Fingal Head Causeway at Sunrise
by Rodney Campbell on Jul.03, 2020, under Photography
I’d researched a few locations before coming up to Tweed Heads and one promising looking location was nearby Fingal Head
It was a quick 15 minute drive from where we were staying in Tweed Heads so I decided I’d do at least one sunrise session whilst here on holidays with the family
The Finger
NIKON Z 7 + NIKKOR Z 14-30mm f/4 S @ 14 mm, 62 sec at f/8, ISO 200
Note: These photographs (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger. To see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer click any of the images.
As is almost always the case the clouds were essentially missing before sunrise. We had to make do with some nice pastels instead
The causeway with it’s interesting hexagonal basalt columns are the main drawcard here at Fingal Head. Along with Cook Island in the background

Creating interesting compositions including both the causeway and Cook island is a little tricky here. Also fraught with the danger of being waved (which has happened to me a few times before)
Thankfully no accidents this morning. It was however an opportunity to make use of the 14mm end of my Nikon 14-30/4 lens along with my non vignetting NiSi filter holder kit
