Description
Cockle Creek Calm, Bobbin Head, NSW
I had really ‘got out’ of taking photos. Have to admit. Last year had wound its tortuous course, and I found myself not checking forecasts or really taking any interest in getting out with camera in hand.
Come the Christmas break, the sun sets at the far south of its arc, and there are some images as a landscape photographer you know will only work for a couple of weeks. I looked at PhotoPills and decided I really needed to give a sunset here at Bobbin Head a go, near the lovely boardwalk – I was actually after pre-sundown light rather than anything else.
And I got it wrong.
The sun set nowhere near where I thought it would and way to the right behind a very high ridge. So I perched above Cockle Creek and waited, and waited, and waited. That’s what landscape photography is all about, isn’t it? And then….. this. It reminded me of why I need to get out more.
This was the very last of the images I took (bracketed of course) and it was really quite dark.
