Back from Esperance

Had some fantastic light in Esperance and shot everyday I was there. Came back through the Stirling Ranges and had more good light. Got up this morning at 4.50am to position myself for anything cool. It was looking so good but just as the light was getting interesting the low cloud moved in and shut the whole place down. I was a bit disappointed especially after it looking so promising. I did a lot of experimenting this week and stacked the nd grads with the nd to do some real long exposures. I basically had the whole place to myself except for stalker morning. I left the campsite early one morning and noticed the headlights of a car follow me out. I drove for about 15 kms and decided to stop in a small turnout in the road to let him go past. What happened, he pulled right in behind me and stopped. So here I am in the dark in my car in the middle of virtually know where and this guy had to park next to me. I sat there thinking what is this guy doing. After a minute I started the car and drove off and on to the beach still in darkness. Good I thought, at least I know where he is. I stopped the car and got out thinking this is going to be good. Next minute here comes my mate driving up behind me again. I thought it was getting too weird so I turned the car towards his and drove at him at speed so pissed off he intimidated me this way. I am sure it was nothing but I was not going to stick around to find out. I was annoyed with myself and the fact I missed an opportunity, may need to get a big stick to warn other photographers or nut jobs off my locations!! Maybe I’m the nut job :-)
