Description Ben Buckler, Bondi

This was one of the tamer waves. A big one hit the rocks and launched meters into the air and even though I was standing fairly far back it still managed to dunk me and my gear. Worth it for the shot though! I was going to edit the fishermen out but I think they give a good sense of scale.

Definitely a fave! The motion of the water over the rocks below accentuates the clouds directional movement above. Without the fishermen it would be hard to discern what they're standing on as a rocky bank or jetty. Great work!

takes me back, tried my hand at it back in 04, well dodgy fishing. Great capture, you get a good feel for the danger involved and buzz you get.

Totally! These guys are right on the edge where the waves rip through most of the time.. crazy.

Water is the softest substance in the world
At yet, it can penetrate the hardest, rock
Or, anything granite, you name it
Umm.. water also is insubstantial; by that I mean
You cannot grasp hold of it, you cannot punch it and hurt it
