After the success and pure enjoyment from the last shorebreak session at Conto's beach, it wasn't long before the next swell arrived with good winds and i had another great opportunity to take some more pictures.
Unlike the last shoot, this one took place in the morning. Id got up at dawn for a surf and driven down to redgate to have a look. The tide was a bit low, but so were the crowds, so i chucked on the slightly stinky wetsuit id left in the car and spent a few hours getting waves. Then the wind got a bit gusty and the tide got lower, so i legged it back up the beach and subbed out the board for the camera!
Session details:
Location: Redgate Beach, Margaret River, Western Australia

Pic of the session
A behind the scenes look at the energy of the Indian Ocean unleashed. Cobalt blue.
I took 2 attempts at taking this kind of shot underwater with no idea how they would turn out. The RAW image was just that and lacked colour and density. After a bit of time in photoshop and a touch of motion blur im stoked with the final result.
The session

You can sit there thinking "the grass is greener on the other side", but stick around and you might just find yourself in the perfect spot anyway!
Old mate on the inside got a sick one moments before. In this game you sometimes have to pay to play, and the price for his gold was a set on the head in waist high water
Slotted! Over time im hoping my photography positioning will improve. Unfortunately i was a little to far away from the action on this so the resolution is lower after editing. The beauty of the ocean is even with its inconsistency, it will still supply for next time!
Yewwww! Incoming!
