Surfas

My brother was in town for about 3 days on his way to a trip to Australia. That lucky sucka. While he was here I had a chance to take him and my dad out to the North Shore to kick back a bit. I had my camera with me so I thought I'd try take a few shots out there.

I had my tripod with me too. I think to get good shots with a telephoto lens I think you pretty much need a tripod or you need an incredibly steady hand. I'm about as steady as a 7-point earthquake so I figured I'd bust out the tripod.

Anyway, I head out there to the beach and all around me are guys with all their professional cameras. Lenses as long as your arm and glass as big as your head. HO SHAME!! I quietly took my camera off the tripod and just quietly snuck some shots trying not to look like a total loser.

I had a few shots. The waves weren't HUGE this day. The shots certainly weren't as steady as I wanted them to be. There's a small bit of motion blur but it's alright. One day soon I'll get that new camera and then look out suckas!! Heheh...photography is definitely a "big dick" field. The bigger your lens the more people suck up to you. No pun intended.

While we're on photography. There's a competition for young photographers here: http://www.gpoty.org The winner gets a new 40D Canon camera. I'd enter if only I didn't need to be 20 years younger.... I mean.... like 4 or 5 years younger. *cough*
