After sunrise at Bronte beach we had quite a bit of cloud coming in leading to fairly overcast skies – it was time to switch to BigStopper (10 Stop ND) mode and try some long exposures.
Note: These images (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger – so click any of the images below to see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer.
