Moon Surfer #1 (2/3)
This lunar photograph was made a little more than an hour before the start of the recent eclipse on Town Beach , Port Macquarie , NSW, Australia.
I was all set up with my feet in the wet sand, ready to set off the Timer when I caught sight of this moonlit surfer walking into shot. I could not believe my luck! I waited for him to get further into the scene and ….. here he is!

G’day TORFINN & CARLO,
Many, many thanks to you both for your concise yet extremely encouraging comments for the lunar effort.
The south end of Town Beach is always good for a seascape with lots of rocks, waves, a sloping headland, silhouettes etc but to have this surfer simply walk into shot was a real bonus.
God bless you both,
Dennis

Your concise yet very encouraging comment for this pre-eclipse shot is much appreciated kiddo.
What started out as more of a fun shoot that evening quickly became a very serious approach to the subject as I saw the results I was getting. I had a great time.

G’day Sarah,
Many thanks for your very encouraging vote of confidence for this lunar beach beach scene.
Twice while I was standing in the wet sand I was concentrating so hard on the shot that I didn’t see the larger than usual wave come in and cover mine and my tripod’s feet. A lot of fun though.
God bless you and yours,
Dennis

Question why did you leave the antenna in the shot? Just wondering?
Dennis Gay
G’day Fivelles,
Sir Edmund Hillary was asked why he climbed Mount Everest, to which he replied, “Beacuse it was there.” 8-)
I left it in for two reasons Larry. One was that it was just another feature in the scene and the other was that after resizing I wanted to keep as much of the scene as possible. This was very slightly cropped.

G’day Darlene,
Many thanks for coming down to Town Beach just before the eclipse to catch this lovely scene. Thank you too for your encouragement and support and for adding this to your favourites.
This is not a large beach Aussie many standards but it has so many features to photograph at different times of day, week, month, year and season.
