What is even more amazing is that most of these photographers had never shot or processed timelapse before this workshop, and many of these timelapses were actually captured after just 1 or 2 days of instruction. Two of the workshop…
This morning one of my dearest friends passed. His name was Bono, he was my friend, my companion and I will miss him.

It’s a big gully running out just below my house and when if you can get in there… it usually bags you a fish or two. It was tough diving though.

Looks like there’ll be no diving for the next few days with serious winter swell rolling through, 14-15 foot… not so good when you got to get back in on the rocks… Now I’d like to say I’ll be dusting of my board and going for a surf… bloody hell. No thanks. 3-4 foot little lefts for me thanks. Not mountains for white water and near death experiences. It does afford time to do some overdue gear upgrades and fixes through which I suppose is a good thing for next…
