    Smoke over Pelican

    Some photos from Pelican a couple of days ago. The smoke from the recent bush fires was very thick and almost looked like fog. It made for some interesting shots. Photos © CJ Levinson 2019

  • Squid’s Ink Jetty

    Squid’s Ink Jetty

    Some photos from Squid’s Ink jetty in Belmont last night. It was a really beautiful, vibrant sunset and the dusk seemed to last for a long time afterwards as well, with the lovely hues intermingling with the clouds. The clouds were moving quite quickly so I tried a couple of quite long exposures (over three…
