An inquisitive South Pacific Booby Bird, in flight
I did a trip a few years ago to a somewhat secret group of surfing islands in the south Pacific. while there, we visited a completely uninhabited island which had dozens of nesting Booby birds situated on it. The birds were quite inquisitive, not really having much of a fear of humans, so sometimes they [...]
As country as it gets
Wow, it sure has been a sleepy little town out here on the north shore this year. It’s easily the quietest that I’ve seen it since 1993. Soon after Blue crush, several years ago, a bunch of TV programs filmed here and opened up the north shore like I’d never seen it before. Beaches that [...]
New Davey feature on Aussie website; The Collective
Hi all, I just threw together another pictorial for the independent co-op site called thecollective.net.au, this one about my passion for shooting waves. Check it out at http://www.thecollective.net.au Aloha Sean
Greet the sun. It’s a good way to get the day started
I woke up this morning, determined to get an early start and go hunting some golden light. That is the first and the last hour of light each day, where the light usually has a golden look to it. It is by far my favourite time to shoot. It also has the added bonus of [...]
New fine art print: Aqua Foam Wall
It’s that time of the year when my attention turns to shooting images purely for myself. It’s really, really quiet here on the north shore. Everyone’s outta here on surf trips or hanging out in Bali or whatever it is that they do at this time of the year. This is when I can shoot [...]
Liquid Steel
This is an interesting little number that I shot over near my house, last year. In the world of waves, this little bloke is pretty insignificant at just an inch high, but I still dig on it’s funky look. Enjoy! Sean
Silhouettes are cool!
I’ve long loved to dabble with light and break the basic rules of photography and stuff. The magazines would always say back in the day that you had to shoot only front lit images and I would be thinking, but I like it backlit, so that the people are just black figures against usually cool [...]
Groove Tube
I just love to photograph waves, eh. Got a few more this morning, but here’s a cool one from yesterday which I’ve named “Groove Tube” Yew! Sean for prints, send an email to: roger@waveridersgallery.net or myself direct at fineart@seandavey.com And if you want to see a selection of other images, go to my main page [...]
Green Shimmer is born
Hi everyone. It’s pretty much straight into summer here in Hawaii now. temps are nipping at 90 most days. water’s clean and green (or blue). When it gets all summery here, I like to start the day off real early and go see what i can photograph in the early light. Sometimes, it’s the landscapes, [...]
One big seven mile swimming pool
Hi everyone, I’ve been back in Hawaii now for several days and have been working feverishly in the office, catching up on everything. The daily postings should now continue unabated. Todays posting is a moment of appreciation for what we have here in Hawaii. A lot of crew bail from here during the summer months [...]
Beautiful King Island
Hi all, I just got back to Hawaii. Man I was tired when I arrived yesterday morning. I was seated in probably the worst seat of the entire plane. Yep, right in the middle, directly under the bright projection screen AND with a big guy on either side of me, so it was a constant [...]
More Tassy goodness
Hi folks just sharing some more images from the past week with you, here in Tasmania. The water here is soooooo clean. Everywhere we went, there was never any murky water. Just pristine white beaches with clear torquise waters. You’ve gotta love that, eh. :) Sean
Cool times in Tassy
Hi everyone. I’ve been traveling very intensely during the past week and have not been able to get anywhere near a computer, to give you any updates. Now of course, I have. In this last week, our group traveled more than 1,000 kms by road, a few hundred by boat, long days in the elements, [...]
Jordy Smith wins the Inaugural O’Neill Cold Water Classic in Tasmania
Hi folks, it’s been a busy few last days at the O’Neill Cold Water Classic at Marrawah, right here in beautiful Tasmania, Australia. I’ve been kept so busy shooting with all the great surf that I’ve not been able to convert files over for you to view from the past few days. I just drove [...]
O’Neill Cold Water Classic – Bluff Reef
Following on from my report, yesterday, here are some more images from the epic day of waves, had at the Oneill Cold Water Classic, a few days ago. Enjoy! Sean
Marrawah rocks!
Hi everyone. it’s been almost a week since I’ve had access to the internet and a lot has happened during this time. There’s been awesome surf at a few different locations up here in Marrawah. I photographed Ezra, Flynn and Mason (Ho) for a few days, then the Oneill Cold water Classic kicked into gear [...]
Flynn and Ezra’s excellent adventure
I’ve been free-ranging round the South east of Tasmania with Flynn Novak and Ezra Sitt from Hawaii, these past couple of days. We drove a long way yesterday and they got some pretty cool waves actually. I didn’t get time though to do a proper edit, so here’s a few images from the day. I’ll [...]
Mutton Birds make for nervous surf
Down here in Tasmania, they have these Mutton Birds that nest all round the beaches and coastline. On certain days of the year, they take to the air en-masse. Just thousands of these birds airborne. When you consider that these birds have really sharp beaks, every single one of them is a potential dart, if [...]
The Tasmanian Devil
Probably most of you have heard of the Tasmanian devil via the famous Warner Brothers cartoons, but it’s amazing, how many people don’t know that these little varmits actually exist. About the size of a large cat, but with a head, sized about the same as a bull terrier, these creatures are known to have [...]
Tasmania: Pointbreak surfing in Hobart
This is my first in a series of reports, directly from Tasmania, during the month of March; The Hobart surfers are a hardy bunch, especially when their beloved pointbreaks happen to come to life on the rare few occasions each year. Usually, its downright freezing when the points start doing their thing, because it usually [...]
Tasmania pictorial on Surfline
Hey everyone. The fella’s at surfline.com asked me yesterday for some photos of my homeland of Tasmania. Always one to fly the flag for “Tassy”, I was more than happy to oblige. I like to inspire people to get out there and find some gems of their own, so that’s why some of these are [...]
Hilarious surf spoof of Hitler’s ruined surf trip
Someone emailed me this video link the other day. They took a scene from one of those old war movies featuring a scene where Hitler’s getting all snapped on his officers. They then added their own surfing subtitles to the scene. The result is hilarious. Check it out:
