Sunrise outing: August 19th
Kiama- Shellharbour Camera Club outing on Sunday 19th August proved a challenge for even the most intrepid photographers. Despite the pre-dawn downpour, nineteen people arrived for breakfast at the entrance to Lake Illawarra near Windang Island. Although the thorough research indicated that astronomical twilight would begin at 5:08 am, nautical twilight at 5:37am, civil twilight at 6:07am with the sun finally rising at 6:32, there was no evidence to those attending that this occurred. Instead all enjoyed a hearty breakfast and good company.
The rain did hold off long enough for the group to wander across to the island with macro photography the order of the day, provided you had an umbrella and a keen assistant.
Thanks to all who attended and assisted to make this an enjoyable day. If you have photos to share from the day, please send them to Gerry and Brian.
