Making of Mona Vale Pool

Tuesday, January 24th, 2012

I got a few questions regarding my Mona Vale Pool processing and I uploaded this 10minute video to show you.
There was another shot that I wanted to process from the same morning, so I caught two birds with one stone and recorded the processing which was very similar to the previous one.
Anyway here it is. I hope you find it useful.

Mona Vale Pool

Thursday, January 19th, 2012

The other morning I went out with some photography friends to shoot the pool at Mona Vale at Sydney’s Northern Beaches.

It was raining heavily during the night, and we were all very excited when we met at 5am. Stormy mornings make for some of my most favourite conditions to shoot in. It produces the most atmospheric images in my opinion.
Well here is one of the shots I came back with. I do enjoy symmetry in the photo, but not exact symmetry. Therefore I intentionally did not clone out the pole at the left.
