Dee Why beach gallery of Sat shots and a video

surfing pictures and short video

After going for a quick surf myself, I set up the camera and snapped a couple hundred frames of ordinary surfers catching Dee Why beach waves on Saturday morning. You can see all the pictures I took by clicking here and jumping to the gallery. And remember, if someone catches a wave, I generally try […]

PICS by Don: Wed Dee Why point from the water

It was International Surfing Day and to celebrate I went for a quick splash at Dee Why point. As I had the Lumix TS20 along, I also took the opportunity to grab a few snaps of my fellow surfers. Enjoy! See all the pics in this gallery here See all the pics in this gallery […]

Folks who surfed south Curl Curl Sat 3 Sept gallery

The biggest problem with shooting surf pictures is that most people are totally unaware that I’ve taken their picture. Like me, most folks probably assume that surf photographer on the beach is taking shots of someone else and not them! So, I thought I’d grab cameos from my latest surf photography session at south Curly […]

PICS: ya really missed it (or maybe you didn’t!)

Was out and about with my camera on Monday morning the 14th of March and stopped by Curly to see what the little east windswell was doing. I got there about 0915 and was bummed to discover I shoulda thrown the board in the car. It was mostly around the waist high mark, but there […]

PICS: Curl Curl, Sat 22 Jan 1000-1115

Got out and about with a camera this morning at Curly where the swell seemed to be up to the most good.  I got there around 1000 (looks like it was just after Doug from wozthatyou finished!) and worked my way from one end of the beach and back again over the next 1:15hrs. Came […]

PICS: Avalon Sat 18 Sep 2010 (am)

Second day of the big south swell and I decided to head up to Avalon for a look. Some good size sets coming in and a hardy crew were on it. I set up in front of the SLSC and fanged off a few frames of the action which I’ve now put into a gallery. […]

PICS: No Mans Sun 29 Aug 10 1000-1100

Weekend warriors weren’t put off by the somewhat junky conditions mid-morning at No Mans and Long Reef on Sunday 29 August. Sets were into the shoulder high range and there were lots of people having a go. I set up just south of the Dee Why lagoon entrance and grabbed a few shots of people […]

PICS: Longy, Mon arvo 9 Aug 2010

Monday afternoon and the small SE swell was creating waist to chest high plus peaks at Long Reef (just north of No Mans) for a moderate size crew. As always my goal was to shoot anyone who caught a wave – at the moment(s) they looked their best. If you were out, have a check […]

PICS: Small but perfectly formed Nth Narrabeen at dusk

A tiny but very clean little east swell combined with a low tide, offshore winds, and nice late afternoon light to create a good picture-taking opportunity.   Lotta bods in the water, but there were some surprisingly good looking waves. As usual, if you see yourself in one of these high res shots and want […]
