“Sunrise at Govett’s Leap: Capturing the Majestic Beauty of the Blue Mountains in Blackheath”
There’s something deeply rewarding about waking up before dawn, especially as a landscape photographer. On this particular morning, I headed out from Blackheath before first light, hoping to capture the sunrise over Govett’s Leap, one of the most iconic lookouts in the Blue Mountains. It had rained overnight, and the air was thick with fog as I made my way through the sleepy town. There’s a stillness at this hour that makes every step feel like a quiet prelude to something extraordinary — a feeling landscape photographers know all too well.
