Cabo Preview

Recently my family and I went to Cabo for a week vacation. My brother and I spent every day in the warm water on the Pacific side. Its looking like a busy week, but I hope to post more photos from this trip soon.

TP 2/5/12

Yesterday mornings high tide couldn't prevent the strong offshore winds from making some very photographic barrels.

The water was close to clear enough for one of these.

Blacks 1/27/12

Last Friday was the peak of the most recent swell. Although it wasn't predicted to be SUPER big or as big as the previous swell it actually was very close in size; more of a welcome surprise than a let down like the last. I decided to shoot blacks to switch things up a bit. The last two swells I shot at Big Rock (somewhere unknown) and Cardiff reef so it was time for a beach break. Blacks is known for a lot of things... One of those things is its' Canyon sets, or otherwise clean up sets. This, I was not looking forward to, but I hoped the challenges would be worth it in the end.

With every water shoot session comes the first test shot(once the camera is in the housing). Generally an ugly under exposed cold face would be seen here, but this one was one was somewhat of an improvement from the usual.

This guy got every bomb set that came thru, where were you?

One of a few canyon sets that came to make sure everyone was not a sleep.

Despite the few poundings the session was well worth while. Its not too often I make the journey down to blacks, but now I know the next time I go it'll be even more fruitful.

Tripped out shot of my board shorts

After the sunrise and sunset combo sessions today I slipped into the jacuzzi for a little relaxation and to rinse my housing. Thawing the body was also in order. The ocean is not warm right now.

La Jolla this Morning 1/4/12

Couldn't decide which one I liked most, so you get the whole sequence :D

This am in La Jolla people were getting some nuggets.

First day of swell after sunset in Del Mar

This was shot probably 45 min after the sun went down, so its real crunchy :/ I usually have a hard time bringing my ISO above 400 but i figured id see just how well these high ISO's (6400 in this case) really perform. Not impressed, at all. Regardless, it was fun to watch the swell fill in. Tomorrow=more time in the water and lower iso's for your improved viewing quality.

Salt Creek 6/28/10

Thanksgiving swell in SD

The Sun just barely peaked over land to light this barrel.
