Location features : Beach, plus a rising rockshelf with gullies. At this tide there should be some flow through the gullies.
Hazards/Dangers : It’s just off a high tide with a moderate swell, so keep an eye on the surf. We need to step, and sometimes jump over the gullies to get further up the rockshelf. The rockshelf has patches of black moss, which is very slippery.
Fitness requirements? : It’s a 10-minute walk from the end of the car park, along the beach to reach the rockshelf, so we’ll set off before first light.
Additional safety equipment required : Bring a torch and wear rock shoes if you are going onto the rockshelf.

2024-03-09 06:10 - 08:00 | Mona Vale Pool, Australia
Location Information
Location features : Beach and ocean pool.
It’s a high tide rising (1.8m) so there should be some flow over the pool – ideal for long exposures. Swell is also very gentle, so it might be possible to access the rockshelf at the back of the pool.
The pool is also a good subject for a telephoto shot from the beach, for something a bit different.
Hazards/Dangers : watch out on the rockshelf, but in front of the pool is very safe.
Fitness requirements? : Easy access from the car park
Additional safety equipment required : Wear rock shoes if you are going onto the rockshelf.

North Shoot - Saturday 6th April at Mona Vale Pool with Andrew Porter
2024-04-06 06:35 - 08:00 | Mona Vale Pool, Australia
Location Information
Location features : A safe location for these conditions. Although we were at Mona Vale last month, this time will be different. The forecast predicts a possible East Coast Low pounding the coast with high winds and rain (on Friday). Combine this with a high (1.9m) tide (on Saturday) and a 2-4m swell, and we should get some pretty impressive wave action over the pool. There is shelter at the beach car park if it is still raining, but to shoot the pool from there you will need a long lens. Easy access onto the beach to get closer without getting hit by in-coming waves. Probably best to avoid going onto the pool itself.
Hazards/Dangers : Big surf expected, and this is a high tide.
Fitness requirements? : Short walk from the car park.
Additional safety equipment required : Always a good idea to wear rock shoes and to bring a torch.
