During a roadtrip around the southwest of Western Australia late last year, we visited Denmark, and had a look at Elephant Rocks. The name comes from the exposed rocks, which from some angles, look like elephants, particularly when viewed from the path above the rocks, as shown in the top photo.
All three photos in this post were taken with the help of my 10-stop B&W ND filter. The ND filter allows me to achieve much longer shutter speeds than normally possible during the day, by only allowing 0.1% of light through it.
The two photos below were taken from the beach just past the rocks (visible at the bottom left of the first photo). This sheltered beach is known as Elephant Cove, and is a very sheltered beach.
