Moreton Island Again

Posted on: 26 May 2008 at 05:10PM

There's so much good stuff for photography at Moreton Island. After my last trip, I wanted to get back there to get some more shots.

Over a weekend (arriving Friday night and leaving Sunday morning) you only really get two morning sessions and one evening session for photography. The middle of the day I use to find things that I might want to photograph at a later time when the light is good.

For my first morning session I visited my old friends the Bulwer Wrecks. My first photo looked quite nice on the small LCD screen on the back of my camera, but on closeer inspection it was out of focus and fuzzy.

The auto-focus on my camera was broken! Not a show stopper as I can manual focus although it's very difficult when it's almost dark. But why is my camera, not even 12 months old, broken? I guess I'll be taking it back to Nikon for repairs. I'll take my fuzzy photo with me and see if they can fix that too. Here's the fuzzy pic:

At least I got some others that are in focus:

After shooting the wrecks, I went over to the east side to see what I could find:

Cape Moreton has some very interesting terrain:

Then in the late afternoon I went to The Desert:

Some sand tobogganers walking along the ridge of the sand dude they'd been hurtling down cast a shadow for me:

Then I hurriedly got myself back to the wrecks for the last part of the sunset:

Early the next morning, I went over to Cape Moreton to see what it would look like in the dawn light.

The waves over there were massive. I didn't hang around there too long.

So there's a weekend at Moreton Island.
