A friend organised a portrait session at East Beach today. It was freezing but thankfully little wind. I learnt a lot about technique and tried to get a couple of shots with some creativity to them.

The plan was to take photographs at the Masters event then stay overnight with Su in a nearby hotel. I had a cold and this has to be the coldest and most miserable few hours I’ve had for a while. It was freezing but did manage to get a couple of shots I liked. This series of photo’s is coming on nicely and I am trying to get isolation of the riders from the background. Experimenting with different lenses, the 35mm works well, this one was with the 80mm macro.

The Autumn leaves are hanging around for quite a while so I took a short walk to test a recently serviced lens.
