Today was one of the windier ones with powerful northerlies ahead of a westerly front.

Late today I thought I’d try some long exposure shots of windy Henley Beach. The strategy was simple.

1. Guess the aiming of the camera and all the required camera settings with the lens cap on.
2. Quickly remove the lens cap and capture a single long exposure.
3. Face the camera away from the wind and clean the salt spray off the lens.
4. Repeat.

With the driving wind and long time exposure it was almost impossible to keep the camera still on its tripod. Of all I think this one came out the best.
