Photogenic

Every now and then you come across someone who has that natural knack of looking great in photos, the contours, the toning, or whatever makes them 'photogenic'. I believe this friend of mine defines that pretty darn well.

Life By Inches

Had a recent fascination for tilt shift effect photography lately and after two hits on google came across a simple tutorial for creating the effect. Here are some of my first examples, but average but still learning the tricks of the trade =]

Long Time No See

wow haven't posted in a while, well this was made from footage a while ago but i finally updated it to the HD edition i feel secure to add it to this blog. Just some more board cam footage from some fun, small sessions around newcastle =] If you wish to watch in HD you can view the original video from the link HERE

HDR

Ever since the summer holidays i started having a growing love for hdr imaging, little did iknow that the camera i have was capable of producing them. And when i recieved Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended to find the Merge to HDR Pro application in it. I had never been so excited, few shots of late, still learning the style.

UCIC

finally put the board mount on and used it twice in the past week, love the quality of this thing. If only i had some real quality waves to test it in, i got some pretty good footage though. Edit of what i see when i hit the water. Hence the title 'What you see is what I See'

Im Going Pro

Got my Gopro HD Surf Hero last week and finally got around to using, haven't attached the bount mount yet but here are a few snaps taken by our hands and a trusty flipper saver =]

Wedgies

The day before the comp was of much more interest to Newcastle bodyboarders with somes of our more favourite spot coming alive. newcastle wedge was alive with a solid 4 - 5 sets and a strong sidewash making for some peaky, powerful ledges with boost sections to boot. The locals soon found out and the typical weekend warriors were into. Fellow novocastrian Sam Glohe was there to film what went down =]

2nd Solid Comp

We had our second Solid Bodyboard Club competition go down in some decent yet challenging surf. We arrived to a absolutely F*@!ing freezing morning with a solid 4 foot swell with bigger bombs sets so there were waves. But the morning high tide and strong water movement made the paddle onto them hard. only managed to get footage of the A and AA heats due to me competing and then rain causing me to seek shelter and save my camera =[

all the markings for A, AA, and AAA age groups so far this year are up on the solid forum which can be found here
