Sunrise above 1000 Surfboard Graveyard…
by Rodney Campbell on Dec.06, 2013, under Life, Photography
Just after sunrise I wanted to get above the beach and shoot down on the array of surfboards scattered across Garie beach as part of the 1000 Surfboard Graveyard, so I headed up the headland next to the beach.
Note: These photographs (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger – so click any of the images below to see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer.
Good fortune smiled upon us as a few minutes after sunrise the sun lit up the upper clouds in the sky and we had a fantastic display of bright pink clouds set against the blue sky.

Heading back down towards the beach, a bit over fifteen minutes after sunrise – pink clouds and pink god rays – couldn’t ask for much more really…

I was trying this little composition with this very nice looking driftwood log in the stream. Luckily Suren was unknowingly helping me out with my composition

Once the sun had cleared the clouds and was much higher in the sky we get interesting harder shadows and vapour mist in the air from the crashing swell
