[Zac Gibson]

always loads of new threads for people posting their shots so thought i would make a topic for everyone to show off their talent as their is plenty of good shots on here i'll kick it off

yeah i did go fuerte didnt get any great shots got a couple of ok water ones but might send them to unleashed or summin but once i put them on facebook i will put them on here else i have to go through all that resizing crap but will get some up soon, first time shooting reefs was a good experience and reckon my photography has improved cos of it and was a really good laugh

[mealy]

I havent taken any surfing pictures for a couple years now but I did get a new camera and lens yesterday, shot a test roll and developed it today. Aint gonna win any awards but atleast I know the cameras all good.

[Zac Gibson]

ah nice i love film been doing quite a bit of work with medium format at college all b and w would like to do colour but it is much harder. i cant do 35mm i cant get the can off when i want to get it in the developing tub. what camera and lens did you buy? i have a really bad thing for buying stuff i dont really need when it comes to cameras lol

[eric_t]

Zac, i thought those shots were yours when i saw them... nice. did you get the wetsuit you won?

whats happened to pit pilot this time? i thought it had only just been taken over.

[mealy]

Zac - I bought a EOS 3 and a 50mm f/1.8 which is a really good cheap combo, cost £180 for both. The EOS 3 controls are very similar to 1 series digital so it was really easy getting used to it.
I've done a bit of E6 and C41 developing but like you said its a bit of a pain in the ass so now I just stick to B+W.
35mm is really fiddly compared to MF or sheet film but you get used to it. I havent got my darkroom anymore so just load the film up in a changing bag which takes a couple mins.
Yeah photography can be stupidly expensive if it gets out of control specially digital, its too easy to look at some peoples work and want to try it but you nearly always need to buy an extra lens or lights or somethin. I've 'kinda' got that under control these days.

eric - yeah PP has gone under mate. I'm suprised it lasted so long to be honest, tough times for any magazine to survive.

[Zac Gibson]

eric - nah i havent heard from them, i messaged tony and he said he will email them but i havent heard anything but i might get on to the person that won it and see if he wants to give me my wetsuit as i will only sell it so size aint really a problem.

Mealy - i recently bought the 50 1.8 and have been really pleased with it and also got a 1d and really liking the controls so might look at an eos 3 as only have like a eos 600 atm which is ok but not wonderful as fopr using a changing bag i have tried that before at college on a test roll took me about half an hour then i got pissed off and took it out and fogged it but we got like blacked out rooms to do it in and tht is much easier. i really want a telephoto as only got a 70-200 f4 atm and i need a bit more reach and i also want the 85 1.8 and the 28 1.8 not much to ask really

Nice pics Zac, shame you just missed the fella's hand in the second one.

Here's a picture I took and cropped/mucked about with; a rarely seen beast somewhere on the coast of the UK. If you know where please keep hush.


And one I took from the early Nov swells down SW. You know where.

Feel free suggests ways to get a better shot. I've only got one lens as you may have guessed.

Right place at the right time and a bag full of L glass couldnt better that second shot imo.

[Chris F]

Word. hard to fault that second one. Light and exposure are perfect and composition is great. If anthing it could maybe do with a slight crop off the bottom, but probably not.

[Zac Gibson]

yeah poo was a bit disappointed bout cuttin out the hand, that second one of yours is sick !

[Ferral]

Loverly shot of the banth poo stance! good work!!

[Craivold]

That second shot is cracking Poo - looks like an awesome day. I'm by no means a photog but I've got into the habit of recording line-ups with a few snaps usually after a session and got some real fun small (and uncrowded) waves on a dawnie at the local beachie earlier this week when the winds had backed off. Thought the shot came out quite well considering it's a camera phone;

[Poo Stance]

Thanks guys, lovin the lovin

I know where that place is

Here's one for Waveless, and anyone else who is missing the summer...

haha... Thought you might. Getting increasingly difficult to get a quiet one in down there but when the swell lines up off the groyne right it can be good.

I was missing the summer looking at nice shots of Portugal the other day but your pic has put that into perspective. At least we have a few more months till things get zoo-like!

[mealy]

I found some old disks with images that I thought I'd lost I'd lost forever, happy with that!

[corduroylines]

That 2nd shot Mealy is stunning.

[smelly skater]

here is one of mine !!!! mealy and you might recognise this guy

[mealy]

^^ hahahahaha classic!!

[Chris F]

I'm loving both your shots mealy, especially the first one. Exposure is perfect - 10 shades of grey Ansel Adams would be proud.

Love this shot. Perfect.

Nice moody shots of Byron there too Drifter. Not your typical Pass shot for sure. I like this one of yours, makes me cry and hard at the same time.

[mealy]

Like your second pic Puredrift, good stuff.

[mealy]

I shot a couple rolls last week at my home break, some Velvia and Provia, bit crappy scans but it will do for now.
Dont know if others will like this sort of thing but I'm into it at the moment.
