Out of interest mealy. What lens was used for the second pic. Going to gues either a 50mm or 70-200.

a couple I took from recent times with my new slr..

[Vince Noir]

that wave looks fun as hell

[henryg]

that wave looks fun as hell

If that's where I think it is that wave can dole out some merciless beatings

[tootes]

I left it to the experts that day as it was coming through bigger than my photos suggest. I have been thoroghly beaten before there..hounded out of the ocean to somewhere more forgiving .

Vincy boy, if you keep doing what you are doing you will be surfing this wave in the next year or so, or ones like it, don't worry about that.

[danny1]

nice pics mate

vincey as long as you are fit, know how to behave in a crowd and dont mind hold downs like never before...this wave is fine for you!!!!

[tootes]

For ref danny it is one of the smaller sisters of the wave you are thinking off. I was going to walk round to that one for some pics but was gagging to get back in.

[danny1]

great piccies mate...did that fella make that drop?

[Black]

You really don't want to be on the left hand side of pic 2

[Craivold]

haaha - exactly what I was thinking Black! Fun looking wave until you stack it and end up with a fierce beating in the grinding white-wash - looks like it would pummel you right in over the reef

[Vince Noir]

hahaha ! cheers for the encouragement lol, need to get myself on some proper waves


tootes, for some reason i thought you were in scotland ???..think i know which one this is..need some swell now please!

[Zac Gibson]

old one from back in march that i just found

[tootes]

the lad made the drop, was a very decent surfer actually.

This chap wasn't so lucky, you can see his board behind the curtain.


Yes you do not want to get caught inside. I got caught in the wrong spot and punished trying to surf here a couple of years ago.
You can just see JohnJohn here about to really suffer that same day



Incidently if anyone thinks these photo's are above what is acceptable then please let me know and I will remove them. I have never put pics on MSW before.

Despite me being in one of them, these waves are probably out of my ability, especially with a crowd present. Hence I am holding the camersa

Look forward to meeting you one day Vince, also waiting for a decent swell.

[Chris F]

Nice pics tootes, what's your new camera setup?

[tootes]

I went for a budget SLR set up as we wanted to be able to get decent photos of the kids rather than pay £££ for studio pics.

I have a Nikon D3000 (plus std VR lens) which was last year’s module so I only paid £299 for it new from Amazon – the new D3100 is 399 btw.
The pictures were taken using a £100 Tameron zoom lens from Jessops. So all in 400 plus a bag and card.
The Tameron has no vr so I should probably sort out a cheap tripod off ebay, the Nikon lens was with VR was £200 so I may try and get a used one at some point.

Still learning to use the thing really.

[Vince Noir]

hahah tootes you hero.that pic from the shoulder..looks heeeaavy there lol.. im limited to weekends for now but after march i should be able to keep ontop of most swells of merit...just gotta take your beating like a rat when you get caught out been a while since ive had a proper nasty beating, my time will come

[mealy]

^ Looks a nice place to shoot from tootes.

Took some surf pics today first time in ages. Messin about with shutter speeds.....

Sounds good. Get a fat card and fire off as many pics as possible. How long is the lens? In decent light you should be OK without a tripod unless it's really low light, at which point photos get poor anyway. I think VR is overrated, just choose the right shutter speed / f stop combo and up the ISO if needed.

Been getting to grips with a bit of post production.


Boom


this should be an improvement
