Thank you ImSo, these were taken a few years ago but I just got around to process them.. I think for the leaves this year I'm gonna switch gears and order some color neg film, some Ektar 100 w/ the C-41 chem kit from Adarama .. Should be a brilliant fall here but not quite yet

Alexn! Three fabulous surf and rocks pictures in a row. The location is actually Tea Tree Bay with Dolphin Point the jutting cape in the background. Granite Bay is the next beach beyond Dolphin Point. These locations are in Noosa, Australia where I moved in order to have these landscape treasures close at hand.

Alexn you are absolutely right about the spectacular properties of a 65mm lens when well used on a deep landscape. I've tried my Nikkor-SW 65mm f4 at these same locations but never with such stunning results.

Thanks Maris, I wasn't sure if I had ventured far enough around to be in Granite bay or not unfortunately, I arrived at Noosa Heads at about 4:20am, it was still quite dark.. I went off the basic locality map at the entrance, and walked up and past the boiling pot then down and around the next small headland, Looking at the map now, yes you are right it was Tea Tree Bay... Beautiful location it is too. I found composition a little difficult down there as it seems everywhere you look is a "Good" scene, but finding a stand out beautiful scene that will work as a photograph is quite tricky... In the end I found the only way to make the 65mm really work for me (especially for that first shot) was to get down low to the water, and accept the fact that I was going to be driving home very wet.

I ended up wet to just above my waist making that first image, although I was in shallow water the camera was only 30cm above the surge of the waterline.... Very tense when you're under a dark cloth and can't see the next set of waves

Thanks again for your comments and correction on the location Maris.
