light, photography, sky, vastness, water
I am always amazed at how long it takes me to think things over and ‘see’ the bleeding obvious! I suppose I should be used to it by now but it still takes me by surprise. So when looking back through some of my favourite images and trying to put adjectives to them that I could then use in future images, why was I so surprised to find – isolation, light, sparseness or minimalism, detail or close up, vastness and ICM?
Light and vastness.

I love the effect of a slow shutter speed on fast moving water particularly as here where it hits a rock in the middle of the creek.

With all the rain we had last week, Purgatory Creek was flowing freely and creating all sorts of lovely little waterfalls and splashes and eddies for me to photograph.
My raging little creek, it’s actually not that small but not that big either 🙂

Fijis’ answer to NZ’s Wanaka Tree. This tree is growing in the ocean on the eastern side of Suva, Viti Levu.
I took the liberty of adding the egret from another shot of the tree (it seemed to like to roost there) and played with this shot in PS to keep it light and blue. It was actually a grey sunrise 😦

Reflections as we head across the water towards Ba Landing on Viti Levu.
The calm waters were enticing people to fish further out to sea and the beautiful day helped also.

The hibiscus flower from yesterday’s post ended up being photographed in the small crystal clear shore break in front of my burre. It took me many, many images to get close to what I was trying for but now I’ve studied them more I need to go back and try again 🙂 It might be a few years before I do but I’ve got a better idea of how it will work. Lots of the better shots below to show you what I was trying to get before the hibiscus flower became too damaged. This idea was sparked by a cover image Marie Kova created for the TEDX talks in Fiji this year and one of our group on the Fiji Road Trip – see previous posts.

I spent a lot of time photographing the water while on Leleuvia Island, as you tend to on a Pacific island surrounded by water 🙂

A palm tree, sand and crystal clear aqua water, it’s what we all dream of in a tropical island.

The Sigatoka Sand Dunes NP is one of only a handful of national parks in Fiji and the first one created in 1987 to protect a unique natural and cultural heritage site. Shards of pottery from the Lapita people are being uncovered here, some of the oldest in the Pacific region at approx. 2600 years ago.

I couldn’t resist this one – what most people think of in a tropical island holiday! Water, coconuts and a boat.
