Last Saturday evening I went down to Half Moon Bay near Sorrento in Victoria to take a few photographs of the days sunset. The bay is about a 2.5 Km walk from the car park and it is a quiet secluded beach surrounded by sandstone cliffs. Standing on one of the rock platforms watching the sunset I grabbed this shot just as the sun touched the horizon.
However while this was going on, to my left and behind me, the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks I was standing on seemed to be getting louder and louder. I put the camera onto burst mode turned around and took the following shots.
This first one is of one of the waves as it just hits the rocks.
Then eight seconds later this is the next shot and before I knew it both the tripod and I were up to our ankles in seawater.
This continued on and off while I was taking my photos of the sunset and made for a wet walk back to the car in the dark. But it was worth it, I came away with a good shot of the sunset and had a blast as well!
