Gold Coast Photos

11 Aug
2009

I mentioned in my first post that I had intended to share some photos. I’ll start with 3 photos which I had taken earlier on the year. Both photos are taken on the Gold Coast, QLD using my Canon 50D. I haven’t played with it too much, and in both occasions (beach & building) was my first attempts at using a tripod to take some long exposures.

My favourite is the third photo (portrait of the beach, where you can see a dogs foot prints in the sand). Just click on the photos if you want to see a larger view of them.


Update:

I forgot to mention that the photo of the building was meant to capture “Earth Hour”, a before and after which I thought the community would get behind. The reason why there isn’t a after photo (during) is that nothing changed. More about Earth Hour – here

Hey Jason,
I live on the Gold Coast :) best place to live in the world. Did you go up to Q1 Observation Deck? It’s expensive but so worth it. Anyways, nice to see you’ve been blogging like mad.

On this occasion I didn’t. I’ve gone up there once before and it was crazy seeing a helicopter fly across the beach (which was closer to the ground than I was). Must be a bit of a trip to get to QUT.

Hi Jason,
These pictures are really cool, I just got my canon 50d and am still learning how to use it. would you be able to tell us the lens you used to take these shots?

Hi Murux,

This was with the 18-200 Kit Lens which you could get with the 50D. Photos were on a tripod and it ranged from around 5 – 15 seconds exposure from memory.

I believe the EXIF details should be on the photos, if you wanted to find out more details.
