It had to be done.

Hey windsurfing photographers.

There's been several threads about photography on here lately, and some pretty cool shots in the photogallery.

Also been plenty of ad-hoc caption comps etc.

How about we start a monthly comp for the best designed windsurfing desktop wallpaper, we could then all download it and have it on our desktops for the month.



just a thought...

thought i'd ask the brains trust a few questions....

1. aperture priority?

if i shoot in aperture priority mode is it "better" to set a lower aperture to increase the auto shutter speed and bracket the exposure (in case of under exposure) or just use a higher iso to start with. (how would a polarizer effect this)

2. bracketing exposure?

does bracketing exposure slow down the the amount of frames per second?

3. metering?

if shooting guys on the wave and there is large amounts of white water would it be better to use spot metering so the light is based on the rider or use centre weighted metering?

4. white balance?

what is the preferred white balance setting when shooting in good lighting conditions at the beach. 7000k for eg.?

5. white balance bracketing?

does anyone use white balance bracketing?

cheers
gestalt.

rather than trawling trough the zillion shots, though i'd start a thread where we could put up our fav pics from the windsurf section - with a short description.

then u can get all the great shots in one hit

ok i'll get the ball rolling with this old classic.





Have to admit it was my wallpaper for ages...I'm always thinkin - where about is the sailor ? did the gear get trashed, hope he's ok - was that the last one for the day? oh yeah and who is it???? ezzy and a stoney ...maybe king of the point?
