These photos were taken while recently on holidays in Busselton.
Busselton is home to the longest wooden jetty in the Southern Hemisphere, and apparently the 2km-long jetty is one of the most photographed man-made structures in Western Australia.
The photos below are not of this famous jetty. They are of a small jetty that is approximately 100m east of the famous jetty. I'm sure this small jetty isn't way as popular with the photographers, but the colours and lines appealed to me.
These photos were taken about 20 minutes before sunset. I love that time of the day, as the shadows are very long, highlighting the texture of any object the sun is shining across. The sunlight is a lovely golden warm colour, so it's no wonder that photographers refer to this time as the golden hour.
I also took a photo from the same location in portrait mode, but I prefer the landscape version above, rather than the portrait version shown below.
Which do you prefer? Feel free to leave a comment below with your feedback.
