Photo of the Week

28/12/07
Stanley, Northwest coast, Tasmania, AUSTRALIA

I like to call the northwest coast of Tasmania, the forgotten coast. I have never seen another photographer in these parts. Any photos tend to be postcards of Stanley, quite a lovely town. Published serious landscape photographs are scant; I haven't seen any myself.

This was taken some 1/2 hour before sunrise. I noticed numerous cotton wool clouds on the horizon. In the windy conditions I hoped a long exposure to streak the clouds across the horizon. 78 seconds later, I received my answer.

Canon 5D, 16-35mm 2.8L, 3 stop hard ND grad, ISO 50, f16, shutter 78s
