Yep, another Sydney rock pool. Hey guys, I have barely started.
I went out with 2 others to photograph this pool and the surrounding rocks this morning. We set out almost an hour before first light. The others didn't want to photograph the pool due to the dreadful sodium vapour lighting but I perservered and my trusty Olympus E-P1 and M.Zuiko 9-18mm lens left their Canon and Nikon cameras for dead (well that's my story).
Both shots are at the 9mm end of the lens and both for 25 seconds. The first is at f/8 and ISO100. I wanted to maximise the depth of field and get the stainless steel railing in focus so the second shot was at f/11 and ISO200.
The funny backbone shape in the pool in the second image is a woman swiming. Note the temperature was 6 degrees C and it was the coldest day of the year (it is our winter). I could have cloned her out but she was a lot gamer than me. I had my very thick coat on. a wool cap and wool scarf. My fingers were freezing and I was cursing Manfrotto for not fitting leg warmers to my tripod.
