I attended the Sydney Bronte to Bondi Photowalk sponsored by Samsung and Google Australia, Hosted by Colby Brown and Michael Sutton. 390+ avid photographers attended the event which was a new world record for a photowalk.

Well we were barely past the start of the walk when I was already getting out the BigStopper

On the northern end of Bronte beach there were some nice rocks and a large storm water outflow which I could go inside and shoot out of for this long exposure using the 16-35/4 @ 20mm with the Heliopan CPL, Lee 0.9GND and BigStopper - 84 sec @ f/11 and ISO 100

Bronte Dreams


and a look at the crowd with the new Sigma 15mm fish...

...and another view to throw into the mix (taken from on top of the drain) - now I'm not sure which one I prefer - in camera I preferred the first but now that I've processed them....

nay I like the first but i think there's to much foreground

They are all very nice in colour and composition. I feel the
vertical format of the same view is more interesting than
the first one, but it is an opinion. I like the fish eye view of
the crowd and providing it is not over used I believe it is
very effective as an unusual effect.

Thanks Zafra

I think I might try a monochrome rendition of these and see what I can conjure...
