Cronulla Beach at Dusk

This image is the first image that went into the Oceanart Gallery. I was actually trying to get an image that would show off one of those golden autumn sunsets over Cronulla. I grabbed the camera and headed down when I saw the cloud build up as it had all the makings of a glorious golden sunset. It was not to be and this shot is what I ended up with. It has turned into my biggest selling image. Not sure if that is just because it has been on sale longer than all the rest but it still sells well today nearly 15 years later.

For those interested the image was shot with a Canon 1N with a 17-35mm f2.8 zoom lens at the 17mm range on a tripod. The misty water effect was created by leaving the shutter open fort 15 seconds. It is a film image shot on Fuji Velvia ISO 50 film rated at ISO 40 and processed normal.

Wave in the Maldives

I was fortunate enough to be able to spend 12 days surfing in the Maldives and while I was there I managed to grab a couple of images whilst swimming showing the crystal clear water breaking over the coral reef. This image at left was taken as I was swimming back out through the break. I have managed to catch the breaking wave halfway between the front and the back. Looks interesting. We have this image displayed 30 x 45 inches on acrylic in our caringbah Gallery.

The image was shot with a Canon 5D MkII and a fisheye lens in a Aquatech water housing.

Mossy Rocks Cronulla Beach

This image was taken about 20 minutes after sunrise late autumn. The soft golden light is amazing the way it lights up the landscape. It is interesting the way the beachscape changes over time. If you head down to Cronulla Beach today these rocks are nowhere to be seen. The beach is completly covered in sand with no sign whatsoever of the rocks in this image. The mossy green colouring of the rocks sets off well against the yellow sand behind them.

The image was shot with a Fuji 617 medium format panoramic camera and a 90mm lens on a tripod. It has been shot using Fuji Velvia ISO 50 film rated at ISO 40 and processed normal. It has been scanned using our Hasselblad/Flextight 646 scanner.

Cronulla Point

I get a lot of surprised comments when asked where this photo is. It is Cronulla Point. These flowers are there for only a couple of weeks a year. This particular day I went walking along the Esplanade from North Cronulla to Bass & Flinders and decided to take a camera along with me. It was drizzling rain and I had to grab shots whilst trying to keep the camera dry. I managed to get a series of five images around the Point this morning. This image is image 3 in the series. We have this image displayed in our Caringbah Gallery 30 x 45 inches mounted on acrylic.

The image was shot with a Canon 5D and a Canon17-35 mm f2.8 zoom lens hand held.

Longboard on the Beach

There is story behind this image. The board belongs to Jeff Hackman (surfers will know) who was using it at the Noosa Longboard festival. I was heading down to Evans Head with Stephen Slater (Kelly's brother) to shoot some images for Australian Longboard Mag. Stephen took the board from Jeff and drew the Quiksilver logo on the nose to please his sponsor as he had no stickers. I was heading out to shoot from the water when Stephen decided he needed more wax & put the board down to get some. Sitting down to wait for him to come back I took this shot with the camera in the waterhousing. It has turned out to be one of my best selling images.

Shot with a Canon EOS 5 and a Canon 20 mm f2.8 lens. Oh yeah and it is shot on film. Fuji Velvia ISO 50 rated at ISO 80 and pushed one full stop in the processing. Betcha there are not too many shooters around who remember what that means.
