Your camera is amazing man, what kind of money does it cost to get a camera and lense that gives such amazing photos?
Perhaps the next step isnt a SUP but a camera that isnt smaller than my phone :P

don't under estimate hairy's skills behind the glass.

but if you sold your entire setup you could afford his lens.

edit* how did you get on yesterday. you have massive balls mate.

Yeah i was an idiot to take your advice on taking the flare out haha.
I spent agers just trying to get out of knee depth water, then it came to waterstarting and i couldnt get wind in the sail, eventually i was just getting washed too frequently that i gave up and just drifted back to land.

But yeah i know there are some skills behind taking the photo, i bought my sister a $2000 camera and lense combo, and practiced on that for a while. But hers is a fiesta compared to haircuts ferrari

^ lol, i didn't think you were actually going to try.

my setup was just under $2000 for the body and kit lens.
yesterday was the first time i've struggled with distance with the 300mm.

one of these days i'll get the 100-400 L lens like haircut's. for mow though i am very happy with my setup. does the job more time than not and the not time are probably me

yeah it's really is a great lens for the money. i am very happy with it. it's not quite as crisp as the L lens and anything over 250mm zoom it really suffers.

if i keep zoom under 250 and use a 5.6-6.3 stop i have no complaints. one thing i've learnt that regardless of gear, being able to track the subject properly makes the biggest difference.

are you saying that the images out of your camera are nearly the same as the ones out of mine pre edit or post edit?

speaking of editing software. the old graduated fake sky filter was used in a few of my shots.

nice pics looked like a great day and a lot of
wind

Nice images Justi(a)ns!

A picture is worth a thousand words.
(...and with photoshop even more.)

Good work Gazza, Ollie and Old Mate though.

hi trav, i'm always keen to throw ideas around. start a fresh thread and i'll chime in with loads of opinions.


does anyone have any reports from today or from the podium of the comp?

Thanks for the photos guys there awesome!
Quite a few beers worth there I think

Wind was "very lite" it took a few goes at getting out, But was well worth the effort after the first wave

The waves got the sail a couple of times lucky I got it back up out of them or it would of been a bit of a swim

A very short vid from the day

nice one haircut.

yeah richie you're right. something i would love to try. is costly though,

i'd need

$1600 for the housing
$250 for the lens port
$150 for the 50mm prime

or i could get a 100-400 L series.

now i just need the cash.
