I like them very much, they "put me there".

Nice one mate!

I live a bit further down the drag in Brisbane but I know the Sunshine Coast well.
I have to admit that I like Cooloola and Great Sandy National Park for my photographic endevours myself however your images may tempt me further south.

marvellous.
whats the setup mate ?

[francois]

It's a great set of coastal photos. The light is exquisite!

Bravo…

[sdwilsonsct]

Really strong work. Thanks for posting!

[Hyper_Vistas]

Thanks guys!

Setup is Canon 7d with Tokina 11-16mm, and rickety tripod.

Sorry the third photo is from Rainbow Beach north of Noosa and not Caloundra.

Tony I was up at Rainbow Beach during the xmas period, absolutely stunning region. Perfect for photography.

Now back home in Melbourne, but daydreaming about my next push up north.....

Oooh! I love UW perspective landscapes. They are all beautiful, and #1 is particularly striking - I think the cliff-hanging plant just tops off a grand composition.

[wolfnowl]

All good work.  With #2 I'm a bit uncertain about the cliff face.  I'm not sure if it needs to be darkened a bit to make it more of a silhouette or lightened a bit to bring it into the scene, but it's just sort of skulking about in the shadows as it is.

#3 -- why do the shadow and the sun seem to both be on the same side of the log?

[wolfnowl]

Not the OP, Scott, but it looks to me like the driftwood is pointing almost straight at a very low sun, hence the shadow on the left from the curve at the top and a narrow band of shadow on the bottom right.

Mike.

[Hyper_Vistas]

Yes that is correct, the sun has just risen over the horizon and was very low in sky.
