There are certain past times that seem to attract people who have no love of the “sleep in”.
Golfers tee off early, bike riders pull on the lycra before dawn, joggers brave the pre dawn chill and fisherman set their first cast with the first rays of the sun……
…..and of course, we photographers are there to capture it.
Out of bed early to start work on a series of Seascapes that depict the love affair with the beach and surrounds here on the Gold Coast.
Due to the rain and other shoots during the Cooly Rocks Festival, I only got there for an hour or so on a very wet and cold aftrenoon.
However these two shots give an idea about the diversity of style and the tongue in cheek nature of these Rock and Roll, car loving, dance enthusiasts.
It has rained for days, lucky I was shooting in studio this weekend.
I grabbed these shoots during a break in editing Saturdays shoot…all done now.
I got laughed at by a few of the local hardcore surfers, I was tucked up under an umbrella, pressed in close to some rocks to keep the rain off the camera.
This is the second time in as many weeks I have shot from under an umbrella ( see an earlier post about shooting an outdoor fashion event “dedication or stupidity….)
The fantastic “Cooly Rocks” festival swings into action tomorrow.
Thumping V8 hotrods, music from various stages and everywhere you look people dressed to rock and roll.
Talk about dancing in the streets, everybody is just here to have fun………
I have posted images of surfing before on this blog, hey lets face it I do live about ten minutes from a suburb called Surfers Paradise.
Usually when there is a rideable wave near here, its standing room only out the back and each wave is hotly contested.
Not the case today when this bloke was all alone, surfing up a storm…………………..
