December Afternoon

After several days of shabby, overcast weather or rain, yesterday afternoon finally afforded a brief respite in the form of a cold, crisp day, with mostly clear blue skies and completely still air. When I checked the beach, I found to my surprise a reasonable swell with some nice breakers coming in. The handy thing about this is that you can get quite close to the surf without having to worry about the spray being blown into your face. Even so, I decided that I’d take all my shots with the 14-42mm kit lens that came with the camera… just in case the salt in the air was worse than it seemed. Well, on the down side the results were nowhere near as crisp as I would have expected from say the 20mm f1.7, but these three seemed mostly OK…
