I spent the first hour this morning trying to capture the finer details, movements and textures of waves.

It was my first attempt with a longer lens - Tamron 70-200, f/2.8 - in the water. All sealed up in my Liquid Eye water-housing. I’m very excited to experiment more with this combo.

I was lucky enough to be invited to document two icons in @mfanno and Bob McTavish ( @mctavishsurf ) collaborating on a 70’s inspired ‘Blue Bird’ single fin and pumping Lennox Heads.

Bob’s enthusiasm and craftsmanship was finely complimented by Mick’s incredible ability for a pretty special display of surfing which transcended the decades.

Thanks for having me along for the ride @fcs_surf

Afternoons of forced creativity - slowing shutters speeds down.

With Burleigh Heads being my local break, i’m spoiled with great wave formations. I wanted to play around with long exposure / slow shutter photography and with the waves being as good as they have been, my opportunity had arrived. Shooting slow shutter can be extremely frustrating but also rewarding simply because your strike rate for a great shot is so low. The goal is always to keep one part of the wave/subject pin sharp whilst everything else is moving around it. I still haven’t nailed it here, but I do love the effect.
