Home days - Rainbow Bay Session 13/03/19

It can sometimes be difficult to explain why a large number of us choose to live and surf in one of the busiest surf locations on the planet. Rainbow Bay has an almost secret but distinct community of surfers that call this part of the world home. A meeting place at all hours of the day, but in particular the late afternoon session, where the worries of the working day are washed away.

A chronological sequence of 130+ photos from late afternoon till after sun set.

Photographed with a Canon 1dxii, fixed focal length of approximately 62mm, exposure times ranging from 1/500 second to 1 second.




Photoshoots and Evenings at Snapper 12 May 2016

I wasn't meant to be at Snapper yesterday afternoon. After an afternoon text requesting my presence for a portrait photo of myself for an interview with Aaron Chapman, I gathered myself and arrived to a classic golden Rainbow Bay sunset.

After having my portrait taken, I couldn't help but swim out into the lineup to snap a few photos of the local crew (and Aaron ran to the car, grabbed his board and got some slides in himself!) Depending on the direction you looked, it was either stunning yellows or lucid pinks. This is our Southern Gold Coast...
