Forgot my wetsuit so i took my camera
« on: February 07, 2010, 05:09:06 pm »
After realising i left my wetsuit in work i decided to take my camera down the beach to get a few shots of my mates surfing. Ive only owned my camera for a few days so this was my first go so please dont read on expecting the work of a pro:)

Anyway

Camera - Nikon D3000
Lens - Tamron 70-300
Settings - Well alot really as i was playing with everything so if you want to know anything for a particular shot let me know and ill have a look.
Conditions - Bright windless sunny day so for alot of the time i was shooting into direct sun:(:(

All in all i really enjoyed myself (not as much as i would of surfing though)
But i have really learnt alot and towards the end i was getting to grips with my new camera and im looking forward to my next trip.:D

Comments welcome

Nice pics, Ben - Particularly your favourite.

Sometimes as one door closes (forgetting your wetsuit) another door opens.

I'm sure that by being a surfer you recognise the actions and can capture the better moments. Keep at it.
