Water Shots from D&W

It took a few days for the conditions to clean up to the point where I could try another outing with the water camera.  The waves were glassy and the wind was slightly offshore holding up the waves a bit so I was able to capture a couple of hollow ones.  I still have yet to catch one that I’m completely happy with, but it sure is fun trying.

Special thanks again to Rick G. for letting me use his camera.  Cheers!

First Water Shots

This morning, I grabbed a couple waves then switched out my board for some swim fins and a waterproof camera.  A friend let me borrow his Canon Powershot SD700 IS with a waterproof housing so that I could try my hand at some shots of waves.  I have to say that I had an absolute blast being in the water with that camera.

I was trying to get a picture from inside the tube, but this was my first outing with a water camera so I found it to be a bit harder than I expected.  While I personally got barreled a few times, I didn’t capture the images to prove it.  I’ll give it a shot again tomorrow if the waves cooperate.

Here my 1st attempt at a tube shot plus another couple pictures of waves from the opposite perspective.
