Week #47 – Camp Quaranup – Part 2

It always amazes me how pictures turn out when you photograph at night.  To the naked eye, there is little colour in the scenery but the camera sees very differently. These images were taken under the reflected light of a crescent moon at Camp Quaranup.  Colours that aren’t normally apparent are recorded in subtle ways. The old whaling wreck, the Cheynes II, is cast in deep shades of ochre set against a moody sky.  Stars can be seen as a backdrop to the stone-built powder magazine that stands sentinel over Geake Point and was once used to house ammunition for Albany’s wartime defences.  My favourite, though, is the last image of the old tramway jetty and the golden colour of the moonlight on the water.
