Check out what Uge from Aquabumps has been up to. Poor bugger. Geez imagine all the hormonal mood swings with that lot! It is almost scary! Sorry Hazel, just having fun! Sexist pig I am!! haha. Give me a good landscape any day…………..well any day except this one. He shot this on film too, all the more scary! And why, do you ask?, get 1200 girls in Bikinis on a beach? For no good reason other than it looks a damn sight better than 1200 pot bellied blokes. Yuk!

Where was this taken and why wasnt i there?
I see from his fb page that he was in the south-west this weekend!
Matt, Uge is a surf photographer in Bondi and also has a gallery there as well. He has some great stuff, sign up to his daily newsletter. This shot is was taken at Bondi on Australia Day I think. His site is http://www.aquabumps.com.au
Thanks Matt, yep ive been following his facebook page for a few months now, cool stuff indeed. Ill get on to his main site too though and sign up for the newsletter. Cheers
Uge is the man, he always has something up his sleeve. I think in moments of glory, like these, he should give us a heads up so that we can all be there as team support. How did he know which way to shoot? Nice.
Ah Christian, you put it up on your blog! ha!
I must explain now. It was a shoot for Cosmopolitan mag. They organised the world largest swimsuit shoot on Bondi beach (out my front door). They had photogs in helicopters and I thought I’d try capture the wide shot with my gx617 (hand held – not by choice, assistand did a runner). I reckon I had around 3 seconds to shoot this image before the girls got restless and broke formation. Only took 2 frames…shooting on film and hand holding a big camera like gx617 wasn’t easy….especially getting the horizon level and guessing exposure.
So it’s officially the largest swimsuit shoot in the world with 1200 girls…Sarah Wilson (ex editor of cosmo) and standing in the middle is holding the guiness book of records certifcate.
Now I know not to many gx617 are used in fashion shoots, or pointed at 1200 girls…but it really was the only way to get them all in 1 frame …no time for stitching!
I just flew in from Down south WA…nice gallery CF. Love it down there. Ok, back to shooting waves….promise.
I’m at the back
All I have to say is…. Yeahhhh Boi!
I especially like Uge’s work when he has less aqua and more bumps. This is a good example.
thanks for dropping into the gallery Uge, it is a great place for me to hang out, so to speak. I particularly liked Muzz’s comment above, he is a funny guy.
Cheers all.
