Rogue bombs 2nd December 2009

Rogue bombs are breaking out the back of Bondi this morning. I reckon some of those sets must be 8-9 foot. A lone wolf paddled out in the southern corner, only to return to shore moments later after getting slapped around. You’ve just got to be patient and wait until it calms down, which it will tomorrow. Until then, book yourself a holiday to Thailand – like that place.

On the weekend, Miss Bondi heat 2 was held at the Beach Road Hotel – you can see the shots here. Special thanks to our contributing photographers Steffen Burggraaf + Margit Selg.

Don’t forget you need to give us 3 weeks if you want to custom order something from the Aquabumps Gallery for Xmas. So the deadline is this weekend, I repeat the deadline is this weekend. Do it. You can view our artwork catalogue online, place an order and we’ll sort it all out for you – easy. Otherwise contact 02-9130 7788 if you have any questions about sizing, framing or freight.

    I saw two Cockies picking on a Kookaburra a few weeks ago on Nott’s Avenue. Was very amusing to watch. My money would be on the Kooka in a 1:1 though.

    Wicked bird shot!

  • Fash said |

    Top Shot Uge…………… My cent would be on the cocky … have you watched them eat through cement and bricks.. and anything else in their way.. methinks they must have crow (oops) bar beaks and necks.. But you have to love kooka’s composure !! Yeah? I was here 1st !!

      100% no photoshop on that bird shot.

    Hi Uge

    What an amazing shot! If I stood there with a camera my whole life I wouldn’t get a shot like that.
    Did you take one frame or was it a series of shots? Is it possible to buy some of your shots for use as screen savers?

    Cheers

    Allen

    • Uge said |

      Thanks Allen…
      shot 3 frames…not many.
      Bit of a fluke really. Was just pointing my camera in the right direction and got lucky.
      Sorry don’t sell them as screensavers.

    the cocky was saying:

    look in to my eyes, look into my eyes, not around the eyes, look into my eyes………..and your under!!!!

  • Cassandra said |

    Love the birds tolking photo,
    as well as the deep blu underwater…

    It’s amazing.

  • Belle said |

    speaking of things cocky…how is it possible that there is no “Mr Bondi”??? With all those puffed out chests prancing around Bondi, i’d love to see a few up on the catwalk! (great shots of the girls by the way Uge)
    : )
