Elephant Rocks II

Posted by DarkElf (Perth, Australia) on 1 February 2009 in Landscape & Rural.

a slightly different angle on the same area as last shot... i could honestly stand there all day to photograph this amazing place and could post the photos here endlessly... i have one more coming up next time and then we will move along the coast to the east...

welcome to my photoblog and thanks for visiting... my aim is to learn photography and share my experiences with you, not only through my attempts at photography, but also through showing different aspects of the world that have caught my interest over the time that i have been walking this planet... hope you enjoy the journey with me...

As I said earlier.... they look like marching elephants. Like that scene from Dead Man's Chest... emerging out of sea.

Une image qui donne envie de s'asseoir là et de laisser la vague bercer notre imaginaire.

Awesome place - I love the formation and colors with these rocks. have you tried shooting here at dusk or dawn - bet it would have an etherial look and feel. Great job!

Must admit, these rocks intrigue me . . I can figure them out but there is still a lingering mystery which I like . .

These Elephant Rocks are great--would love to shoot them. You requested feedback so here goes: You have a good sense of composition, so my first suggestion would be to try them in better light (warm early morning or late afternoon). Also, be aware of your camera settings. This image would be sharper if you'd have stopped down a bit. There's no need to shoot at ISO 200 and f4 when you're at 1/400 and 24mm--ISO 100, f8, and 1/50 would have given you the same exposure but a sharper and (slightly) less noisy image. Thanks for sharing--you've given me another location to add to my "must visit" list.
