Rush Hour
I was standing in the middle of the on coming wall of water, it might look small now but when it got to me – it was up to my thighs.
More photos from the shoot of Mona Vale Pool
- Got up at 4 to get to the pool for these shots, travelling petrol: $10
- A can of WD40 to water proof the camera: $4.95
(to use this – Hahah…. you sprey it onto a piece of cloth the wipe you camera with it, avoiding the lens and viewfinder….not sprey directly onto the camera….so what ever to reply moisture is good. It also stop salt sprey clinging itself on the camera too.)
- Stand in front of an on coming wall of sea water (Being scare sh#tless): PRICELESS!
