Hi Crew,
This is a photo from my first morning in Esperance when I was there in May. Poor Neal had to drink a bottle of Red to help him sleep as Kirk and I apparently aren’t the quietest of sleepers. I don’t know what he meant as I didn’t hear anything! This is one of those sunrises that you just get lost in as you stand there in amazement, you have to remember to keep taking photos. After we’d had a few days of average light in the Stirling Ranges this sunrise was definitely a welcome sight. If you’ve never been to Esperance you should do, its a must for landscape photography, its such a beautiful and diverse place.
We revisited Twilight Cove a number of times over the next few days but nothing matched up to this sunrise, in fact it was probably the best one the whole trip. I remember after catching these photos walking away from the camera for a couple of minutes and just watching it unfold before me, dare I say it was almost a spiritual experience?
Have any of you guys ever grabbed a few photos and then stepped back and enjoyed the view and allowed yourself to be caught up in the moment?
Hope you enjoy the photo and as always comments are appreciated. 🙂
Thanks,
Jamie Paterson

Hi Stephen,
Much appreciated. It was certainly a magical morning. I think I might head off next weekend and start looking at some of those creeks around the hills.
Jamie
That looks like a beautiful morning! In situations like that I can get so caught up in taking photos I have to remind myself once in a while to stop for a few minutes and just take it all in, enjoy it.
Yep we have to enjoy the moment. The amount of times I get home look through my photos and think oh so that is what it looked like is crazy.
I know exactly what you mean mate…as a photographer I rarely see things happen. I have literally had a race rcar roll in front of me, not really seen it happen, yet have a 5 frame sequence that captures it!!
Awesome, awesome photo!!!
Hi Graham,
Exactly. I went to Truk Lagoon a few years ago and captured stacks of photos of the Japanese wrecks and halfway through the trip I realised I hadn’t actually seen anything. I left my camera behind for the remainder of the dives and saw so much.

Cracker Jamie!!
