Bondi Beach

.Longshanks.

No real story other than I bring my Fuji x100 everywhere, including the beach. Some of these have been in the random thread but I thought I'd group them into a set/thread.
All edited in lightroom 3 with a B&W preset I created. The first was simply a test shot using the incamera auto-stitch, but i'm a sucker for panoramic landscapes so its included too for context.

I'm not saying B&W is bad, but might colour have been better for beach shots, especially the panorama?

3 & 5 are amazing. I'm heading to OZ in January(Sydney as well) seeing these pictures now have made so much more excited.

I lived in Bondi for a lot of years so seeing it in black and white is new and refreshing - thanks )))

Ha! I knew somebody would come up with a comment like that! I was in two minds about taking it and then about posting it. But I think it works in context. Sur isn't the beach full of topless stunners lovely women anyways :pac:

We'll have to arrange something when I get over there. Go shooting or something.
