The sky was heavy with bright blue clouds, and they didn’t seem to be moving.
Reviewing the radar, I decided a drive to the ocean beach side of the land was in order.
Number 16 Beach on the ocean side, is quite close to us. You would remember from the 4th December, that this is where ‘Dragon’s Head’ is located. This is a beautiful spot, but, there is a bit of a walk from the car park, through the dunes to get to the beach, and the steps are in need of repair work, especially the last, which is a good foot off the sand. And, talking about the sand, it is very heavy to walk through. The sort where every step you take your feet sinks into the depths, and you have to pull your foot out to prepare for the next step.…
Photo Tip: Again, with the use of a tripod, I was able to venture into Manual mode. I set the exposure time at about 15 seconds, and I adjusted the aperture setting up and down a bit to adjust the amount of light showing on the pictures. The longer exposure changes the waves smashing onto the beach and rocks, into a smooth flowing image. A long exposure time can also add character and blur to fast moving clouds. Unfortunately these ones weren’t really moving tonight.
