Huge Surf, a photo from New South Wales, East

Photographer's Note

The surf has been huge lately. I captured this at a nearby beach. No surfers today, not even fishermen... too big ;) I tried to get as close as I could to the action without risk of getting wet.

Beautiful to stereotype,
excel contrast between the sea the rocks and the sky. Remain a hard country l`Australie....

The drama of the water crashing against the rocks is well captured, and the small droplets are very well rendered in this shot. Ruggedly beautiful with very authentic colors. Good shot, Chris.

A great cose and sharp capture. Wild sea, just the way I like. I like the waterdropps and the light they catch on their flight. Great shot, Chris.

Hi Chris, I love that spray at the top ! Don't risk too much for taking a photo ;-)
Very well done powerful action shot with a nice 3 colour combo white, blue and the dark part. Yours, Jan BTW for composition is is very good that the spray at the top is not in the middle.

Great timing Chris! You've really captured the movement, the power and drama of big surf hitting the rocks. I love the white foamy foreground.
