Week 11 – Neilsen Park Sunset at 10 Stops

I find it hard to believe that this was my first visit to Neilsen Park… and what a location it is. I have attempted to go there a couple of times.. unfortunately they were all in summer when finding a park anywhere near or around Vaucluse is enough to kick in some hidden road rage tucked away in your personality. I get to thank my housemate Zee for taking me along here.. and we headed out this afternoon in the hope of catching a good spot for sunset overlooking the city. Unfortunate for Zee he did the old ‘leave my memory card plugged into the computer’ trick and wasnt able to shoot at all. None the less.. Neilsen Park has a beach… and a rocky foreshore.. and a tree lined path and lots of nice grass and well.. basically for someone who likes to take photos of people.. and Sydney.. I dont think you can go wrong.

As you can see from this shot it is perhaps a little too far from the city for shooting this wide as it doesnt have much of a presence or impact. I can see however the potential for some future sunsets at a longer focal length with the sun setting directly behind the city. Time to get out the prediction tools and plan a sunset again. Looking forward to head back.. maybe in spring when I can find a park and brave the water for a swim.

Till next time..
