Crashing Wave

Thanks very much Dinghy ! The large view on RB is tiny – that water on the left looks like cob webs in full Res. Thanks for the fave !

Thank you Lori ! It was a nice challenge to time the crash and capture it. Thanks for the fave ! :)

Thanks very much Dolphin ! [ :) ]
I appreciate your feedback and the fave !

I’m really close to the edge for this shot – about 5 feet away ! Thanks for your great comment and fave my friend !

Thanks Al, I got close to this but I know that spot well ! It used to be one of my fave reef break surf spots in town.

Thanks so much Danilo for your awesome comment, and the favourite ! I used to be addicted to surfing and that wave at the right is brilliant on a good day.

Thanks a lot Daniel !

Thanks Gwenda, it’s appreciated !

Thanks very much Cheryl, I’m glad you like it !

Thank you Mark !

Thanks Bev ! I tried for shots like this the other week on the central coast but didn’t know that spot or feel safe with the camera. This is taken at the Cowrie Hole. Thanks for the fave !

Thank you Antanas !

Thanks again ! What’s Kabranty up to lately ?

I’d noticed he hadn’t posted since that Glenrock shoot a few weeks ago.

Thank you, much appreciated ! :0

Thank you Jane !

Thanks very much Mazz ! It’s ” going great guns ” for something that I almost didn’t post.

I was happy with it, but you know that feeling you get about certain shots / subject matter. Thanks for adding it to your faves Mazz !

Thanks a lot !

Thanks again ! I want to catch it earlier so it’s exploding upwards – takes a few tries to time it properly though.

I’m really close – standing on the edge of the rock shelf to catch this. There are 2 waves in the top right corner and this is almost dead low tide. But on a high tide [ until mid-tide ] those waves are excellent – very mechanical the way they break and that’s what makes the spot so good to surf.

It’s a reef break so it breaks cleanly on high, but there are more tubes as the tide heads towards low. But at dead low you might rip a fin out there or break your board.
I moved to Sydney and gradually lost my addiction to surfing. I just don’t get hungry to surf now. It’s like trying to be converted a second time or restarting a relationship that was “really over, so over”.

Thanks Blamo ! I wanted this proximity to the splash 2 weeks ago but knew this spot better – can’t get the camera wet.

Thanks very much for looking and faving it Kylie ! <:0

Surfers depend on tides and swell for their fun. After just a few months you get to know what spots will be promising when you hear the weather forecast or feel the breeze etc. Most surfers are into it for life and I thought I would be too. It was a very gradual death of enthusiasm.

Thanks a lot ! I’m glad you like it.

Thank you ! I got a few nice shots of that area on Sunday.

Thanks Lindsay ! I was very happy with the way the water is folding over that rock and it looks like a spider web in parts at full resolution. Thank you for the fave !

Thanks very much my friend, I’m glad you liked it !

Thanks a lot Norm ! That was a great surprise for one of those shots you debate over posting.

Thanks Grazyna, the ocean is awesome ! Thank you for the fave !

Thanks Violetta, I had a great photo shoot that day. Thank you for the fave !

Thanks very much ! It was a great challenge and I got about 4 shots with the water going up or coming down.

Thanks Linda, I’m glad you do ! Thanks a lot for the fave !

Thank you Michelle ! I got lots of shots around that spot and they turned out well.
