Phillip Island Nobbies

On Saturday I took some photos at the Nobbies.  I showed the photos on my other blog, here.  I thought I would show some here as well, though, I wanted to see what they would be like if they were black and white.

Sometimes when you make images in just black and white in makes the viewer concentrate more on the mood, and you don't get distracted by the colours.  The ocean has many colours in it, but in these images I want you to look at the waves, because when we were there at the rocks, that is all we look at, the waves.

The sea was angry and the rocks were being pounded, over and over by the waves.  It is not very often you them like this.

The waves were huge, and every now and then one of them would go so much higher than any of the others.  This image works better in black and white because I found the corner in the left bottom too distracting.  It is all green, now you just look at the wave.  Well, I hope you do.

Wind surfers, must have been a great day for them  It was so wild.  I don't know how these guys were doing it.  They must have been having a lot of fun, but they must have been so cold as well.  I was freezing.  The wind was so chilly, felt like it was coming straight off the Antarctica, probably was.

Would you go wind surfing in this weather?

Photos at Phillip Island

Yesterday I went to Phillip Island to photograph some cycling that was happening on the Grand Prix Circuit.  Here are a couple of my favourites.

And.

It wasn't a great day for taking photos and not sure that the ones I've chosen are that great.  I did take a couple of the weather.

A very dark cloud was heading our way and we thought for sure it was going to bring a massive amount of rain, luckily, it went right over and rained somewhere else.  Well that one did.

Then it would all break up and the sun would come out.  Such strange weather.

An Instagram Field Trip

On the weekend while in Aireys Inlet one of the things I tried to remember to do was take photos with my phone and instagram.  I thought it would be fun to do and would let people who are friends with me on facebook get an idea where I was.  Of course I played with the filters.

A quick post today.  I had a very late night last night and I can’t think very well today.  I hope you like the weekend through the instagram camera on my phone.

I have put all the other photos from the weekend on my website, I have also included quite a few that I didn’t put up here, and I may add more to them as well.  If you would like to see the photos in galleries, then go to my website www.leannecole.com.au.

I am off to Philip Island tomorrow for a cycling event, and I hope to have a chance to get down to the beach to get some photos as well.  Enjoy your weekend, till tomorrow.
