Taken on a Canon Powershot with a housing.
Taken at Currumbin on the Gold Coast in front of the surf club. A couple of teenagers were mucking around in the waves off the rocks and I was fortunate enough to capture one of them being picked up in the wash off the rocks as it hit an incoming wave. Their mates were laughing at them from the shore.

THE SUBJECT: / One of Port’s finest bodyboarders rapt in the ride inside the tube just before it closes over. THE LOCATION: / Sitting on my usual rocky perch at the end of the breakwater at Town Beach , Port Macquarie , NSW, Australia on a sunny winter day. THE MAKING of ‘Closing Over’: / I shot this much earlier in the day than usual which caused a problem by filling the tube with shadow. Therefore I used a slightly slower shutter speed than normal which opened up the aperture as much as it would go at that zoom. When combined with the slight opacity of the wave this gave me a very good image that I could then open up during processing. / Fuji S9600: RAW, 1/800sec @ f/4.9, Continuous focus, ISO80, Hand held. / Lightroom 1.1 & Photoshop CS3.

UPDATE: / 25-01-09 / I made a print using Ilford Galerie High Gloss Media increasing the saturation slightly and this image came up a treat!

OK the jury is out… is this madness – the question has to be asked, however given the passion these guys have for what they do we’ll call it sport! Go guy! 1 February 2009 – behind the rock at Snapper Canon 40D, 500mm, handheld, ISO320, 1/1600, F6.3, touched the brightness, tweaked the contrast, no cropping. www.perfectwavegalley.com

I was taking some of my first ever bodyboarding pics at durranbah beach on the Gold Coast, Australia, it was not until I got home that i realised this guy was doing drop knee on his bodyboard on top of 2 dolphins. I saw another dolphin in one of my pics as well.

This photo is of a local reef break on the east coast of Tasmania, it usually breaks on dry reef and we have seen it break at least twice as big as the photo :)

THE SUBJECT: / Welcome to Winter in Port Macquarie ! / A young bodyboarder slices down the wave out of the break in glorious winter light. THE LOCATION: / Photographed from the end of the breakwater at Town Beach in Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia. THE MAKING of ‘Sunset Surfer’: / The light from the setting sun was like a spotlight from over my right shoulder right onto the surf. / Fuji S9600: RAW, 1/800sec @ f/4.9, ISO100, Hand held.
