Swell Time 1st May

by on Apr.30, 2011, under Australia, Oceans, Photography, Surf, Sydney

The winter swell has rolled in the last few days.

There were some solid 5ft sets today – not massive but certainly the biggest I have gone out in with the camera.

Still hating the lack of manual control over many of the settings on my u/w camera housing but learned a lot about shooting in such powerful water today.

1 hold down and a couple of near decapitations by surf boards but overall an epic morning in the water.

Supposed to be 5-7ft tomorrow…

Salt Motion

by on Apr.14, 2011, under Australia, Oceans, Photography, Sydney, Underwater

There is a photographer called Joel Coleman who has a gallery/cafe space near my flat in Manly called Salt Motion. Every morning he is down the beach looking for images.

This morning while the rest of us were getting some exercise in the water and going to work, he was chasing dolphins round the bay…

Check out his site here…he just got back from a trip to the Solomon Islands – some really inspiring shots here

2 minute storm

by on Apr.11, 2011, under Australia, Outdoors!, Sydney

Crazy quick storm blazed through yesterday – one moment sunny, next moment windy and hammering with rain.

I was lying on the couch watching it and attempting to relax so left it to Uge to provide the documentation…
