ben .. you just accused me of drawing a parallel , and then by asking your "question" you are now implying I support the death penalty ... what the f'ck are you on ... :?: its called speaking in hyperbole or exaggeration to point out the ridiculousness of your argument. I was trying to appeal to yo...

Surfin' I think what needs to be acknowledged is the difference between Sharks and murderers is the ability for reason and a moral compass however skewed. You can't judge an animal based on a human set of values because it doesn't 'decide' anything and does not have the capacity for a value system. ...

If i was buying a digital to travel with it would be the g10. Full manual control plus aperture and shutter priority means you have the control of an slr and its small too!

We've been talking about this one a fair bit a uni. Its pretty interesting and the 5D will be far better in terms of quality than the D90. A few draw backs are no auto focus and difficult aperture control. As for it revolutionising surf videography... I don't think it will have much on an effect. Th...

stoive, nice longer exposures. Have you ever shot with film? If you like long exposures at night you could consider playing around with reciprocity failure. When film is exposed by shutter speeds longer than a few minutes this reciprocity failure occurs and causes a colour shift(different film shift...

Love the horror shot southozzie. Its interesting you find the studio too limiting, I find the studio good because it isn't limiting, at any time of the day you can have any type of light you want, adjust shadow etc. here is one from a new series I'm working on. http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c57/...

yeah, we've had some sick sessions as the 'murra wave pool.
No blow ins, its locals only.

I think, as with all art, the form vs. function argument arises and, like great artists Curren finds and creates a relationship between the 2 which is undeniable. It's not often, artistically, that economy of style = high aesthetics but Curren is a beautiful and rare example of such a circumstance.

Big centre fin and 2 small side biters.
Some crazy flyers too huh?
He was definitely a stand out. As the images probably show. He would take a free fall drop, pull in, fly out and air or do a massive roundhouse. So good to watch.

That would be dirt on the sensor of my 5 year old D100. Won't be suffering that problem anymore as i just got my hands on a D300!! 8) The flash of light on the chest of drawers is my flash head which i am holding. Figure that one out!! Its funny, i shot this on my D100 at iso 200 as it is the lowest...
