"Long Jetty Storm" - Original Australian Acrylic Print

Description

“Long Jetty Storm” captures the haunting beauty of an approaching tempest over Tuggerah Lake on the NSW Central Coast. The iconic jetty stretches endlessly into the horizon, leading the viewer into a moody expanse of soft light and silver-toned water. With a minimalist colour palette, this image conveys atmosphere and calm — a quiet moment before nature unleashes its power.

📖 The Story Behind the Shot

Shot on my DJI Mavic 4 Pro Drone, this image was captured moments before the rain swept across the lake. I chose to retain only subtle natural tones to highlight the contrast between light and shadow, evoking a sense of stillness and depth. Long Jetty has always been a place of reflection, and on this day, it mirrored the emotion and energy of the sky perfectly.

🖼️ The Print

Each piece is professionally printed using museum-grade, archival metallic gloss paper with Epson archival inks, then face-mounted on premium Shinkolite acrylic. This process enhances clarity, contrast, and luminosity — making the storm clouds appear alive with texture. The artwork is completed with a PVC backing and timber moulding hanging system, ready to display as a modern centrepiece.

🌊 Why It Matters

“Long Jetty Storm” isn’t just a photograph — it’s a story of stillness before chaos, of connection to place and weather. It’s a reminder that beauty often lies in the quiet tension before the downpour, when the world pauses and light dances across the water. Perfect for collectors who appreciate mood, simplicity, and the drama of nature’s moments.
