North Narrabeen Pool
This image was taken before dawn down at North Narrabeen Rock Pool. This is one of the largest rock pools in Australia.
This image was a 3 minute exposure which captures a lovely blurring of the clouds. The interesting colours of the water are due to overhead lighting on the pool.
This is a very simple but peaceful image.
For those that want to find out how I produced this, I described my processing in detail in one of my blog posts You can read it here

Love it.
Nigel Roulston
This is a great image. The stillness of the water against the movement in the clouds and the light foreground moving away to a darker background make for a very interesting experience.
I really appreciate you explaining how you took it as well. It gives those of us with less experience (or in my case experience and imagination!) some ideas to try – although I’m not too sure about the whole “before dawn” part of the exercise.
Cindy Perrinj...
