I was the only person here and it was fabulous and what a sky!
A cloudy but gorgeous morning at Fingal.
F 04 Fingal Sand Pumping jetty
I have always wanted to shoot this jetty so when the opportunity arose I grabbed it. What a fabulous morning, it was supposed to be a shocking morning with a predicted "major rain event" but it held off until around 10am giving us a good excuse to do some long exposures to capture the cloud movement.
A reverse sunset at Fingal Beach. This old tree stump made for an interesting focus point.

Fingal Sand Pumping jetty
A cloudy but beautiful sunrise at Fingal. I was so glad I got to capture this one.
This was taken on at the sand pumping jetty at Fingal. It was supposed to be a very wet morning but luckily for me it held off until later in the day.
Fingal Head in Northern New South Wales is so beautiful and certainly not an easy spot to photograph! I struggle to tackle the dark rocks in contrast to the brightness of the new day, any hints would be great appreciated. Canon 5Dmark iii The columnar basalt lava flow at Fingal Head extends underwater to Cook Island (named after Lieutenant James Cook who explored the east coast of Australia in 1770). The lava is thought to have come from the prehistoric Tweed Volcano and is known as "Lismore Basalt"; predominantly tholeiitic with occasional alkaline types. This unit is stratigraphically equivalent to the Beechmount Basalt in Queensland. The jointing, clearly evident at Fingal Head is caused by contraction: as lava cools from the outside toward the centre, shrinkage cracks develop, usually forming hexagonal patterns (the shape of the columns is attributed to tensional stress). These columns are vertical because the lava cools from top to bottom when the flow of lava is horizontal. www.geomaps.com.au/scripts/finglehead.php
