a day at CI

I left my canon xti, with a 50mm f/1.8 lens, on the counter today at work. I'm not sure who took any of these photos, but if i had to guess I would say Will did. It's funny how serious we each look.... after all its a surf shop and we spent most of the day watching surf movies.

Lasse!!

No one is cooler than Lasse Gjertsen. Enjoy.

just point and shoot

I used my "7 megapixel" PowerShot SD550 yesterday while trying to get some wave shots. I took my dog down to the beach and didn't feel like carrying the legit gear, so I brought the trusty powershot. It's a Canon so it obviously takes quality pictures. I was standing in waist deep water trying my hardest not to get the damn thing wet. It was really, really high tide and I almost lost my ipod on the beach to a rogue set. The exposures were pretty difficult to control, so the pics turned out a little funky.

Random Fact of the Day

I took some photos today, BUT i didn't put them on my computer because I watched South Park instead. SO, here is a nice random tid bit of information. And yes it's true.

Over 10 million people around the world drink their urine for it's supposed health benefits.

Some Motion Blurs

Not substantially new, but I want to post something I've been messing around with. These were each shot with a shutter speed of 1/8th of a second. I used a longer lens and a panning technique as each photo was exposed. The nice colors of the sunset and the little waves in the foreground did the rest of the work.
