into winter water. Ah! The

power of the ocean.

TECHNICAL DETAILS

Sony a6500, 10-18mm Sony lens,

1/2s @ f5.6, ISO 100. .3 and .6 Lee ND

filters. Adjustments in Lightroom.
