Worth Casing Wednesday
If you have a blog post worth casing this week, words, wordless and everything else in between this is the place to link up. We are always looking for new blogs to ‘case’!
Are you Worth Casing?
I thought this week it was high time I introduced you to not only my local beach but a new series we have coming up here on AMC…. ‘Summer Loving at Scarborough Beach‘.
I’m rather fortunate to live 3 minutes from this amazing beach. It’s quite often my daily walk destination and a place our family spends a lot of time over summer.
The Amphitheater with the sun setting over the Indian Ocean is the perfect location for all manner of events. The summer lineup will certainly keep everyone in my family entertained, starting with (for me) the latest event, Summerset Arts Festival 2015 which kicks off with Carnivalesque this Friday.
It’s going to be the perfect event to test my new Sony Xperia phone and it’s 20.7 mega pixel rear camera. I took it for a test run the other evening because a lot of the events coming up that I’m wanting to ‘case’ are on sunset or after dark.
With so many features packed into this phone I’m thinking I may need more than a few lessons. It’s also on the super skinny but rather large side for me having upgraded from what now feels like a tiny but bulky iPhone 4s.
The top cover photo was taken using the Sweep Panorama feature where basically you sweep the phone from left to right slowly to get a panoramic photo. Here are a few more photos taken on the phone, resized because they were massive but other than that unedited.
I completely failed after dark as I didn’t spend any time investigating the features before heading out but I did manage to grab a photo for this week’s guess the mystery object:
Can you guess what this is?
WORTH CASING WEDNESDAY LINK UP
Any tips for night-time photos, either on the phone or using a DSLR?
I am so jealous of that weather especially today that we have rain and wind.
It’s far too hot for my liking. Would love a bit of rain to cool things off.
How nice! I could walk to the beach from my childhood home, but now we’re about a 15 minute drive.
We see glimpses of the ocean from our house. I love it.
That is so cool. I want to visit.
Please do! Would love to meet you.
That looks like a beautiful beach! I am getting tired of the long cold winter and ready for spring and summer. Have a terrific afternoon!
I’m longing for winter, a very mild winter mind you.
That is an interesting tree!!!
There are a lot of interesting trees at the beach but I think I’m going to have to hit the beach at 4am to get any real shots because there are always so many people in the way.
I must admit that I am rather jealous because you live so close to that gorgeous beach. My most favorite place in the whole world is the beach. It is where I am completely at peace with the world. Please stop by and link-up with us at the Oh My Heartsie Girls Wordless Wednesday Link Party.
Wishing you an amazing week!

Heading over to linkup now. Thanks for stopping by Lysa.
You are welcome! xx
What a nice beach it’s blinking freezing here 🙂
I could jump in the freezer right about now, it’s too hot for my liking.
That beach is awesome! I liked the markets too but they seemed to have been mostly closed the last time I visited about 3 years ago..
Oh gosh, not the markets upstairs in the old building? They are/were hideous. The Fremantle markets are worth casing. I’m really hoping someone does something about the old markets at the beach. We do have lots of on the beach style events and some have started included markets, but more pop up style. It would be nice to see something like the Fremantle ones permanently at Scarborough.
Also, next time you visit, please look me up. Would love to meet you.
I didn’t even know about the Arts Festival, how long is it running? I may have to check it out 🙂 Thanks for the tip! Oh, and I have zero idea about the Mystery Object!
Blog post coming soon. You can click on the link above which will give you the full program. There is so much on at the moment, that I’m wondering how I will fit so much in. Really looking forward to Friday night.
Great shots and the sunlight at the beach is just so lovely. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to you too Jody. I really wish I’d taken my camera as well but ultimately I was trying to get some exercise in, case the dance event and test out the camera phone.
Thanks for the images, I recently got a new phone and have yet to really try out the camera!
What phone did you end up getting David? I’m loving the Sony but after having the iPhone for so long it’s taking a lot of time to get use to all the different settings.
We have a Scarborough beach here in QLD too and its my go to beach, but unfortunately I live half an hour away. I wish I lived close enough to walk there each day. I have no idea what the mystery object is???
We should do a beach swap Toni. LOL There is a little clue on Instagram regarding the mystery object. Something I posted over the weekend.
Great shots, the beach loos so appealing to me, I so need a vacation some place nice and relaxing.
We are having a STAYcation this year to save money as we are still relatively new to Perth, I still feel like a tourist and being so close to the beach definitely helps.
It’s funny cause the beach in our Scarborough looks nothing like this. Great captures!
Thanks Diana. I really must remember to drag the camera with me and head down early in the morning and grab some shots down on the beach.
What a lovely place to live. It’s always fun exploring and getting used to a new phone. maybe for night you can get a mini tripod to reduce camera shake and blur and esp with your DSLR as you can use a slower shutter speed. Jx
A mini tripod is a great tip. Hubby gave me a selfie stick for Christmas, which I haven’t actually used, if only I could take it back and swap for a mini tripod.
Lovely shots – I loved spending time at the beach when I visited Perth . . . I reckon it’s about time I went back!
Please come back and look me up when you do. I would love to meet you.
That sounds great, I would love to!
Great shots! I love seeing what people can do with a phone camera. Really incredible.
I think if I knew what I was doing and I took some time to investigate all the features and settings on my camera phone they would be so much better.
Enjoy the beach for those of us who live in then Northern Hemisphere! 🙂
Received your email. I was only just thinking about you when it arrived. Will email you soon.
That’s so nice to stay near such a lovely beach. I normally take photo without flash for camera phone as the pictures would be “nicer” that way.
Pretty sure I had the flash off but the camera phone is still so new to me. I have an event tomorrow night, so I may need a crash course.
I think I have decided I want to live by the beach!!!!
And I have no idea what that is in the mystery picture (except the water bottle?!)
Apart from the first five years of my life and one brief stint in my twenties I’ve always lived near the beach. I tend to take it for granted.
Looks like a fun beach! Thanks for linking up at OMHG WW this week!
Love a good WW linky. Thanks for popping over Alyssa.
How lucky you are to live so close to this. And I have no idea – very mysteriious!
I know, I was actually starting to take it for granted. I must get around to sharing the mystery object on Instagram.
I’m in love with your beach! Take me there! 😉
Happy Wordless Wednesday!
Thanks Jessica.
Oh that beach looks insanely fabulous. as for the guess… is it a chair leg? xx
Not a chair leg. I must get around to sharing the photo on Instagram.
That looks so great! Thanks for sharing this on Oh My Heartsie Girl link party. I added a link!
Thanks Nikki.
