100426_065021_8042 We Photographers Are A Crazy Breed (Mon 26 Apr 10)

Bondi Beach (Ben Buckler Headland), NSW

As if anyone needed convincing of that.

And this guy is shooting a Nikon, so ratchet that up by a few percent. 8^>

(But no, he wasn't taken out by the wave.)

Sigh, it's always a feast or famine when you PAD. I went on another photo trek to Bondi at dawn this morning. Memo to self; the wind chill coming off an ocean immediately before dawn is rather more extreme on a gusty day than we inlanders are used to. Wear a jacket and gloves next time. Also, it's good that you learnt from last time's experience and wore sandals instead of conventional shoes because you planned to head onto the beach. But since you didn't, you effectively got frosty feet for no reason. Maybe gumboots next time?

I got quite a few good candidates for the PAD from this session; some of the others will appear in my Bondi Gallery.

Yes, the extremes that some people go to get the perfect shot - which is probably why they do get it.

You've got a pretty good one here too with the crashing wave, the warm morning light and the
photographer adding human interest and scale.
