Critique Welcomed Several Blokes Walking Near The Wedge

[Brian Moore]

There is an area in Newport Beach called The Wedge. It's popular with surfers. I walked around Newport Beach a week or two ago and snapped some pictures near The Wedge. Here is a picture of several blokes near the wedge. Beyond them is the start of the rock jetty which forms part of the entrance to Newport Harbor and whose presence helped create the good surf near The Wedge.

Light leaking Holga 120N and Kodak Tri-X 400 that I processed in Rodinal.

Bit of a rosy tinge to this one, Brian. Or coffee. Quite nice effect, and the light leaks help also. I can imagine this scene with a super-quality digital camera, and it would less interesting somehow. I don't know why that is. Something to do with the medium being part of the message. But did you have to time it while someone was bending over?!

 

[Brian Moore]

It was remarkable how long that person was bent over.

Are you sure they're not dudes? Love the way they seem to be escorting the first. And what a diverse selection of footwear!

Excellent Brian,the Holga doeas as Rob says add that something which is of interest. I did pop in too see the wedge, something I do more locally to see what the weather is like on certain local beaches. I half expected too see someone with a camera at the Wedge

You're absolutely right Pete. Those are indeed dudes. Thank you.

Thanks Julian. I'm sure someone at the The Wedge had a camera, Julian. Perhaps you can have a closer look?

And there's me thinking that "Wedge" they were walking near was the posterior of the person bending over.

Tsk tsk, Paul.
