Smiths Beach Resort, South Western Australia

I just completed a shoot for Smiths Beach Resort in the fabulous South West of Western Australia.  This is in the Margaret River wine region which in my past life as a winemaker have spend many great seasons.  The coastline and beaches are some of the best in the world and we wanted to showcase the beauty and colour of the area for one of the best holiday destinations  in the area.  We gave the Canon 5DmkIII a good run and used a Lastolite sunfire 2x1m reflector which provided a lovely skin glow.

Noosa Sunset

A Noosa Beach sunset - this shot was taken along the point towards the popular surf break in the national park.  There is a little bit of HDR in this, but it is mostly a combination of 0.6s exposures to capture the movement of the surf.

Canon 5DmkII ISO100 f/5,  EF16-35mm L f/2.8 II @ 35mm various exposures from 0.6s to 10s.

Orpheus II

This is my favourite image captured at Orpheus Is.  We hiked over the island pre-dawn through the dense rain-forest for about an hour and a half to get to this beach.  The track was steep and frequently diverted due to fallen trees from Cyclone Yasi.  I was scouting around the beach when I saw the sun breaking through - a mad scramble to setup the tripod and capture a series of images.
