Breakwater at Patea beach

Posted by Margie (Auckland, New Zealand) on 6 October 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

It was very windy, at times it felt like we would be blown off the edge into the water. I had to get my husband to hang on to me for some shots!

I'm a beginner at this photography thing. Any hints, tips, constructive criticism or comments are welcome and appreciated.

Love the foamy look. One can almost hear the waves and smell the salt. A fine image, Margie.
