Hi guys
Better late than never, finally getting around to publishing more of my shots from the May month of conjunctions.
These set are from Bateau Bay Beach - it was a crisp and clear morning. Too clear. Not a cloud in the sky brought with it some pretty plain colours (all different shades of blue
) and the foreground scenes just weren't as interesting as I'd hoped they'd be.
I also found my headlamp had flat batteries so stumbled around in the dark stepping in puddles trying to find an interesting foreground scene before it got too light.
In the end I had to settle with some reflections and ripples in the sand, but overall I'm not overly happy with these. They captured the scene I was presented with that morning, but I was hoping for more.
The last image doesn't feature the conjunction, but some of the ripples. I wished I'd had a wider lens.

Thanks for looking.
