I’ve been meaning to get down to Wellington Point again for a sunrise… but just hadn’t got around to it… Finally this weekend I got a chance – and after a false start on Saturday morning (too many clouds)… Sunday turned out to be OK… Not the prettiest sunrise – but definitely worth the effort of getting up at 4:45 in the morning…
Byron Bay Weekend – April 2014
The weather this week has been pretty amazing, so we decided (last minute) to head down to Byron bay for the weekend. We were very late in booking accommodation, but managed to stumble across an incredible house to stay – in the foothills overlooking Byron Bay called The Summerhouse.
The Summerhouse has a fantastic outlook over the Byron Bay area and is just screaming “photo opportunity”…(look out for a separate post for The Summerhouse soon). I had great plans to capture some amazing sunset shots (no clouds = boring sunset), some fantastic Star Trails (cloud cover = no stars) and some stunning sunrise shots (band of clouds on the horizon = limited colour)…. however despite these little setbacks we had an awesome time and I managed to get some shots that I am very happy with (and some decent timelapses which I am still working on).
