Elizabeth Quay Bridge

Canon EOS 50D, 10-22mm @10mm, 109 sec, f/10, ISO100

On Friday night I headed out to Elizabeth Quay with Chris, for some long exposure photography. Elizabeth Quay opened to the public a few weeks ago, and neither of us had visited it yet, so we were keen to see what it looked like at night.

It didn't disappoint - there's a giant illuminated artwork that runs around the entire inlet called "Lighting Edge" that varies in colour, and the bridge across the inlet is lit up nicely too.
Here's a selection of my photos from Friday.

A beautiful male Scarlet Robin, photographed while holidaying in Pemberton earlier this year. We were staying in a house on the outskirts of the Pemberton town, surrounded by native trees and fruit trees. There were plenty of birds in the trees, and this particular photo was taken while seated on one of the verandahs of the house, where I waited for the birds to come closer to be photographed.

Zoe at golden hour

The evening sun during golden hour provides great lighting for portrait photography, due to the lower angle of sunlight, as well as the golden colour of the light. On this particular day, while recently holidaying in Pemberton with friends, the cloud cover in the west during golden hour diffused the sunlight, providing fantastic lighting for some portraits.
Facing Zoe (friends' daughter) towards the setting sun provided some great lighting on her face, and she was happy to pose for the camera, hugging one of the veranda posts.
