Hey everyone, hubby and I went this morning. Wow it gets crowded!
I'm glad I was organised and got there a bit earlier as I had to fight for my sunrise spot. Well not fight but got my spot and didn't move hahaha!
I went yesterday at around 0630 and it wasn't too bad. We should be ok on the 20th given it's a dawn shoot, last year most people had no problem getting a park at Tamarama, so I think we should start there again this year.
If you haven't been yet but would like a preview of some of the sculptures I've uploaded some of my shots from yesterday here : http://www.flickr.com/photos/crouchy...7628113227974/
IMHO this year is a vast improvement on last year, there seems to be many more interesting sculptures on display. A few of them would look good in the early morning light.
Holy crap! Those Images are just brilliant! I wish I knew how to do hdr.
I missed ALOT of the sculptures. I don't know the area well so I just hung around where the tap was and then up to the zebras.
Mine are just awful, feel like deleting the whole lot after seeing those.
Fabulous work!!
Thanks Danielle, glad you liked them. A good tip is to buy one of the programs, they have an excellent map of the exhibition and shows where all the sculptures are. I still didn't see it all, there's a lot to see this year.
So it seems a few of you have already done the Sculptures. How many of you are attending - I don't want to go if I am going to be the only one going in? It's a long and expensive trip for me.
I am going on the 20th. I normally head down there 3 or 4 times every year at different times of the day/night.
Cheers

Olympus Pen F with Metabones Speed Booster and Laowa 12mm f/2.8 or Voigtlander 10.5mm f/0.95 or Nikon D800 with the Laowa 12mm f/2.8. The need to keep in touch with the past is a Nikon Photomic FTn or Nikon F2A and a Nikkor 25-50mm f/4 AI
Yep still going, hoping for a good sky.

Jo should be a goer too.
I was thinking of around 4:45am in Mackenzies Bay (first bay to the north of Tamarama). For those that cannot make 4:45, whatever is close enough.
Sunrise is at 5:40 but nautical twilight is at 4:39 so the sky will be starting to brighten.
There are a variety of sculptures you can shoot the sun coming up behind or go down to the rocks in Mackenzies Bay. High tide is at 4:18 am so the rock-shelf at Tamarama is out of the question and we did that last year anyway.
I plan on being there at about 0500, starting at the Tamarama end - there's one scuplture I want to shoot that's in Mackenzie Bay so I'll see you there. Narelle did you want a lift ? If so you'll need to be at my place at 0430.
