I was rugged up this morning when I left the house. The weather had predicted strong westerly winds and very cold conditions but when I arrived at the beach before first light, it was just the opposite.

The winds were practically non existent and after clambering around the rocks at South Bondi to find a vantage point, I broke into a sweat and found myself stripping off my jacket and hoody in the unusually warm conditions.

As the sky transformed from crimson to blood red , I began to hit the shutter button, firing off images at an amazing canvas of wild changing colours. It's mornings like this that make you thankful for being alive and also not forgetting to set your alarm.

I'm sorry to say that there is no surf at all today. It's a lake! So apart from the sunrise opener and the struggling longboarders shot, I'm giving you a look at the amazing day of waves Bronte experienced on Wednesday. We will upload a swell event feature over the weekend. Maybe you will be able to find a shot in there if you were lucky enough to be surfing that day.

The wonderful people at 18seconds magazine have kindly published a portfolio of my work. If you care to have a look, click HERE.

Have a great weekend everyone.
