Places: Bronte Beach, Australia
Solitude at the Beach
f/5.6, 1/800s, Nikon D80, Post Processed Velvia effect
When in Australia, one thing that you should do is to take advantage of the great outdoors.
I was out at the Eastern Beaches Coastal walk, doing the famous hike between Bondi and Coogee during the weekend, even though the usual Sydney sunshine wasn't always there to warm the chilly winds.
The walk takes one from Bondi through to Coogee through some nice beaches and great ocean views. This photo was taken at Bronte beach, when the sun peeked through the looming rains and gave me one of the few opportunities to take a decent photo.
I did some post processing to the photo - I used the channel mixer to try to create the Velvia effect. Velvia is a type of film from Fujifilm, famous for deeply saturated colors suitable for outdoor photos.
I think it would have been a lot nicer if the lady walked straight, instead of turning away from the surf at the last moment. And even better if she was walking along the surf, but on a cold day like yesterday, I don't blame her for turning back to the beach for a cold blanket !

Great pic, Moz.

Waaaaaaaaaaaa so niiiiiiice!!!! I think it's fine that she turned back, it's something quite unexpected, and to me that makes the photo more interesting :)
