Eagles food prep area Augusta

This image is a little different in that I went to these rocks to see if I could get a shot of the Augusta Lighthouse, but what attracted me to the shot was the large number of broken shells on these rocks.

It is obvious that there is a few Eagles or Ospreys that live nearby and it is also obvious that these rocks are perfect for them to drop the large Konk type shells onto the flat contained area in order to break open the shells so that they can access the delicacies inside.

You can see a few of the shells up on top of the rocks in the foreground, but these are just a few of the hundreds and hundreds of broken shells littered around this area.

We left what was a pretty nice day in Eagle Bay to drive to Augusta and certainly picked the wrong day. Augusta had 40 knot plus winds that day and it is only an hours drive from Eagle Bay!!!

Boneyards at Bunkers Bay

Here is another shot from the world famous Bunkers Bay and at the end near Boneyards surf break.

The original stitch was supposed to have 2 more images in it but I did not overlap them enough…DOH!

Anyway, I am pretty happy with how this turned out eh!

Mike Fletcher has a new video out of True North in Sydney on New Years Eve

Mike has just returned from the True North in Sydney where he used the new Canon 1D Mk4 to take some video vision for us. This is his first take on the trip and there will be more later, but once again he has worked his magic with another great video composition.

You can see his work here:

Gallows Surf Break

We went down to Augusta today and on the way called into Gallows which was quite picture perfect.

Only about 8 guys out and I managed to get a few nice waves. There was one agro bastard out there which spoiled it a bit, but all in all, beautiful conditions.

Gallows is one of those 4wd only access breaks and as such does not get the crowds that some of the other breaks gets.

Other Side of the Moon Black and White

Here’s a Black and White version of the Other Side of the Moon shot for Bryce….I agree Bryce, it did work quite well,

Thanks for the heads up!

Bunkers Bay West

Here is a view of Bunkers Bay looking West. One of the prettiest bays in the Margaret River Region down near Cape Naturalist.

Boneyards at Bunkers Bay

This is where Sam, Brody and I went today to see what we could get given challenging conditions.

These rocks are out at the end of Bunkers Bay near the surf break ‘Boneyards’ Boneyards is a gnarly right hander that works on a big swell after it wraps around Cape Naturalist.

I think this image captures pretty well the beauty of Bunkers Bay Point.

Oops!!!

I ran into Sam from Austal Image at Christian’s gallery today with his mate Brody. We decded to go out for a quick photo shoot to Bunkers Bay and on the way there they told me about this beached yacht at Boodjidup.

As I had to go to Margies anyway i thought I would take a look at it. Some poor sole has lost a beautiful yacht there!!!

The journey there took some doin’. Walking against a 35 knot sea breeze with my full kit for about a km and a bit. My legs were getting seriously sand blasted!

Eagle Bay Clarity

After a cracker surf at Bears today, I joined my wife for a cooling swim at Eagle Bay.

The water clarity was to die for and it just so happened that I had my trusty 1Ds with me.

Here is a sample of what we had down there.

Other Side of the Moon Rivulets

I captured this image when out with Christian and the lads.

We had a lot of fun experimenting with light painting and this is one of the images from that evening.
