Hi all,
I’m a self employed Carpenter/Builder and most would say from the hours that I work that I’m semi retired although that’s not quite the case.
I live in Melbourne which is located on Port Philip Bay a 1930 sq kilometre body of water with a very narrow entrance to the ocean.
In the middle of Winter last year I had a job to do on a property right on the bay. I took a few photos that day, to maybe get a bit of sympathy for the hard work I do !!
At smoko I took these from the house the first one is looking towards the north and then towards the south.
During lunch I strolled through their rear gate and took these.
Mid afternoon I said stuff it to the boss (me) and then strolled a 150 metres down the beach to take these.
The last one is from the job again to show you how the house related to Port Phillip Bay.
It's a tough life sometimes, but some ones gotta do it Ha!
On a forum here in Oz I posted what you have just read when I got home that night, this next part I again posted to that forum the very next night, for this is what I saw that day.
Hi everyone,
The work site that I took those bayside photos from yesterday was in Chelsea, a suburb of Melbourne that is found south east from the CBD and maybe a third of the way down Port Phillip Bay. I live in the northern suburbs so it's a bit of a drive to get there so as I do most mornings I left home in total darkness. (Middle of July here is smack dead in the middle of Winter) As dawn approached the sky looked as though it had a potential for a nice sunrise. As I got closer to the bay the sky lit up and I looked for a spot to pullover where I could get a silhouette for some photos and this is what I saw.
When ever I photograph sunsets or sunrises I try to get different interpretations on it by taking a few photos from different spots.
I'll try to get branches to the top or a trunk to give the photo that little bit of oomph.
Move around a subject, maybe shoot from a lower angle, you will be surprised the differences that you will get from the one tree and the one sunrise.
A couple more shots of the famous Chelsea Pier before I got stuck into work.
I hope you got some enjoyment from this post, and no there is no need to feel sorry for me for having to work in such trying conditions at such a site Ha!
Col.

The worst day above ground, is a whole lot better than the best one under it. Live life to the fullest while you can.
