ocean swimmers bondi

I’ve been thinking about the sea today….. its such a mysterious and powerful entity and I never tire of its relentless motion. It’s so powerful and so mesmerising to watch. This is another cross processed image and it is of swimmers in the ocean pool shot at Bondi Beach in Sydney. The east coast of Australia is blessed with some staggeringly beautiful beaches and most of them are pretty wild so there are a lot of ocean pools on the beaches so people can swim seriously with being swept out to sea in a rip or eaten by a shark or whatever….... At Bondi its the rips that are the more dangerous of the two. The intensity of the colour is down to processing E6 film in C41 chemistry and its seem to suit the wild energy of the ocean really well.

ocean swimmers bondi belongs to the following groups:

Love this JP.
There is something quite stunning about the way you’ve gone about processing this. The green hue is a revelation. Good one.

hey thanks Andrew…. I was trying to make it a little bit unreal as you know shots of Bondi Beach are soooooooooooo rare and all….. so it’s a different approach….. got a couple more I might put up….. I’m in a colour mode at the moment….. so glad you like it…...

Woah! Woah! My favourite colour ‘supernatural greem’. This is absolutely incredible. Bravo Juilee.

hey thanks heaps and heaps Paul….. and yes its really really green hey….. thats because of the cross processing which doesn’t always work but in this image it seems to make it really intense somehow….....so glad you like it…...:)
