Lovely coastal walk located on the Northern Beaches of Sydney

Morning sun lights up a breaking wave at South Curl Curl, on Sydney's Northern Beaches

I shot this a few weeks ago on a frosty morning

The liquefaction after the 23 December earthquake in Christchurch started to dry out and the thicker deposits started to curl up like broken drain pipe.

A blackface ram at Balmoral Show 2015. Chewing his cud rapidly thus the movement in the bottom jaw. Difficult to make full eye contact due to the sheer size of those horns which I don't think are totally symmetrical. At F3.5 and close up so DOF is quite small. Nik silver efex pro used to process. Shot low down and handheld to try to follow the movement of the animal.

A macro image of a new frond being produced by our sago palm. I used 68 mm of extension tubes with my 100mm macro for approximately a 1.6x magnification. Its been over a year since the last frond was produced. These are very slow growing plants. Strobist info: One YN 568EXii to the left of the camera, modified with a small softbox and fired at about 1/1 power. The YN was attached to the camera with an OCF cord, and acted as a optical master to trigger a Canon 430 EXii to camera right modified with a stofen diffuser, fired at 1/64 power. A small reflector was positioned above the subject to add a little fill light. You can see a setup shot here: www.flickr.com/gp/rcjeske/393j9x

The Bromeliaceae are a family of monocot flowering plants of 51 genera and around 3475 known species native mainly to the tropical Americas, with a few species found in the American subtropics and one in tropical west Africa, Pitcairnia feliciana

Large waves at Sydney beaches this week, including this one at South Curl Curl.

Always risky trying to snap a speeding hydrofoil with a long lens, it didn't always end well. The planets didn't quite align for this one but here she is anyway, because I can never take it again.
