Don's report on Sunday at 11.16am

"Looks like I should skip my Sunday sleep-ins. I snooze, I lose."

Hmmm..... something of an understatement Don ....

And if you did manage to get up early enough you'd get this all to yourself for a while ....

Meanwhile a little known Sydney point break looked OK as well .... hardly anyone out

There were some reasonable size sets coming through, although the wind got into quite badly by around 9.30am

Maxi, nice

Yeah looked like it would have been worth being out, just one slight little problem.....

NO FUCK'EN CAMERA

Maybe, just maybe that could be rectified (in some part) this week

Butts finally finds the camera he's after. Now, the only question that remains is where to find a suitable housing for it .....

Accident waiting to happen

Got up at 4.30am( was actually 5.30 - forgot to set clock night before!) and drove 2hrs down the coast with a mate to spot that we thought was going to be firing. It wasn't. Drive around for a hour and half checking all other possible setups to no avail! Bite the bullet and surf onshore closeouts.

Get in to work, grab coffee and decide to checkout RS. See that it was firing five minutes drive from front door with only a handful out.

I hate mondays.

HAHAHA, thanks Seal.

West Virginia? Whats better, here or there?

It was the best lid session I've seen in a while. Although I would've liked a bit more light. These were taken very early - there would have been a bit of sun but some morning cloud on the horizon dulled things considerably. Apologies for the 'grainy' feel of some .... some bastard was on the headline shooting with a Canon 400 f/2.8 which is what I want ...

11 - this is two frames after pic #1 - WOTD for me.

12 - no surprise what happen's a few frames after this eh?

13

14

Back to the point - it can be a real circus down there on a Sunday morning when nowhere else is working .... There was a surf photographer in the water and more than a few wannabe photogs around the pool - myself included - so not many waves would have gone by without someone stashing the picture away on their hard drive.

15 - this shows why I wanted more light for the earlier session. Crispy.

16 - hard to disguise where this was taken

17 - and same goes for this one

18 - one way out ....

Maxi, classic point. Excellent light and colour

The lid action is pretty spec

Some great shots

Sell your car, and then the 400/F2.8 can be yours

nice shots maxi. in terms of keepers, you def had a good sesh. love how you can see the thickness of the lip. would have looked awesome from in the water, huh maxi

i don't usually mind the noise, but the thing i don't like about sensor noise is how you can see sort of horizontal and vertical lines. (eg in pic 12)

Alright!

Yeah, there was a fair bit of swell around yesterday... Though I wasn't lucky enough to score anything too exciting. Should of been on the other side of the harbour prehaps...
