45:330:241

The passage of time is inconsequential.

45 minutes sleep. 330km travelled. 241 second exposure. 1 epic evening/morning/mission.

The night started at 10:30pm on Thursday night, when I lay down for some sleep, after a restless 45 minutes I awoke/stumbled out of bed and jumped in the car, ready for my Friday to start. 2 hours later, via the Caboolture service centre to pick up Kane, we were meeting Mel at Dicky Beach on the Sunshine Coast. Our goal was simple, the addition of 4 day old full moon and a shipwreck on a clear beach at 1:30am, is an unmissable occasion. The near full moon provides an amazing amount of light, and allows you to capture locations like these as most people would never see them.

The part I love most about the beach at these times of night is that the tides have come and gone; yesterdays comings and goings have been washed away and the beach is clean and clear. Ready for photographers to come in and create their particular brand of art.

It's such a free feeling.

You've got to be there to get the shot.
