Some beach shots from Wollongong

So I got some good practise in on Sunday when a bunch of mates and I went to North Wollongong beach for birthdays of two friends. I got lots of the water and looking across at the lighthouses.

hey, floody!

I lived in the Gong some of my youth. it was an easy place to love, despite the industry. think it might have got too big now and lost some of its charm? though North Beach doesn't look too much different. it had a wonderful mix of nationalities, all fitted in the narrow space between the wild escarpment and the sea, the National Park and the rural south coast. like a global working class village of the south. you could get authentic Italian, Greek and East European food, go to watch soccer and join in the ethnic festivities at their various times. I lived in an apartment building just a block back from where you took these pics. I had a fantastic view of the Pacific. I see they have built a pool where the old open seawater pool was. is it still seawater in it? I played in the Wollongong Symphony Orchestra and sang with the Wollongong Singers, both at that time run by people from the Music Department at Wollongong University.

thanks for the nice pics!

Hi Neil. Yeah I haven't spent much time around the gong, mostly I'm driving through. My friends love the night life though.

A bit of C&C on my images would be great, I like them and they kinda look like a postcard shot to me ... but I'm sure there is some way I could have made them better.

I like #5 the most. Yes, it's postcard style.

What do you shoot with?

Nikon D90 and the two kit lens. It's been a long time since I took up something that I don't know much about. A mate also started photography late last year with a 450D I think and so we're going to do a course in Feb.

Nice gear!

What is the course, and where and how much?

Thanks. Not sure where or how much yet. He said the local community college runs them, but will have a look around
