The first big storm of the winter hit the NSW coast today. Some truly massive waves pounded the coastline and made the Kiama Blowhole sing. I found a good spot upwind of the spray and took some shots as mother nature reminded us who’s boss.
I took this photo last night and uploaded it to my Facebook page this morning. Thanks mainly to the guys at Higgins Storm Chasing who kindly shared it, it got a large number of comments, like and shares. Lots of people have asked about the processes behind this photo so I …
