what's really fun is experimenting with a variety of shutter speeds, obviously from very short to completely freeze action (1/500s - 1/2000s) to a range between 1/10s & 1/40s to create very pleasing action blurring.
most were shot with the Canon 400mm f/4L.
both spots have very unique geographical orientation that allow a perspective (perpendicular to the waves movement) that to some extent simulates a 'water' shot with a housing. looking into the tube as it were gives an amazing feeling of power, size and the very cylindrical nature of waves that range from 8' - 20' on the faces.
shooting is exciting because the action is close, always keeping an eye on powerful shorebreak washing toward you from your periphery. on the largest of winter swells you can literally feel the beach vibrating!!!
way too old to surf 'em anymore, it gets those old juices really flowing!!!
