OK, not quite hidden per se, but just a little shy. It is full moon time again dear reader. And you know what that means: Shelley Lloyd and I flood our SocMed pages with our lunar-tic pics. Today was a day at the office on the SunCoast and so, with a little planning, and a little thought, I figured I could leave work in time to get to the beach in time for the moonrise...
Camera: check
Tripod: check
Moon charts: check (moonrise: 6.38pm)
Clouds: forgot...
Yes, dear reader, all that planning and what happens at 6.38pm off Moffat Beach? Clouds. Clouds on the horizon...but a little break, a slither, a gap just above the horizon line and the clouds of a higher order.
Chance: well, fingers crossed. So, while I was waiting, I harked back to my early photography days: surfing.

It is one of the reasons I took up photography at school after having so much fun with a little kodak instamatic at the Stubbies Classic at Burleigh Heads back in the late 1970s. Richards, Bartholomew, Drouyn, Horan. Yep, followed them all. Probably have a few faded pic stashed somewhere, truth be known.
And then, as the surfers came to the beach, I waited a little more.

Yes, it was worth it. Then it was off for fish and chips, as you do; as one must.
