Hi Crew,
I got the opportunity to head down south for Friday night so I took it with both arms open. I decided I was going to head out to Cape Naturaliste and I made it just before sunset and with only minutes to spare. So I had to quite literally sprint down the track and down the limestone cliffs to get to this beach. It must have been pretty funny to watch, I’m not exactly the worlds greatest runner!
After catching my breath I decided to try and capture the big waves that were thumping through in the background with these rocks in the foreground. The waves were just huge and breathtaking to watch. After all the shooting it was off to Mike Fletcher’s house to feast on an amazing Thai Beef salad that his wife Ali cooked up for us. Delicious!
Hope you guys enjoy the shot.

Yeah mate that works..nicely done!
Hi Mark,
Thanks very much for that mate. The best part was actually being down there.
Jamie
Sounds like it…I know Ali is a great cook!
Yeah she is isn’t she? Melissa is easily the best chef I know though.
Fantastic mood and tones Jamie – I like the timing and composition of that breaking wave too – really sets the shot off.
Hey Tony. Thanks very much for that. It wasn’t easy to get. You know hard it gets to time those waves once you start using long exposures. I’m looking forward to more of your shots from your trip to the high country.

Awesome image Jamie. Great colours and mood.
Hi Andrew,
Many thanks mate. I’m glad you liked it. It was certainly fun capturing it.
Jamie
I really love this Jamie, well done. Like how the storm and the waves roll in towards the viewer. I might perhaps try cropping the bottom
Cheers Flemming. It was an awesome evening and it was beautiful just watching those waves crashing against the rocks.
Jamie
nice work Jamie.
great atmosphere, and well done on getting the wave breaking nicely.
love the smaller details in the wave in the foreground also 🙂
Hi Stephen,
Thanks very much mate. It was all about timing and fortunately Mother Nature decided to play the game!
Jamie

Wicked. Thanks Christian. Cheers for the coffee the other day.
Jamie
Nice one Jamie, really like the colour in the water!
Hey Jamie I like the sharpness, texture of the sand in the foreground. Great shot. Love the breaking wave exposure as well. Cheers Adrian
Adrian!,
Thanks mate. Looks like the swell is up majorly this weekend so its time to go out and get some stunning shots of waves smashing against the rocks.
Jamie

Hey Dylan,
How is the US? Thanks for commenting. 🙂
Jamie
Love the drama and the colours. Willing to share the settings you used?
Hi Jo,
Thanks for stopping by again. Always willing to share from memory it was around F11, ISO 100 and 1 sec or .5sec exposure time.
Jamie
This shot is simply breathtaking! Great work, as usual! Keep it up!
I enjoyed the shot a lot! It just so relaxing to the eyes and the aesthetics of it is to die for. I can almost smell the sea just by looking at it, keep it up!
Hi Haydee,
Wicked. Glad you liked it. I was trying to bring the whole standing by the experience to people and I guess by your comment I might’ve done that. Woo Hoo.
Jamie
Now that would be a great way to end a day of shooting! A delicious meal of Thai Beef Salad. Yum!
Awesome shot, mate!
I remember someone calling you wave king in the other post. I agree with giving you that monicker after seeing this shot. Splendid, just splendid!
I wish I could hang out in Cape Naturaliste soon. Its just so beautiful! Thanks for these breathtaking shots you took Jamie. So when can we see new ones? We want more.
Waveking would be a perfect monicker. Yey for waveking! This is my fave shot! Keep em coming, Jamie!
