Wet ‘n’ Wild
Well it’s been quite the weekend here as far as the weather is concerned… We’ve had torrential rain / brilliant sunshine / high winds / high tides / warmth / cold… but trying to get the perfect combination for what I had planned took a few wasted trips to the beach…
Finally though all the favoured elements combined this morning, and I spent quite a few lucrative minutes slowly freezing in the wind and sun… Oh, and I got yet another opportunity to play with my new toy… :)
Hey is that one dude wearing shorts OVER his wetsuit? Ha, these are fun B. You got some great action with your new toy ;) Were you tempted to get in the water and join the fun?

LOL.. Yeah he is indeed.. It’s either a fashion statement or his suit was in need of some vital repairs.. lol.. And NO, I did not get in the water.. I was getting sprayed about 20ft from the waters edge… I did see one other photog actually IN the water though… Only crazy people go IN the water… “Ahem”… LOL… ;)

Wow, these are fabulous shots – really crisp and clear and very well composed.

That’s the Superman look isn’t it? …Pants on the outside. :)
Wonderful shots! This looks like such fun – I’d love to try it.

LOL… Well for some strange reason he wasn’t the only one out there dressed like it… I quite fancy giving it a go too… kite surfing that is, not wearing my pants on the outside… lol… But I think I’ll just stick to kites in the park… ;)

Zowie!!! What sharp shots! Were these handheld? They’re amazing.

Thanks Avital… They were indeed all handheld… It was difficult enough tracking them by hand… I’d hate to think how difficult it would have been with a tripod… lol…

Nice work, although I’m not tempted by the new fashion of pants on the outside…
August 31, 2010 at 9:47 am
LOL… Are you sure about that… They might suit you… and if they don’t, at least they’ll scare away the crowds making your location shooting easier.. ;)

You are getting LOTS of mileage out of the new toy!! Nicely framed shots but, how come the water is brown?? No blue water where you live? ;-)

Thanks Tracy..Defo loving it.. And lol… No unfortunately we’re not blessed with the tropical blue’ness round these parts… I could always resort to a bit of photoshop slyness though… lol…

These are fun shots! Must have been fun to photograph :-)

Thanks Michaela… Yeah it was fun, but a lot more difficult than I imagined…. and cold… and windy… and wet… lol…

Unbelievable sharpness and color! I’m very jealous of your new toy! ;-)

Thanks K.. I have to admit that I’m even more impressed with it than I hoped I would be… which I guess is a good thing.. lol…
