City Lights

I have been wanting to shoot this angle of Surfers Paradise for a while now and I finely got off my ass and shot it last night. I'm pretty happy with a couple of them and I got some good ideas for the future.

Lost World Above the Clouds

On the way down to Melbourne I snapped this out of the window some where above NSW. Thought it looked pretty cool, like a lost world above the clouds.

Gold Coast Destruction : Million Dollar Views

2009-05-26T20:16:00.001-07:00

I'm sure you have all seen the footage on the news of the Million dollar houses that are real close to falling into the ocean at Palm beach, the houses are only being saved by rocks that where compulsory to put there by the owners when they built the houses.
I went down there this morning for the 10 o' clock Hi tide, the houses wont be there for to many years to come I don't think, unless they do something major. With the rising ocean and crazier storms that they predict, I cant see them lasting.

Gold Coast Destruction : Duranbah

Dbah is a mess, sticks, logs, plants, trees, all over wat is left of the beach.

Gold Coast Destruction : Froggies

2009-05-25T23:08:00.000-07:00

Froggies Beach was a foaming mess. There was tidal wave like foam walls rushing rite up wo the board walk. There was a fair few kids playing in it, makes you wonder what they are going to catch from it. Check out the Foam Barrel that 2 kids are in and also the last 3 shot sequence.

Gold Coast Destruction : Snapper Rocks

2009-05-25T22:47:00.000-07:00

Snapper Rocks beach has been transformed yet again, the banks are shot and there is a fair bit of damage to the concrete steps etc leading into the beach. The foam looked like it was snow, definitely didn't look like Snapper. The light got really good in the arvo and produced a awesome sunset.

Gold Coast Destruction : Surfers Paradise

2009-05-25T22:31:00.000-07:00

Surfers Paradise beach's were much the same as the rest of the coast, apart from up at Narrow neck and main beach where the erosion was like a 15 foot drop. It all looks pretty nuts. I got caught by the water a few times taking these pics, the water was
going rite up to the eroded cl iffs.

Gold Coast Destruction : Currumbin

2009-05-25T21:46:00.000-07:00

Currumbin was one of the worst hit beach's, the surf club car park is stuffed, the erosion up and down the beach is nuts, but on the upside there was some massive waves that guys were towing into and despite the wind there was some clean waves coming through.

Just Another Day In Paradise

2009-05-25T19:19:00.000-07:00

I went on a drive to get some nice scenic shots at places that I haven't shot before. My road trip took me to Tallebudgera Creek, Currumbin and Fingal Headland. The weather was perfect and im pretty stoked with some of the shots. Tallebudgera Creek looks like paradise on in the rite conditions.
