Brendan Davey Photography

‘Boat Shed’ in Black and White, a photo by Brendan Davey on Flickr.

Although I have only been with my new employer for a relatively small period of time, I am enjoying myself, and the people that I work with are fantastic.

This Friday IMAS will be holding a quiz night to support the family of Ben Chuwen who recently passed away. In support of the evening I have donated this landscape to the silent auction.

The boat shed at Kelvedon Beach is a well known point of interest on the Tasmanian east coast, and should be very popular amongst the marine community.

Happy bidding

Aurora Australis, Lauderdale Beach, a photo by BrendanDavey on Flickr.

You can just make out the red “curtains” or ribbons above the green glow. It has been quite a while since I have seen one this good.

2012 is predicted to be a big year for sun spots. It will be interesting to see if there are any good Auroras next year.

Lauderdale Beach, Tasmania

Lauderdale Beach Tasmania #2

This morning I saw the best sunrise we have had for a few weeks, I’ve been waiting for just the right amount of cloud and light. I shot a few good shots, and could not decide which ones to upload. So I’ve uploaded 2.

I’m really missing my wide angle lens, but the 24-105mm is serving me well. It’s certainly not as sharp as my old 16-35mm. Most of the exposure were long in low light, so complete manual focus and no IS. At 24mm it’s not to bad, and you can still fit a fair bit in the shot, but I’m really looking forward to my new 17-40mm. I could see myself with a 24mm TS-E in the future for sure.

Lauderdale Beach Tasmania

Ever had one of those mornings when you could not sleep? Decided to grab the camera and go somewhere local for a few shots?

Well that’s what I did this morning, not much of a sunrise, so I decided to change over to the 50mm f1.4 and shoot some portrait shots of some local pillars on Lauderdale Beach. I really need to get a 58mm to 77mm step up ring so I can use my filters on my 50mm, better exposure in the sky would have been nice. However the washed out sky does work well with the glamor filter in post. I’m hoping to capture the same shot soon with a good sunrise in the background.

Mayfield Bay Beach

Taken about 20 Km’s down the coast from Swansea on the Tasmanian east coast. I love the aqua blues. The water in this bay is amazingly clear. Tasmania is very photogenic.

This shot was taken at the Mayfield Bay Coastal Reserve, just south of Swansea on the Tasmanian East Coast.

The outlook from this beach stretches around to The Frecinet National Park.

This shot was taken direct from the Camera with no tripod or filtering. The shot was taken on a 40D Canon Camera. Using the 14bit sensor information I was able to turn this picture into a single shot HDR image.
