Let's do this in 2 parts: the swell and the photography.

1/ The swell: It back-off a notch, compared to the last days, making the wave a lot more friendly. Tama would be a challenge, but Bronte or Bondi may see some nice sets today. The wind is not as strong as expected, which is a good thing for those who'd like to give it a crack today.

2/ Photography: right now, it's tough to shoot those mornings. Late sunrises make it difficult to stay too long at the beach for me. In 1 hour, it should be ''door-to-newsletter. So, to mix it up with the usual, I decided not to change the settings of the camera today. Slow shutter speed all the way. Why ? First, I like it. Second, it's a perfect day for it, as the light was low. Then, it makes this work look like a serie, which is what I'd like to do more. Finally, because I don't change settings, it makes it easier for me to be quick(er).

I hope you guys like the result.

I wish you all a nice day. Tomorrow is Bill's tropical up-date…A bit of warmth in our Winter lives.

Cheers

Franck

PS: if you can, watch the Bali Pro. This even is due to be a cracker, judging from JJF or KS's recent heats…
