Get your towels ready its about to go down.

So, anyway, last week I was at Lido Beach with two of my good buddies:

Ercan:

and Kyle:

It was a jolly time.  When we went down to the actual beach, the life guards wouldn’t let us in the water, because of the hurricane that was nearby, the waves were totally narly.  This caused some of the beach to crack and crumble away:

And some birds to make baths out of little ponds on the still available land:

As I’m sure you can tell by now, I brought my camera with me (as I do everywhere.)

Once 6pm hit, the lifeguards were no longer on duty, and it became a free for all.  Surfers tore up the waves, getting tossed back and forth.  Unfortunately, at only 300mm max zoom on my Sigma 70-300, I didn’t get any shots of the surfers that I’m really satisfied with.  I did however get some decent views of the skyline per say of the beach:

But overall, I learned two things; one: Av is awesome, and I would of accidentally over/under exposed many shots if I didn’t use it instead of M and two: SPF50 sunblock is not enough for my skin.  Damn my Irishness. One last one photo for giggles:
