FROZEN LIGHT ~ WILSONS GULLY TOWARDS VICTORIA PASS ~ MOUNT VICTORIA ~ BLUE MOUNTAINS ~ AUSTRALIA

I was out and about today in Blackheath and Mount Victoria again looking for property/land and as we left the final viewing in Mount Vic the sky started to turn. So in the freezing wind (it was snowing an hour earlier) I scrambled with heavy tripod onto the rocks just below Grand View & Victoria St and as the sunset clouds were blown towards me, I somehow managed to capture this wonderful long 30 second exposure. The title frozen light seems to sum up the magical but chilling experience.

“It’s astounding, Time is fleeting, Madness takes it’s toll…I’ve got to keep control. I remember doing the Time Warp. Drinking those moments when The blackness would hit me. Let’s do the Time Warp again.” Richard O’Brien, Rocky Horror Picture Show

GOTHIC SKY ~ WENTWORTH FALLS LAKE ~ BLUE MOUNTAINS ~ AUSTRALIA

I love playing with long exposures. Always on the lookout for clouds moving at 20-30km especially around sunrise or sunset to get those lovely warm streaks – like the hair of some vampiric lady. Combined with mirror like reflections on a dark moody lake and things get pretty scary.
