SwimSwam Film Fest: Curl Curl, Sea Pool Swimming

I’m a swim film festival fan, and I love this short swim video, Curl Curl, directed by Jason Wingrove.

From Jason: Shot in a couple of early morning hours at Curl Curl sea pool on Sydney’s northern beaches. Epic M #123, 120fps, 10, 40, 65 & 180mm master prime. Nikkor 8mm fisheye. All non HDRx. Thanks as always to Mike Seymour for bringing #123. Oh, and that song you now cant get out of your head is “The Swimming Song” by Loudon Wainwright III
