Fashion should be fun and with my photography I love to create those fun moments.

Testing my new 400mm lens
it was the end of my 70-200m lens, so I got myself a new lens. PS. Even though I post this in 2021, these are from 2020. At the time, it felt in appropriate to post these during the pandemic
So just testing it out on different subject matters, like this Pelican in the afternoon ligtht at Careel Bay
or last rays of light coming through on a cresting wave
so it has been a bit quite the past few months since the country has gone into lockdown mode. Compared to Europe and the states we're doing fine, still have lots of freedom, but our borders are closed and looks like no international travel for the rest of the year

Full moon over Bilgola plateau
I'm pretty happy so far with my new purchase
early morning just before sunrise crashing waves, see-ing how the auto focus works
It's middle of June, the water must be freezing
first surfer out
bit of size
but a bit wonky
out the back
large pod of whales traveling north
you can clearly see the blows from the whales
nice light
but now I wish I had an 800mm :-)
loving the light
and the fact I'm able to witness these magnificent creatures swim past
old timer, not feeling the cold
crisp, clear and gold
timing
all about timing
lining up, time it right
jump the fence
and head out
life is good on the beaches
