Well, we have had an amazing Christmas day (probably one of the best - the kids all sang tonight and I will just have to share some shots with you later. When they sang Elton John's "Daniel" I was all over the place!).
There is a low off the coast, almost cyclonic (hurricane) and the seas are Huge. Everyone has been out to look.
At Rainbow Bay (Snapper Rocks) I saw a guy with a 150 - 500 Sigma and a Swedish girl with a Cannon - that is not a misspelling (looked like it could lob a mortar). There were massive lenses everywhere. And there I was with my humble Nikkor 70-210 from the old F801 (N8008) days! But on the D200 it gave a bit of reach.
this was the beach in front of our place Xmas morning

and I had the feeling that this might be acceptable to the members

even the Lifeguards were in the Xmas spirit

our daughter and son-in-law watching the big sets hit home

this bloke, with his hat, kept everyone (thousands!) enthralled - would he be able to get out or not!

one of our daughters is besotted with Harry - who is quite a dog
