This is one of those “oops” photos when I realised I had left the ISO up at 1600 from the night before. Funny how I always do that on a cruise: I did it on the way to Rottnest and I did it on the way to Alcatraz. Luckily I realised a lot sooner on the way to Rottnest than I did on the way to Alcatraz… I still like this photo, even if it is a bit grainer than it needs to be.
It’s looking out to the south side of the Swan River in Perth.

Excellent photo. I love how the buildings reflect off the water. Looking forward to more of your photos.
And your OOPS photo turned out to be a WOW photo too :D
Good to see your work. I’m jealous for the seascapes you have at hand.
Try one day a similar picture at f8, ISO 200, ND8 or NDX400 filter, tripod… and play with shutter speed to get a proper exposure. The effect could be dramatic.
Thanks for the suggestion Mihai ;-) Unfortunately I live on the other side of the country to where this shot was taken, but if I go back there I will keep it in mind.
