I woke up this morning hoping that we’d have a nice blue sky and white fluffy clouds, but unfortunately that was not the case; their were a few too many clouds. I still made my way down to Burleigh Heads, one of my favourite spots on the Gold Coast, to shoot. It had been ages since I’d shot a beach scene in broad daylight, which is the reason I was keen to get out there even though the conditions weren’t as I had hoped. Usually, I like to shoot longer exposures once it starts to get a bit darker, or while the colours are bright orange or red.

This five photo panoramic stitch was my favourite of the morning. Once again, I’ve processed it in color and as a black and white image. I’d like your opinions on if you think the colour or black and white version is better.

The woman in the centre of this image asked me if she could take my photo as she walked by. She must have thought I was some kind of famous photographer! ;)
