Backspray by onewing

Backspray

Yesterday David and I went to Zenith Beach and Birubi Beach to take photos of the waves in the wild weather we have been having.

I just love watching the backspray as the waves are rolling.

David put together a video of the waves at Zenith Beach and also Birubi and here is the YouTube video of what he put together if you are interested.

At the beginning of the video you can see me taking a photo of the beach at Zenith. I didn't realize that the young girl was behind me and waiting to walk to the beach.

Later on the video about 3 minutes in you can see me again taking another photo at Birubi beach. It was so windy I had trouble keeping the camera still. You can see my trousers flapping in the wind. I was so glad I wore a beanie on my head and my fingerless gloves, it was so cold.
What beautiful blue water .. but that spray shows how windy it was .. I just looked at the clip and if you were that way inclined you could get sea sick.. lol... love the camels..

She was very kind and patient, wasn't she? Liked the video - you can feel the wind.....and hear it! Those camel riders must have come out with the most exfoliated faces!! Super photo. Spotted you lurking among the dunes taking it.

Beautiful image capturing the spray but giving no idea of just how strong that wind was! I enjoyed the video - wow thatโ€™s rough water! Fabulous to see the camels - I forgot you have them in Australia!

Such wonderful blue of the water and those waves and back-sprays are phenomenal . Enjoyed the video of the wild weather and loved to see the carnival of camels

This is a lovely image.

Wonderful movement.

It is so amazing when the ocean is like this. So powerful but beautiful. Fav!

Beautiful shot. I, too, like that back spray.
August 12th, 2019  
Just my kind of shot
August 12th, 2019  
Love how you captured the wave!
August 12th, 2019  
Really enjoyed the video! I worry about dune sand getting in my camera. I have a friend who ruined his camera taking photos of a haboob (an intense blowing dust storm) in Arizona. Your photo is great!

Fabulous action shot
August 12th, 2019  
I love watching waves rolling in like that :)
August 12th, 2019  
Beautiful layering from the grasses through the different shapes and actions in the water.
Thanks for the video too!
August 12th, 2019  
A lovely shot with a great sense of movement in the spray!

Beautifully captured! Definitely a sense of the weather being wild!

I love a good backspray!

Lovely capture, nice spray and movement.

Same here I looked at your video & was really surprised to see those camels all in a row, had to rewind & show Harry.....the sound of the waves on the beach was very atmospheric!

A beautiful sea and beach scene.

Nicely composed despite fighting the wind. Love the spray seeming to converse with the grass

@julzmaioro ha ha, David is the one who gets sea sick, I am okay. Thankfully the wind has died down today, but still rather chilly.

@casablanca I did apologise when I realized the girl was standing behind me, but she was quite nice about the wait.
I think we all got exfoliated faces that day, the weather was wild. I'm glad I was rugged up.

@pamknowler Thanks Pam, the weather has been wild the last few days, but at least the wind has died down again now.
I believe according to a survey earlier this year we have over 1 million feral camels in Australia.

@peadar @rustymonkey @pusspup @dide @tonygig @creativenature72 @sangwann @fbailey @radiogirl @seattlite @merrelyn @taffy @fishers @kwind @mittens @carole_sandford @danette @carolmw @craftymeg @pyrrhula Thanks. The wind has died down again now and the sun is shining, but for a few days the weather was wild. We have a lot of clearing up to do in the garden, branches and leaves everywhere from our trees.
I do love watching the ocean during wild weather though.

@beryl How on earth anyone would want to have a camel ride in that weather I don't know, but we do have lots of tourists here at weekend and I suppose that if you have arrived here on a bus trip you have to ride on the camels whatever the weather.

@louannwarren I was a bit wary of getting sand in my camera but risked it anyway.
A friend of ours got sand in his camera but David managed to blow the sand out using an airline attached to his air compressor.

@happypat You have camels on your beaches in Blackpool and we have camels on ours, ha ha.
According to a survey earlier this year we have over 1 million feral camels in Australia. Camels were introduced to Australia in the 1840s to assist the exploration of inland Australia.

That certainly was a windy day- brrrr! But the sunshine still looks very appealing. Good shot (enjoyed the video!).
August 13th, 2019  
Beautiful capture and fav.
August 13th, 2019  
Beautiful seascape shot
August 13th, 2019  
Beautiful shot of the waves.

Super-dooper wow.
August 13th, 2019  
David's video was great :)
August 13th, 2019  
Wonderful capture, shows how strong that wind was...I liked David's video too.
August 13th, 2019  
Great capture, I love shots like this
August 13th, 2019  
Gorgeous!!
August 13th, 2019  
Ah - so the camels are at Port Stephens or nearby. Compliments to the video man for his great job. What a wild day too. :)
August 13th, 2019  
@olivetreeann Thanks Ann. It was a very blustery few days, but luckily the wind has died down now.

@gardenfolk @bkbinthecity @shutterbug49 @golftragic @nicolecampbell @marylandgirl58 Thanks, I just love watching the waves in wild weather, but we nearly got blown away.

@annied @happysnaps Glad you liked David's video.

@robz Thanks Rob, yes the camels are at Birubi Beach, Anna Bay. It was a very wild day.
August 13th, 2019  
Great timing. Fabulous capture.
August 14th, 2019  
love this one too. And great to view the youtube clip to get the real picture of what it was like on the day. Not for whimps!
August 14th, 2019  
Great capture of the wild surf. I felt so cold watching that video.
August 17th, 2019  
@kjarn I felt even colder being there, ha ha.
