Photo update

So I found I had a weekend fairly free. As I am fairly up to date at work I thought I'd go for a random drive, indulge in one of my hobbies and take some photos.
Heading off into the Waitakere hills I found the road to Bethells Beach. This is a fairly remote spot and is popular with surfers so I was hoping to get some shots of them. When I got there I found not only the surfers out but also the Lifeguards were training so I had a chance to snap a few of them as well. In all I took about 200 hundred shots, got to love sports mode.

Then in the evening I went out to try my hand at some night shots


Due to the wind and the extended shutter speeds, a lot of the shots came out blurry


This was taken on an over bridge with a 30-second exposure. I am fairly pleased with the effect .
