Woke at 4 am...lots of coffee...loaded the ski on the car & made for the bay, only 30 mins away so i had a wait for sunrise.

Its 23c (74f) so the car tells me & the water is like a warm bath.

Hard shot at f5.6 and panned it at ISO 100

Lots of fishermen heading out. The bay has always been a good spot to wet a line.

You can't consider yourself a hillbilly untill you have put something made from wood on your car. $265 cheaper than shop roof racks :thumb

    Egret shots from Gus!!!!! I feel like i've died and gone to heaven. Even the non-egret shots are excellent.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Thanks for looking guys. Other than the fishermen leaving in the boats & the odd one pumping yabbies in the sand for bait... you have the whole place to yourself.
