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.
The Superbank /
When the weather patterns and forced unemployment align!
I’ve got to give some level of thanks to Corona Virus. Forcing us all to down tools at a time when the weather systems have been blasting our coastline with great waves and weather. Nothing to do but enjoy and document.
Straddie Winter Session /
This winter on the Gold Coast has been one of the best I can remember.
Relentless East and South-East swells, coupled with offshore winds and perfect sand banks has meant one of the most consistent winters I can remember here in South-East Queensland. Here’s a particular session from South Stradbroke Island.
