Shot this at Bilgola beach last weekend.
First round of the current competition.
Makes you feel kind of un-fit and un-healthy watching these guys/girls in the surf.
But hey, I was carrying my camera, thats my type of exercise...!!!!!!

Hey ozczecho,
I was standing about 10 foot from the waters edge and using a 70-200 lens.
I am considering trying to sell a print to the Steyne in Manly.
Although as I dont drink alcohol, if they offered me free beer for a year it wouldn't be a good deal for me...!!!!!

Can I ask which one? I am in the market for one and am considering all my options.

Hey ozczecho,
it's a 'cough, cough'......Canon 70-200L
Sorry but its not for your D70.
But ask the other Nikon guys here, they will give great advice.

Hey Geoff,
I live in Queenscliff.
I would definately be interested in a mini-meet soon.
Drop me an email and we can arrange something.
I can't get any more lens lust right now, I just bought two Canon L lens in the last couple of weeks (ouch).

That's a premium shot Marty,

And it's curious to note that it also contains that Master Foods American Mustard colour you are so famous for.

Cheers,
