Windsurfer at At St Kilda Pier, Melbourne

 


It was a trip to St Kilda Pier on weekends for sunset photo of the local heritage kiosk. Then it turns out the whole pier is under construction. 

This chap is very kind to service the spectators by doing moves close to the jetty. So I was literally taking the shots by 50mm focal length. How fun!

      He was so close to the pier that he could fall on it with serious injuries

    I spent a lot of good hours, on or next to StKilda Pier. But the wind surfers are something new. Amazing

      I used to run a blog called 50mm focal length. It was fun. Then it got bot attacked and ruined.

    Some people will do anything to get noticed and have their picture taken! I'll not be trying that one though.

      I guess I was the lucky one for the day. Otherwise, I would go home disappointed

    Admit it--- There's a part of you that wished you could do that. Luckily the larger part of you suggested trying some of the local ale instead.

    Tengo ganas de poder hacer fotos de esta temática, se que en una zona en el norte de Burgos en un pantano hay personas que lo practican.

    Saludos.
