The Big Smoke
I’m back in the Big Smoke after a whirlwind shoot-out in Margs. It really is the big SMOKE today, as bushfires pollute our great city. Such a sad reminder of what is going on in NSW. Waves – yes! There’s a small, 2 foot, clean left breaking at South. Big morning swim crowd up early […]
Seductive
Ah Autumn mornings, they’re the best! I reckon it’s the water temperature that gets everyone down the beach. It’s just so inviting… A few little waves with a huge (hungry) morning crowd. Be careful out there. It’s kinda like driving down the road, but everyone is running the red lights. Nice looking weekend ahead. Small NE […]
Costiera Amalfitana
The forecast for today on the Amalfi Coast…34 degrees and sunny. Just like yesterday. In fact, just like the last 3 months. Lucca, who makes my morning coffee reckons it’s only rained once in 2 months (Disclaimer – Lucca’s English is as good as my Italian, we make do with lots of hand movements). It’s the perfect […]
Mondayitis
Welcome back to many who have returned from holidays. Not a bad week to return to work seeing rain is forecasted for many days of this week. I was down the beach this morning feeling very uninspired. 1-2 footers, rain, onshore easterlies….boo. Definitely not a beach day. Luckily I shot quite a bit on the […]
L O R N E
After traversing the state of Victoria one last time we came across some waves and offshore winds, finally (we’ve had some bad timing). The sunrise over Lorne came to the party as well this morning. Amazing colours down here! The sun doesn’t actually rise until 7:30am (Sydney it is an hour earlier). It’s like a […]
Water People
I had a really good time shooting these ten photos down at Bondi Beach this morning. I hope it shows. The water was immaculate, warm and clear. The sun was out baking without a cloud of hindrance in the sky. Wind – there was none. Waves – none of those either. Well I guess I […]
Staple diet
Wow, what a morning… I hope you got up early for it. Today’s 8 images taken at sunrise depict a staple diet for us …a shot of the Icebergs (std), couple good surfing shots with waves overhead high (tick), a sunrise shot over Benny Buckler (No.356,767), a surfing lifestyle shot with Andrej paddling out in […]
Quiet
Living in Bondi, a very busy area, you really appreciate the quiet of New Zealand. Most surfing destinations these days are pretty full on, Bali is choccas, Hawaii – busy with pros, Byron – loaded…you have to go pretty far to get solitude, normally, but in N-Zed you can drive to Muriwai Beach (40 mins […]
Le Bumps
That was a real nice weekend. I was impressed to see waves on Saturday at Bondi…fun ones (nothing on Sunday). The water has been SO clear and warm lately. Perfect weather. Can’t get much better than that. Today Bondi had the odd 2 foot freak set, but mostly 1 footers dribbled into the corner (with […]
