Deciding to spend my 40th Birthday with a trip to Sydney and tickets to see The Lion King was definitely the right way to celebrate the quadruple anniversary of my birth.

It has, however, taken me two and a half days to clean up my blog posts and turn the 1414 images I took over the five days into the 129 shots accompanying these blog posts and the 382 that will be finding their way onto the blog in weeks to come.

Interestingly putting the fact of being able to check out hot guys at the beach, most of the shots at Manly and a lot of the early morning Bondi shots are amongst my favourites from this trip. There's definitely a knack to shooting surfers... either when they're locked in contemplation staring out to see or knowing whether or not they're about to try and ride a particular wave...

And getting that shot when they do ride a wave (like the shot in the top left corner of this post) is magical.

I think next time we go to Sydney we may have to explore even further afield... with the exception of the first day, we got outside of the CBD (even it was just across the harbour) every day, which was fun... but we definitely need to come up with at least a rough itinerary too.

Although winging it has it's moments too...
Thanks for having us again Sydney, and thanks for such a great birthday!
