Shallow Inlet trilogy (2 of 3 consecutive posts)

Yesterday’s image offered a wide-angle perspective.

The photo was taken from a crouching position.

Today’s image is the fruit of a much longer lens – in “35 mm camera equivalent” terms, a 400 mm telephoto.

So, the magnication/telescopic factor is circa 15 times greater than in yesterday’s image, but with a correspondingly much smaller field of view.

I had turned my head a little to my right.

I think I was standing, fully upright.

My feet had in fact moved only a little closer to Shallow Inlet’s deeper waters.

Those waters – and the dunes which separate them from the Southern Ocean – are prominent in today’s image.

In this image two black swans are the only readily-evident fauna.

Tomorrow, you may be surprised when you see what was right in front of my feet!
