Chop Hop 29th May 2009

A bad mix of small wind-chop-come-swell and onshore winds early. Unfortunately it’s only going to get worse with a 30 knot blast later this afternoon.

Difficult to shoot in the morning when it’s so damn dark. Even after cranking the ISO up to 1600+ on the Mark 3 and you’re still too slow to capture anything decent. (that’s camera geek talk people).

Bondi has a pile of sand really far out the back off Icebergs. On a decent swell it may connect with the inside. We hope. Tomorrow the south swell machine will pump a few 5/6 footers into the bay…Sunday even bigger 6/7 footers BUT the winds will be onshore and showers. Not pretty.

    No HDR, Can’t seem to get my head around HDR. Makes images look totally fake.
