Bee on the Tea Tree.

Leptospermums have numerous and beautiful, though quite small flowers.

A bee attends to the pollen on small, 5 petalled flowers.  The petals are white with palle pinkish centres and stamens.  Blurry forest background in greens and browns.

A long exposure sunset photo.  The lower half is darker glassy water in the foreground, with pale pink streaks where wavelets catch the light.  Intermediate to distant waters are wind affected, changing the surface colour to a pale grey blue.  Land lays in silhouette across the water.  A brilliant orange sunght glows in a thin line on the horizon, low darker cloud cover above.

By the Sea.

Macro tubes on the Jupyter 37A 135mm to get up close and personal with some everyday beach things.

#photography #nature #VintageLens #jupyter37a #macro

A faded seashell lies in the sand in this macro photo.  It's a spiral shape with the tip pointing over our right shoulder, the tip itself has eroded away revealing a nacre pattern.  The pattern on the shell is comporised of a zebra-like, zigzagging stripe arrangement, alternating darker brown to pale off white.A bright red gum leaf lays on the sand, surrounded by pieces of bark, seaweed and shells, all dull by comparison to the vivid leaf.A dried seaweed structure lays on it's side away from camera, it's hollow base part where the stem snapped, part filled with sand.  Short brown roots radiate outwards.  Soft focus with macro tubes and this subject.A white, downy feather fills the width of the frame, lying on it's side.  The top edge filaments are neatly separated, highlighting the down along their length.  Decaying leaves and seaweed debris on the ground beneath, contrasting the whiteness of the feather.

Gulls on the Rocks.

Blue hour at Connellys Marsh.

#photography #coastal #BlueHour #VintageLens #jupyter37a

View over water, with a rocky shoreline extending from left to middle out to a point. The bay curving behind before tree lined hills appear in the distance several kilometres away.  The shutter speed is deliberately slow - 3 seconds in the early evening light - which smooths the water surface.  Two seagulls stand on a rock facing the camera at mid lower right.  The light is eerie - grey blue sky and lighter water surface against the darker landscape.

Flotsam* on the Shoreline.

Susans Bay.

In Emergency. Break Glass.

Small waves at Susans Bay.

Zoom view of a very small wave breaking, whitewater at the left turning into a glassy green half tube as it rolls forward, still forming at right.  Sky blue reflects from the waters behind, scattered whitewash in front.

Dead tree branches reach upwards into a surreal blue background, darkened in the early evening.  Sunlight illiuminates the tree brightly against the background sky.A Pacific Gull glides overhead at left, sunlight glowing from the front of it's wings.  It's almost directly above the camera, flying towards the upper left, feet tucked together under it's tail feathers.

After the wombat moved on, I saw an interesting circular lichen pattern, and found some fungi sprouting from a patch of moss.

Thanks to @silverdory for posting some nice pics, I now know what they are.

Wildflowers in the Dark.

Oops had some dust on the sensor after a lens swap.

High pass filter can fix that. :)

A plant stem with groups of flowers in black and white.  The image has been processed with a high pass filter, the result is a smooth grey with the outline of the plant, including leaf veins and stems, in higher contrast.

Moon peeping through patchy clouds.

I see this colour halo often enough, but catching it on the sensor isn't always easy. To get the colour means a completely over exposed moon most of the time - unless it's just in the right place behind the clouds.

#photography #moon #VintageLens #jupyter37a

A night sky filled with dark clouds, a full moon colouring them in a faint orange halo, whiter towards the moon.  The clouds are patchy and abstract, creating random shapes of orange, black and dark grey.

Lime Bay State Reserve in the late afternoon, seen from across Norfolk Bay.

The white speck on the horizon at middle left is a weather radar tower, some 26km/16mi away.

#photography #coastline #VintageLens #jupyter37a

Tree covered hills with low sandstone cliffs seen from across a large bay, more distant hlls behind. A low afternoon sun tinges the nearer headland a golden yellow against the hazier distant horizon.  A cornflower blue sky with some fluffy white clouds.  The sea surface is calm, rippled.
