Early Blow 26th October 2012

It was windy early today. The cooling southerly arrived overnight. It’s around 20 knots which means you’ll need to seek protected corners.

I went to the South Bra corner, which was ok. Blake was out there tearing it to shreds, but not many good ones came through. Limited options today, Manly could be good with this East swell/south wind combo but I haven’t been over that side in ages…

The wind will stew up some south swell for the weekend – so Bondi should come back in favour.

If you coming out to see Sculptures by the Sea this weekend – drop by our gallery (151 Curlewis Street Bondi Beach – kinda right behind the big Bondi hotel).

      See SLy’s comment below…but not even 2.8. Just very long lens.

    @aidzz : Don’t see any tilt shift here, probably just a long range lens at a small aperture (ex : 200mm f/2.8). Effect you can reproduce with pretty much every fast lenses, but the wider the lens is, the closer you’ll have to be to the subject to get this blurry (bookeh) effect.
    Lightroom is great but the software doesn’t take the pictures…focus more on the gear rather than the computer part :)
