yeah it’s all about location location location.

these were taken in France and Clare.

Just knowing where to go isn’t half the battle though it’s when is the big question.

i don’t use a board to sit on. i prefer to swim around. sitting on a board limits you to sitting wide of the wave and requires a better zoom lens than i have. :)

if you want to shoot surf you’re best off finding a surfer who’ll act as a tour guide. some many different variables and so many different spots.

cheers

i appreciate the comments thanks guys.

I’m using a 40d and i have a Liquid eye housing for it. http://www.liquideye-whs.com/

All i’ve done is boost the saturation a bit in processing nothing else. That’s about as far as my post processing skills go :D

I was pretty bummed out on the last shot. Dunno why i had my camera flicked to a portrait orientation. shot would be a million times better if it wasn’t. way too much dead space in the bottom of the frame. Lesson learnt with that little experiment.

right on thanks guys.

I think i might just get a few cheapy triggers of ebay to play around with first.

Just have to decide on what flash to go with.

Would i be advised to go with a good one and not waste my time with a cheapy?

Maybe the canon 580 ex?

Hey Mark

No not at the moment, i’d need to get the flash and the triggering mechanism

Hey Tony, nice set of shots.

I think 5,7 and 8 are my favourites. I imagine Rally events are quite hard to capture. you nailed the movement in #8.

I do find the people in the shots very distracting though. They don’t blur well into each other like the trees do. It also kind of takes away from the extremity of the situation seeing people just standing a couple feet away.

Nice stuff though. slow shutter stuff is hard. I can’t do it!

Thanks for the comments. I wasn’t particularly looking for critique on these although it is of course welcome. Just threw them up with the post as an introduction with a few examples of shots I’ve taken.
