Photographing Newcastle Baths
As many of you may already be aware, there has been quite a swell hitting our beaches this week. I finally got a chance to get down to the Newcastle Baths to capture some of the action. Vying for a spot among the leagues of other photographers, the view was simply breathtaking. I had visited and shot at the baths many times before, but had never seen them quite like this. Waves soared higher than the horizon, even managing to catch me out a few times and leave me with wet shoes. Just when I thought I had found a safe spot, the water would come rushing in even further. There was a shared feeling of awe around the spectators as we gathered together to appreciate the incredible view before us.
Each week “The Grid” features photos of a selected area of the Newcastle & Hunter region, capturing moments that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Excellent photos…especially like the 3 kids one. Awesome power of water.Well done Ben.
I feel damp just looking at these pix - you really grab the moment and translate it to the frame perfectly. #5 is my favorite, though - and so the day begins… moody and broody and alone.
Absolutely fantastic stuff Ben! Really beautiful images. Thanks for contributing your talents to the Urban Insider project 🙂
Great photos!!!
