Currumbin Alley by

Last one from today’s visit to Currumbin Alley. Quite lucky today, while lining up a shot similar to this I was swamped by a wave hitting the rocks behind me. Gold Coast, Queensland.

    Gorgeous shot here.love the waves and the light.

  • Thank you. Shooting into the sun and exposing for the shadows of the rocks is something I’ll have to play with a bit more. Would like to not totally blow out the highlights.

    Drec, this is absolutely perfect my friend!! I am counting on you to get some good storm chases in this season!! I want to see some GOOD lightning shots like I know you can do!!!

    Keep up the great work Bro!!

  • Thanks. Waterproofing/sleeve worked wonders a bit after this so I know my camera will be safe and this lens is better than what I had last year. Now it’s time to keep an eye on the forecasts/MSL Gradient maps and wait.
