Soft Light at Sydney’s Northern Beaches

Overflow. Over the past couple of years, long exposures are something that I have constantly revisited. This was a pretty epic start to a day at Turimetta on Sydney's northern beaches. Photo: Chris Grundy

Purple. Turimetta Beach has some amazing rock formations down at the south end and is a subject that I shoot regularly. Photo: Chris Grundy

Mona Vale. A fisherman and a couple of swimmers enjoy an early start down at Mona Vale. Photo: Chris Grundy

I love to get up before the sun rises and shoot this place, especially when the algae returns on the rocks. Photo: Chris Grundy

Dusk. Might be hard to make out, but this is a long exposure of a shore break in Fiji. Photo: Chris Grundy

Dark clouds and rain. Scattered fishermen and a photographer from China making the most of this rainy morning at Palm Cove located just north of Cairns. Photo: Chris Grundy

This is one of my favorite shots from a trip to Fiji in September 2011. Shot this in the later stages of the afternoon towards the end of the trip. Photo: Chris Grundy

Golden light. The south coast of New South Wales is such a beautiful stretch of coastline and home to some of Australia's best spots. This golden gem was shot at the very start of the year when a mate and I decided to do a road trip down there for a week. Early morning light is by far my favorite to shoot with. Photo: Chris Grundy

Some really nice light but no takers on this large and frothy close-out at Narrabeen. Photo: Chris Grundy

Unknown. Plenty of longboarders down at Manly on this morning taking advantage of some small clean conditions. Photo: Chris Grundy

Man, sky and ocean. Shot of a longboarder enjoying some clean, crisp conditions during summer. Photo: Chris Grundy

Fluro. This is one of my favorites from last summer. A lone fisherman waiting patiently down at Mona Vale one morning. With some of my work, I have gotten into a habit of isolating a subject and using negative space to draw attention to the key element in a shot. Photo: Chris Grundy

Lost. This was part of a series of self-portraits inspired by one of the most creative minds around--Morgan Maassen. Photo: Chris Grundy

Early laps. Not much of a sunrise on this morning back in February, but these two decided to do some early morning laps down at Mona Vale to start off their day. Photo: Chris Grundy

Challenge. A couple of months back, in the early hours of the morning, a fishing trawler washed up on the shores of Cronulla. I headed down that afternoon to check out the 23-meter vessel named "Challenge." This is a shot of the crowds that gathered to see what all the commotion was about. Photo: Chris Grundy
