Manly Beach Photos, Northern Beaches, Sydney, NSW

This was last nights sunset over Manly while I was out teaching my Northern Beaches Day Course. The sunset to the left was great, but there wasnt much of a composition shooting right into it. So this one is a panoramic stitch (8 images) going from South Steyne to Curl Curl Headland.

Sort of hoped the nice light would have filtered through more making the shot more of a keeper, but this one is off to the stock site.

Loving Summer at Manly Beach

Now this is summer… !! Running my second day of Northern Beaches Day Courses due to demand at this time of year.

The beaches were packed as they should be, every man and his dog trying to get some relief from the heat, but apparently the water is still quite cold.

Really getting into shooting more day time images for the site. For me this cloud combination is perfection so a few more days like this over the coming months would be fantastic.

Glorious Queenscliff Beach – Manly Photography Course

This was a beautiful sunset to watch come to life as I stood there with my students who were capturing for the first time a sunset where everything is controlled and perfect. The look on their faces is what teaching is all about as they see the results on their LCD display from the workflow and technique I taught them over the day.

Shot over Queenscliff Beach that is at the Northern end of Manly Beach. Panoramic stitch on the 5D MkII.

Thanks for an enjoyable day guys.

Further dates for my Northern Beaches Day Courses can be seen here for 2011 dates.

Manly Beach / Queenscliff Beach

Just a quick shot I snapped on sunset as I was teaching my landscape photography workshop on Manly Beach on Saturday (7th Nov). The north part of Manly Beach is sometimes referred to as Queenscliff Beach.

The sunset was beautiful but the back light gave us the perfect dynamic range and simple beautiful colour. It’s not all about shooting where the sun is setting.

The dark sand to the bottom left of the shot was from a Volley Ball game that left in perfect time so us photographers can have our fun.
