I have been trying to nail a back of wave shot for a while now and never quite getting one is was truly happy with. The clarity of water, light, wave, camera settings, everything has to come together and be spot on, today I came closest I’ve got to getting the shot I want, tho there is still major room for improvement, efforts will be doubled!!

2-3ft Sloppy surf wasn’t enough to put local surfers Dan Sargent & Dallas Petersen putting on a great airshow today. The surf may not have been epic but the light and backdrop was spot on.

Water Colours

ABSOLUTELY flat as a board this morning, just about a 6 inch wave lapping at the sand with a pastel coloured sunrise backdrop - might go diving…

The sun set the sky on fire this morning, another beautiful Australian sunrise at Stanwell Park.

Singlefins At Sunrise series.

Another early one this morning for me at Stanwell Park today, shooting some more ideas for my singlefins at sunrise series. All shots are available to purchase framed and unframed printed via the Lambda exposure process (NOT inkjet) onto photosensitive metallic papers, prices will uploaded in a shop section on www.vieu.com.au shortly.

Sometimes I wake up in the morning and head off down the beach with a carefully thought out plan of what I want to shoot and how. Then when I get there something else catches my eye, another scenario presents itself quite out of the blue and ends up being a better image than the one I’d been planning for days!!! Today was such a day, these guys oblivious to me shooting composed themselves perfectly. Here’s to the randomness and unpredictability of life and light!!

Flat Day fun

The surf had really crapped out at Stanwell Park today so everyone jumped on planks to ride the 1-2ft mush and have some fun. Pictured left to right: Melody Curnow, Aaron Curnow, Simon Doherty & Bret Walker.
