Cardiff morning of 1/6/12

Got back in the water today after a day of absence due to some optical issues of the human kind. Apparently due to a lot of time in the water, especially shooting, the cornea on my left eye has been compromised. Its not that bad actually, just feels like there is sand in my eye at all times. I Spent all yesterday running around to doctors offices, eventually figuring it out I had severely dried out my eyes, primarily the left one...ye old shooting eye.

Obviously I couldn't pass up the first big swell of the year...

Foggy fog

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.
