165: Fun on the dunes

Day 2 on Moreton Island and we were up for some fun on the sand dunes. These towering sandhills rise almost 50 meters up from the beach in a very steep incline. With burning calves we made our way to the top for a relaxing chill out and an amazing view. It was also amusing watching some of the braver kids try and toboggan down the slope on their boogie boards. One or 2 got up to an impressive speed but mostly it just resulted in a face full of sand. Once we were ready to head down and shot off first to get a good position lower down and capture the boys mid leap and run down the hill. I was super happy with this photograph of Michael. Full of action, sunlight and bright sky it pretty much sums up an awesome weekend!

164: Oh beautiful sunset

I feel like I say this at least once a month but here's another one to throw into the bag of favourites so far. Moreton Island has certainly delivered! We were treated to the most stunning beach sunset this evening. Our party took a bit of a stroll down the beach and along the way I had plenty of opportunities to capture different moments of the sun going down. The light it creates is just beautiful. Together these photos would make a lovely series. But this one I love because it's not just any old silhouette against a sunset. My friend Reuben actually has some pretty big stretchers in his ears and I noticed as he was walking towards me that it would make for a fabulous shot with the light captured through the holes in his profile.
