Took this photo for a college photographic assignment on extreme depth of field. Not sure I captured all the necessary depth, but I like the composition anyway, so I thought I'd share it.
Pool beyond the main pool at Dee Why on Sydney's Northern Beaches, Australia. (My Ref 25)
For more information on this pool or other ocean baths along the NSW coast, check out the NSW Ocean Baths website www.nswoceanbaths.info
Hydrofoils were first introduced on Sydney Harbour way back in January 1965 and operated between Circular Quay and Manly. They were a well-known and popular feature of the Harbour in those days and the trip took 15 minutes. This service finally finished up in March 1991 when the NSW State Transit Authority replaced these vessels with the jetcats - which now of course also no longer operate.
These photos depict one trip from Circular Quay to Manly Wharf aboard the hydrofoil Dee Why. It's a weekday afternoon in Winter and the weather is fine and clear.
The photos - 38 in total - were all taken on the one full roll of colour transparency film (Kodak Ektachrome I think in this particular case), and would have all been taken within 15 or so minutes of one another. They record the one single trip to Manly and are included here complete and unabridged.
As Dee Why approaches Manly Wharf, it turns out the hydrofoil Fairlight is still alongside, and we thus have to wait a minute or two for her to depart. Fairlight then reverses out of the way at an unusual angle in order to allow us to come in to the hydrofoil pontoon and dock.

Rather than sunbathe on the beach these girls were on the roof of the pavilion at the ocean pool. I was 80-90 m. away at the time, hence this is heavily cropped.
I 'think' this might be the northern beaches - Manly, Dee Why, Curl Curl.
Hope everyone had a great Easter. Thank you for your comments and fav's. Apologies for not responding. Been real busy so not much home computer time lately.

Summer is behind us, and the air has a distinct chill to to it. Easter Monday saw crowds enjoying the last of the summer sun before the autumn and winter make beach going unpleasant. To see and witness the last of the summer sun this year I visited Dee Why Beach one of Sydney's northern beaches.
There was a wonderfully dark quality to the water this morning that I have completely failed to capture. Nonetheless, I post this offering for the enjoyment (or criticism) of the Flickr browsing public.
And yes, I did get my shoes wet. Again.
Balmain Maintenance Yard back in the day.
One unnamed hydrofoil in dry dock (either Dee Why or Palm Beach) with photo being taken from the bow of Fairlight - which had both engines removed at this time. It was not at all a rare thing to find two of the five hydrofoils undergoing maintenance or repairs @ Balmain at the same time.
Stuart McPherson photo. August 1979.
Was up at 4:30am for a shoot with Mario Bekes, Cathy Adams (3 times Miss Australia - Bodybuilding) & her partner Ian Cameron.
Bit of PP to get the water effect, plus added vignetting to help focus on Cathy & Ian, plus some selective (subjects v background) curves adjustment.
This part of a series of captures from the Dee Why Pool morning shoot.
If you have time please take a look at my Bodies set
Special thanks to Cathy, Ian & Mario for be so amazing this morning : )
Sunrise on a weekend, where people swim, paddle, walk, and enjoy the start of another day. Dee Why Beach, Saturday the 21st of January 2018.
