Friendly Beaches...again

Postby Mickeymoo » Fri 18 Feb, 2011 11:15 am

Ok well as some of you may have noticed I love the Friendly Beaches as I have posted numerous photos in the past! and while not strictly bushwalking they are in a National Park :) so I thought I'd put a few up that I got on my recent trip up there around Aus Day, where I spent 4 days up there relaxing. The light was a little ordinary for the Friendly Beaches, as was the tide (tip: low tide and small swell is not good at the Friendly beaches for compositions) with two dud sunrises, but I was rewarded for the early starts on the last morning with a magic sunrise and good swell to help combat the low tide!

LOL. I feel so unworthy to own a camera after seeing that. Wonderful!

+ 1. My best ever shot doesn't even come close to your worst Michael. And you never have any bad ones! Lovely work. :)

Agreed!!
Beautiful as ever. I love how you just know there's some editing going on, but it's so subtle and friendly looking you cant quite tell what.
Nothing to see here.

Ditto for me, I especially love the sand dune shot, I can feel the cool sand scrunching underneath my bare feet, smell the salt in the air and feel the cool morning air against my face!

I use Singh Ray filters, I have found them to be very good and well worth the money, with minimal colour casts and good scratch resistance, which comes in handy when wiping salt water off them!!
