I am back to this lovely hidden beach of Papuma since the Pandemic in 2019. Not much have changed except my favourite café have closed.



My room, the extreme left unit.
If you happen to venture there, Don't take this 3 units. They don't have a sink and no hot water to bath.

The colourful fishing boats and clean beach.



And those powerful waves.

The "Panning with the ND" shot works very well. I like the result.

If handheld, remember to turn that simulation OFF. I was going bonkers with it ON.

Yes it worked very well. I have never successfully used the ND's...and I live near the sea.....!!

[blu-by-u]

MJ224, It's like the physical NDs that we put in front of the camera.

Super set of shots Henry wish I was there

[blu-by-u]

blackfox, you are most welcome to go there. You many need to bring your own beer I didn't see any sold there.

[blackfox]

Aah but I rarely drink Henry 😳

It's a just in case.

There are stalls there but they are only open till sundown. After that, EVERYTHING is closed. That's why the clear skies and no lights for milkyway photography.

That panning surf waves shot is really good!
