'Great day to be working!' Man snaps terrifying monster waves from Sydney's Manly ferry
A Sydney man has captured incredible photos of monster waves lashing the sides of the Manly ferry.
The somewhat terrifying photographs could be taken straight from a scene from climate disaster flick The Day After Tomorrow.
The ferry ‘greaser’ Haig Gilchrist took the chance to show off his photography skills, as wild weather hit Sydney Harbour last weekend.
In the middle of the chaos he managed to capture a massive wall of water, towering next to the side of the ferry.
“Great day to be working,” he wrote in a Instagram comment on the picture.
“East Coast Low intensifying,” the photo was captioned.
"It was only for a few hours it went a bit insane. Made it pretty busy with swell and sail boats," he wrote on a photo taken during Saturday's storms.
Since posting the photo online, hundreds have shared admiration for his snapping talents.
Speaking with Beyond the Wharf, Gilchrist said he lived and breathed the ocean, loved photography and was fluent in Japanese after teaching lifeguarding on the beaches of Japan.
He told the publication the secret to his great photos was “snapping away”.
“I just do a variety of different shots and choose one I like,” he said.
He loved to take weather shots and felt the ferry provided him with many opportunities for a great photo.
“All a picture is, is getting things in the frame,” he said.
7 News Online has contacted Gilchrist for comment.
