Recently, the Central Coast has experienced some very heavy rain. And with a couple of my days off coming up, I was hoping it would clear so I could go and do some shooting. Well the good news was it wasn't raining on my days off and the even better news was their was still some nice cloud around.
I wanted to expand my portfolio, by shooting more Central Coast beaches. Shelly Beach was a place that I had been to a while ago, but didn't get much out of it.
Upon arriving there I took a walk along the beach and watched the surf to see what it was doing, becasue I had noticed lots of sand had collapsed on the shore due to the dangerous surf and after observing it for a bit, I noticed that there were some big rocks poking through as the waters receeded. Because the surf was so irradic, I couldn't get close enough to the rocks to be happy with the result, so I would wait until the water start receeding back out to sea and I would run in, jam my tripod in the sand and shoot. It created a nice sense of movement in the foreground and around the rock, where the water was meeting resistance with the incoming waters coming in.
I must confess - I left with wet socks on this trip. Because whilst I was watch the water directly in front of me, I wasn't watch the incoming from the right of frame.
Regardless, I was super stoked with the result achieved.
Enjoy!
