Winters End 31.08.2015

Last day of winter in the South West for 2015, and what a great one it has been! The last few days have been pretty epic for waves and photos along the coast, and its great to see the whales around now. Looking forward to photographing Spring, as it is one of my favourite seasons! 

Enjoy!

The Afternoon Grind 27.08.2015

This is what the afternoon grind looks like when there is light offshore winds and plenty of swell. We had some epic conditions down on Cape Leeuwin side this morning. I ended up walking up Injidup beach photographing some heavy waves.

Enjoy!

Still Winter? 25.08.2015

What an amazing show of weather and surf we experienced in the South West the last couple of days. There was no shortage of fun waves, and it felt like it was summer! I have plenty more photos to come, but thought I would get my favourites out before the end of the day.

Enjoy!

Weekend Teaser 17.08.2015

I experienced the most incredible surf, weather and wildlife this weekend. There was perfect offshore winds, heaps of swell, a super pod of 30 dolphins surfing waves and 2 whales 50 meters offshore at Sugarloaf Rock! This is a little teaser email of some of the images to come. I ended up shooting a whole bunch of photos so Ill be releasing them this week as the weather doesn't look too good.

Enjoy!

Castle Rock turned it on the other day. The calm waters and setting sun behind the trees made for some great photographs. I love the effect that the slowed down shutter on the camera creates with waves, it makes amazing textures and captures the oceans movements.

My exhibition at Artezen Cafe in Dunsborough will be finishing up soon. If you haven't already, try and make it down to check out my images and taste the amazing food and coffee they have on offer down there.

Enjoy!

There was some fun waves on offer this morning, with a light SSW wind and 3.6m swell. With only a few spots which would be clean and working this morning, I chose the option that was closest to home, and was rewarded with some epic conditions.

Make sure you check out my Highlight Images from July on Margaret River Style.

Enjoy!

We have had some amazing winter weather this week in the South West. The winds have been perfect offshore, and the swell has been small and fun. Looks like that will be over soon with a front moving in tomorrow, so make the most of these conditions while its here!

It was an amazing August morning for waves in the South West. There was a small swell and straight east wind which made for perfect conditions at the breaks along Cape Leeuwin. 

I was unable to send any emails last week due to an overload of work, and looking after our new puppy. Things should be back on track now so I can get out there and take photos!

Enjoy!

We had a very light SSW wind this morning, which was making the ocean along Cape Naturaliste side very calm. This wind, coupled with the partly cloudy skys made for some super clear water, and it was a bonus to have some little waves to surf! I always enjoy taking my water housing out, I don't seem to get it out enough, I will have to make of an effort to use it more. 

Enjoy!
