Reeds Reflection

]]>I took this shot in Penrith Lakes, not far from my home. In an early morning, just before the sun broke the horizon, the sky dramatically changed its color. It was a great moment to capture this perfect reflection.

Let Me Shine

]]>This is my favorite tree located in Werrington South campus of University of Western Sydney. This photo was taken in an evening. With exposure time 1377 seconds (23 minutes), some star trails mixed with cloud movement were captured over the lone tree. Since the moon was hung up in the sky behind my camera, the moon light made the tree shining too. The warm color presented here was caused by artificial lights near by. A 2-stop GND (soft) was used in the up-side-down manner to reduce the city light below the horizon.

The Touch

]]>This lone tree in my campus alway attracts me. I once imagined some special cloud formation occurred just above this tree. It finally arrived in this winter. The lighting-shaped cloud was just amazing while stars were still visible on the top.

Reeds in the Rain

]]>In a late afternoon, I came to Penrith Lakes, where I made the picture "Reeds Reflection" a year ago. Just in a sudden, it started raining. Under the protection of umbrella for my camera, I took this shot.

Golden Ripples

]]>In Cottlesole Beach, I found these interesting patterns constantly appeared when waves washed onto the beach. Under the strong sun light, the ripples were shining...
