Bit of fun @ DY (Pics)

Post by Butts » Sun Jan 28, 2007 10:25 pm

Well out early for a surf, then strained my groin (no idea how) :shock:
so came in and had a coffee. But I couldn't sit straight watching the
conditions so headed down to the car and jumped back in the water (with my camera) :wink:

Hope you all got some today :)

I went to Dee Why for breakfast/lunch after my surf further north. It was the worst of what i saw as far as crowds and wave quality. sooooo many people out at dee why.

Why was there a heap of peoplle at No Mans land? both in the water and on the beach. it looked like a carnival or something..........?

I lived in Clyde Road a couple of years ago - but was dissatisfied with the surf so moved to England :-). It was no better there, suprise suprise, so now I live in NZ where steamers are needed even in the middle of summer... Damnit.

Still come over to DY 3 - 4 times a year for some decent warm water waves... In fact - might even zip over the ditch this weekend.

Mate, they're some very nice photos. #7's the winner for me.

What sort of camera are you using? I've been looking at trying some similar photography myself, but wouldn't know where to start. :oops:

Sleepy, funny you should mention that, up until yesterday never :shock:
Young Dan clipped me, unintentionally, just on the shoulder whilst trying to
give me some nice action. I am very conscience of fin chops though, which means
generally I just get out of the way sooner rather than later. :oops:

Dammit, yep was there today but went for a surf 8) Nice conditions, with
heaps of crunchy straight handers :wink: Yesterday was actually better
for shape :)

Does he look anything like you KK?

RV, Always good shots of Danny, clean, nice, and extremely helpful to one "OLD"
photog :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Tills, using a Finepix S9500 (thats actually for sale at the moment) :wink: :lol:

To the DYSF boys, many thanks for your persistence yesterday, it was a whole lot of fun 8)

#5 and #1 for me Butts

... driving along Wakehurst Parkway yesterday morning - I looked up to see the sun behind the clouds as in #1 and knew that you'd be pressing the shutter just about then ....

Has RV been hassling you to get the lens yet? If not - come on Ric - give him hell ....

Still waiting for SOMEONE to maybe make a decision :wink: :arrow: :shock: :arrow: :lol: :lol:

Catch22, do I get a waterhousing and lens, or do I get a land lens, thats
my conundrum. :shock:
Still haven't taken a single bloody shot with it yet :shock: :shock: :shock:

Here’s a thought dipstick, get both :twisted: ya useless SOB. :D :lol:

What have I got to do? Take you to a bloody camera shop and walk you through it? No you have intramanety access, work it out for yourself. :roll:

No more excuses sunshine, get on with it, buy less house :idea: tell the missus she has to work harder it ain’t about HER it’s about US. You know, your forum buddies and OUR enjoyment.

Why are people so selfish these days. :roll:

Take Maxi (no one else will) :twisted: he’s now a perfectly well-adjusted individual, why? You no why, and it’s all length, focal length you filthy bastards!

Buy it, buy it, buy it :D :arrow: gotta go, the wifes lurking. :lol:

Well if someone bloody well bought a photo off of me, then I may be able to justify it :shock: :shock:

Only joking :oops: :lol: Would be nice though :cry:

I am sussing around, cost is my biggest issue (some of us don't have the
cash resources like Maxi :P ) so may have to choose only one direction
for the time being.
Need to sell my existing camera as well, otherwise I'm going to struggle with
any potential purchase :twisted:

Offshore, the groin was a okay this morning. Got out for my session early
just before the southerly kicked in :wink:
