A much anticipated south swell arrives with offshore winds and really lights up Dee Why point. I was down there to test out a Nikon D3S and a couple lenses. Some very nice waves came through and I pretty much got shots of anyone who caught a wave…

Dee Why point Mon 6 Sept 2010

After getting my share of waves in the morning, I grabbed the Canon 5D MK II and the 100-400mm for some shooting off the rocks at Dee Why point. And here’s a gallery of the snaps I got of people having fun on Sydney’s northern beaches on a winter’s day…

Perched on the rocks at Dee Why point for an hour or so getting shots of the crew jagging the shoulder to head high plus sets. Beautiful light and great shooting conditions, so if you were in the water then, you might want to have a look through the gallery to see if I got ya. Again, if you see an interesting pic, just double click on it and you should be taken to the gallery proper where, if you like, you can buy one!

We had a fair amount of east swell on Friday 5 Feb, so yours truly got out and about with the camera.

I ended up shooting at Curly in the late morning, then North Narrabeen in the early afternboon and finally, at Dee Why point as the sun was going down. In all three cases the swell was dead east at about 9 seconds apart and with an average height at sea of 2.5 metres.

If you were in the water during any of these sessions, you’ll find a link to a gallery of all the pics I took below each slideshow. If you want to buy a shot, just follow the relevant link below the slideshow (prices start at just $12.50).

Hello Friends,

I spent my lunch break down at the point seeing if I could get any footage or snaps. Although there were sizable sets, it was high tide so the quality wasn’t absolutely top shelf. Still, the wind wasn’t too bad and there were no more than 10 people in the water the whole time I was watching and snapping.

Here’s a little gallery of snaps I put together for ya! All taken between about 1330-1415.
