Yallingup WA Photo

Photographer’s Note

Following a boozy few hours at the local pub the previous day, watching the AFL Grand Final, I 'sobered up' with my soulmate, the ocean, here at Canal Rocks, Yallingup, in Western Australia's SW corner. Just a few kilometres south of this point lies Cape Leeuwin, where the waters of the Indian Ocean (seen here) meet with those of the Southern Ocean.

Hi Jeff.

So simple and so nice.
Also it's a pleasure see the large version of the photo.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi Jeff,
I like the different colours in the water, the range of blue's is wonderful, over here on the East coast we don't get that deep blue unless you are some miles out to sea, in the tropical current.
Nice POV and composition, the foreground rocks contrast well against the ocean.
I'm surprised you could still focus, even the next day.
Regards
Peter

Hi Jeff,

Excellent color and shutter speed choice on that water. I really like the choice for panorama format too.

Cheers!

Great shot Jeff,
I disagree with Peter re the deep blues on the east coast but you got this one well with great colours and a fast shutter speed that have frozen the waves.
Regards
Ian

Hi Jeff
Wonderful colour and detail in the foreground rocks mixed with that beautiful blue of the ocean, well presented as a panorama, great work.
