Water spout on Port Phillip Bay by Andrew Widdowson

Posted on November 29, 2009

Anyone get a decent photo of the water spouts on the southern end of the bay this morning?
I only got a crappy pic with my mobile as I was going surf fishing.

Taken near Blairgowrie:

Probably the closest I’ll ever get to photographing a twister.

    Great capture and thanks for sharing it, Andrew!!! Sorry I missed it, but not bad for a ‘crappy’ mobile camera shot!!

  • Andrew Widdowson:

    Thanks Phil! I’ve been searching the web and can’t seem to find any other mention of it :-)

  • Andrew Widdowson:

    Yeah I nearly cried cause I didn’t have my camera. The detail was awesome with the water spraying up around it.

    Something you don’t see every day and you have done a great job of capturing it Andrew, well done mate

  • Andrew Widdowson:

    Thanks Clive. I don’t expect I’ll ever see another one.

    These are really neat…I’ve chased tornadoes but never seen one of these…

  • Andrew Widdowson:

    Checked out your photos Dennis – amazing stuff. It’s was awesome to see the water spraying up around the base. Another, smaller one spawned after this one went away.

    It was completely surreal just standing there watching it! It was like some movie.
