Every afternoon when I walk out of work, I always look around to see what the sky is doing and search for any interesting clouds. On the afternoon I took this photo, the clouds looked pretty good so I jumped in the car and went looking for an interesting location. I set up here next to the pool in Dee Why and waited for the sky to change colour. There is no way of knowing if the sky will change colour, I just needed to sit, wait... and hope. Some days you just get lucky.
This photo was taken with a 4 second exposure at f/16. I had my camera mounted on my tripod and used Lee Filters soft graduated neutral density filters to help me balance the brightness of the sky with the water. A Lee Filters circular polarizing filter was also used to cut out any glare on the water.

This image looks north-west from above the Tasman Sea into the Dee Why Headland area. In the lower left of the image is the 25m North Curl Curl rock pool (with permanent large rock feature in the middle of it!). Man-made intervention in its construction has been minimal and wildswimmingaustralia.com describes it as the most natural-feeling man-made pool their reporter had ever swum in.
Further round in the bay on the left a set of concrete steps can be seen leading up to a sheltered building. It houses the North Curl Curl Life Saving Club.
The Dee Why Headland extends off to the north (right above). It is a sensitive coastal ecosystem, providing an important wildlife corridor between Curl Curl (to the south) and Dee Why Lagoons (to the north). The rugged sandstone headland boasts spectacular views south to Manly and north to beyond Long Reef.
Beyond the northern end of the Headland sits Dee Why Lagoon, which makes up some 40% of the Dee Why Wildlife Refuge, an extremely significant area for local and migratory birds (from afar as Japan and China). The rest of the Refuge is made up primarily of swamp-based bushland, but also includes the coastal dunes that separate the lagoon from the sea.
Atop the headland and reaching inland are the northern Sydney suburbs of North Curl Curl and Dee Why, with a combined population of some 26,000 people. They sit some 18 km north-east of Sydney's central business district and the world-famous harbour.
I was aboard a DHC-2 Beaver floatplane flying north en route to the Palm Beach Water Airport on an afternoon flight. As you can see from the sunlight angle, from a photographic perspective the views would be better during a morning flight north with the sun behind you. Stay the day and the afternoon return flight is inland and you get great views over the coastal communities to the sea.

Many of Sydney’s ocean beaches have swimming pools that have been cut by hand into the rock. These pools are filled with ocean water and during storms or large swells, ocean waves break over the pools. It can be spectacular. The ocean pool at Dee Why Beach where this photo was taken, was officially opened in 1919 is still a very popular place for people to swim without the fear of sharks or ocean currents.
This image of Dee Why Pool was taken on a dark and stormy afternoon. It is a panoramic image consisting of 7 images. The camera was set at ISO 100, aperture of f/16 and a shutter speed of 4 seconds. A 4 second exposure was used to make the water flat like a mirror.
Taken on Dee Why Beach, it looked like red lights on the ship when it started to rise at the skyline. Didn't know you could find mosquitoes on the beach : (
Madness.. It's been a stormy week in Sydney this week, here's a snap that I managed to grab with my iPhone just as the fifth consecutive storm loomed over my house.

Another photo from our trip to Dee Why on Wednesday. The surf has been very wild for the last couple of days - something I am sure the surfers enjoyed as did the spectactators and their cameras.
Superb swell coming in from the coast for this local beach of mine located on Sydney's northern beaches

This weekend I went to Long Reef Beach with Focus for the shoot. I was really excited about the shooting location as clouds were predicted. That excitement didn’t last until we reached there at the location as there was not much clouds. The plan was to head out to outer end of the reef to capture some nice flow. Unfortunately, due to swell and winds we couldn’t go there. In the end I didn’t get the shot I wanted. May be I will visit this place again when the time is right.
